It’s been one year since I wrote Take The F*cking Lens Cap Off* . The book that pissed some people off, empowered others, and reminded me exactly who the hell I am.

In this honest anniversary episode, I’m unpacking why I wrote it, what it cost me, and why I’m still not going anywhere. This is my love letter to the loud, the defiant, and every creative who’s ever been told to stay small.

We’re talking naysayers, growth, authenticity, and taking up space in an industry that still pretends to be polite. Consider this your wake-up call — and your reminder that no one’s coming to save your dream.

If you needed a sign to stand up, speak out, and take the damn lens cap off… this is it.
