Gary Hughes - Small Business Champion - a podcast by CreativeLive

Gary Hughes is a photographer, educator, podcaster and entrepreneur at heart. In 2008 he and his wife, Julie, founded Hughes Fioretti Photography, which is now THE place for headshots in Central Florida. Through both his photography and education, Gary’s mission is to empower photographers and entrepreneurs of all types to create the type of business that sets them free to live the life they want. His work has been featured in Professional Photographer magazine and he has been a speaker for IUSA, CreativeLive, and has written articles on photography for the Huffington Post.

In this episode, Gary explores how he tried his hardest not to follow in the footsteps of his photographer parents, from touring in a van as a musician to owning construction and IT companies before buying a $300 Canon Rebel. You’ll find out Gary’s definition of creativity and the curious history of creative hobbies of his male ancestors. Learn why photographing 5000 people a year doing volume headshot photography brings him joy and is a perfect fit for his personality. Gary shares why reaching out and talking to others about mental health is critical to normalizing depression and anxiety as a human experience.
