The year 2025 brought so much change into my life.

When I look back over the year as a whole I remember a lot of hurt and disappointment, but also a lot of growth and healing and learning. For me it really was the year of new opportunities.

I went into the year of 2025 with the mindset of being open to new opportunities, of looking for and accepting them as they came into my world. I would repeatedly ask myself “Am I using fear of failure as an excuse to never take action?? What does this mean? What does this make possible?”

I learned a lot about myself, about what I wanted, who I wanted to be, and how I want JohnnyBoy to show up in the future. I am taking that with me into this year of 2026.

2025 was indeed a year of new opportunities, let's take a look back.

In 2023 I began putting themes to my overall upcoming year. A guiding idea of how I would operate throughout that year and what filter I would use when making decisions and taking aligned actions.

2024 was The Year of Events and 2025 was The Year of New Opportunities. Both years saw massive growth in my mindset, my business moves, and my connections because I would constantly ask myself "What does this make possible, and does it line up with my theme for this year?"

2026 has a theme as well and I will dive into that in an upcoming episode but for today I want to dive into assigning a theme for your overall year, and how that helped me in 2025 The Year of New Opportunities.

Early 2025 I forgot I am a creator, but by the end of the year I had found that joy again and tapped back into the gift of creating.

As we move into the new year I want to remind you of that gift, and the power you have within you right now to pursue the life you want to live this year and every day moving forward.

This is part 1 in a short series about being Locked In for 2025, enjoy!

Moving into the new year I am committed to being intentional with my marketing efforts when it comes to my products and services. This means I need to look at what I have been doing (not much in recent years), what I haven't been doing (being consistent), what I need to continue, and what I need to stop.

I sat down and did an audit of my marketing over the past 2 years and came to the conclusion of what I need to focus on moving forward into 2026. I formulated a plan of action to follow, and in doing so I found 3 main marketing tips I want to share with you for your own marketing efforts.

Tune in, audit your own marketing, and develop your own plans to better market your product or service in the coming year!

The weekend following Mr Olympia I went to Los Angeles California to take part in Los Angeles Fashion Week produced by Art Hearts Fashion.

This would be my 5th time volunteering backstage with Art Hearts Fashion and it was one of the best shows I have been part of, including 2 I attended as part of the audience.

Walking in backstage was like a mini family reunion; seeing all of the staff, photographers, models, and other volunteers I had seen or met with at previous shows. This was a chance to reconnect the sort of family that only forms at events.

3 days of helping designers left and right, I was moving chairs, I was carrying cases of water, I was herding models, organizing clothing and accessories ....I was in my element.

Hit play on this episode to hear all about my experience from the October 2025 Los Angeles Fashion Week produced by Art Hearts Fashion, and how it has played into how I will approach photography in the near future.

Coming out of 2024 The Year of Events I had to decide what I wanted the theme of 2025 to be.

After much thought, prayer, and introspective it became clear something big would be on the horizon for my life. Putting that into action, and backing it up with belief the entire way, I decided the theme for 2025 would be The Year of New Opportunities.

I knew I would be looking for new opportunities everywhere I went, that I would be open to moving far beyond my comfort zone, that I would be leveling up in multiple areas of my life. I knew I be experiencing new opportunities throughout the entire year, and boy was I right.

Before Las Vegas was even on my radar. Before the day job offer came through. Before my dogs health issues started I had a deep since 2025 would bring many changes to my life, and I thought I was ready it.

This episode is a continuation of the series outlining what is next for JohnnyBoy Studios.
