We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Cassidy Richardson a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Cassidy, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What do you think it takes to be successful?
To be successful in life whether you’re running a business, growing in your career, raising a family, or whatever your journey might be I feel that it all starts with having a solid support system. Without the support of my family and best friends I can’t imagine where I would be today. My parents have always been my biggest fans. My mom has supported every decision I’ve ever made. She has been there through every positive and negative phase of my life and the love she shows me every day has gotten me through it all. She has built my confidence and taught me resilience, love, respect and how to be a hard worker. My dad, before he passed away was my biggest cheerleader as far back as I can remember. He never failed to make me believe I am unique, smart, beautiful and capable of achieving anything I set my mind to. The love I’ve been shown throughout my life has given me the tools I needed be who I am today.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
My name is Cassidy! It’s hard to put myself into a “box” but I’m many things. I run a photography business based out of Charlotte, NC. I create content on social media. I’m a music lover through and through! I play the ukulele and sing all of the time – it’s what gets me through the hard times! I graduated from UNC Charlotte in 2021 and although I now work your typical 9-5 job, I never let that define me! I’m all about pursuing the hobbies that bring me joy and make me who I am.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
The most rewarding part about being a creative individual is putting your work out there and seeing the positive impact it can have on others. Whether it’s sending over photos from a shoot and getting a clients feedback or posting a new video for the world to see and realizing that I’ve helped someone out there learn something new.
Is there mission driving your creative journey?
My goals are simple with my creative journey. I want to lead a life worth living. I want to wake up every day and love what I’m doing and find a way to use my talents to honor God and bring others to Christ.
