#62 - Chasing Dreams: Leaving Multi-Million Dollar Career to Landscape Photographer w/ Marlon Holden
Description
What if the life you’ve built isn’t the life you want?
Marlon traded comfort for purpose—walking away from corporate success to chase his dream as a landscape photographer. From sailing around the world as a child to commanding tens of thousands for his art today, Marlon shares raw insights on risk, discipline, masculinity, and the courage it takes to burn the ships and start again.
Marlon's path took unexpected turns—from tournament-winning fishing boat captain to corporate sales success, where he eventually found himself miserable despite the financial rewards. Rather than settling, he walked away from comfort to pursue fine art photography, facing ridicule when he declared his intention to sell photographs for premium prices. Today, his gallery thrives with pieces commanding tens of thousands of dollars.
Whether you're contemplating your own entrepreneurial journey or simply seeking inspiration to live more authentically, Marlon's story provides both practical wisdom and a powerful reminder that with unwavering belief and consistent effort, you can create a life of freedom and purpose on your own terms.
