Insights From The Circle

This episode is brought to you by The Circle, our membership program where you can get support, take action, and build your dream creative life. We have weekly check-ins, monthly idea brainstorm sessions, curated opportunities to pursue in the travel media space, and review sessions where you can receive feedback on your pitches and much, much more. Today, you’ll hear from Circle members Ashley Brooks and Sam Flanagan. Ashley is a travel and lifestyle writer and the owner of a boutique pilates studio in Florida. She has been with The Circle since January. Sam is a travel and tech writer interested in economic development who is also based in Florida. She has been a member of The Circle for several months. This very special conversation is about what it means to be creative, who gets to decide whether or not you’re a real writer or photographer, and what happens when we surround ourselves with people on similar paths. At times, our progress toward our dreams may seem slow, or the steps we take may feel small, but they add up over time into substantial transformation. When we embark on a different path and try something new, we give ourselves the beautiful gift of new experiences, new knowledge, and perhaps most importantly, new communities. Tune in today to learn more about the power of taking risks and committing to your dreams.
