Description

What happens when the thing you love most… stops feeling like you?

In this deeply personal episode, Rick opens up about the moment he almost walked away from creating altogether. Between long nights, heartbreak, and burnout, he found himself staring at his camera — unsure if he’d ever pick it up again.

But what started as an ending became the spark for a new beginning. Through honest reflection and rediscovering his love for photography, Rick shares how falling apart creatively can sometimes be the start of something stronger.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, uninspired, or on the edge of giving up, this story is for you.

In this episode:

  • The real story behind Rick’s creative fallout in 2013

  • How personal loss can silence your creative voice

  • What it takes to find joy in creating again

  • Why “falling out” isn’t failure — it’s transformation
