14 | Jason Malouin | Photographic Inception of Connection and Communication | Just Be You Podcast

Today I have one of the world's best portrait photographers, Jason Malouin and we dive deep into effective communication and impacting the world through the inception of visual connection.

I feel so freaking blessed when it comes to podcasting because I become profoundly wiser - via the wisdom of my guests - after every conversation.

Today some of the mind-blowing points include:

• Why all connections are not equal and how the level of connection really matters.
• How to ask the right questions to help the people you are trying to help.
• How and why assumptions suck.
• What you think matters is more than likely not what anyone else finds valuable.
• Divine moments are captured via the intuitive ‘moments before’.
• How to communicate effectively.
• How a few quick mini wins can take you through the armour of trying to get it all perfect.
• Understanding that how we think we are portraying ourselves is not how we are actually seen.
• It’s the micro details in our expression that hold power.
• You cannot demand genuine or authentic connection - it must be unveiled through vulnerability.
• What makes a moment ‘photo worthy’.
• Just because you cannot see your greatness, is never a true indication of its non-existence.
• 'Being you' requires us to remove stuff, not add on.
• How to get us to our core to reveal ourselves to the world.
• Communication is only effective if you begin with where the level of the listener is at.
• How the key is always, to give yourself permission.
