We were lucky to catch up with Chad Julius recently and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Chad thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Day to day the world can seem like a tough place, but there’s also so much kindness in the world and we think talking about that kindness helps spread it and make the world a nicer, kinder place. Can you share a story of a time when someone did something really kind for you?
As a photographer, one of the kindest things anyone has ever done for me was at my first ever art showing within a Gallery that opened on First Friday in the Santa Fe art district in Denver Colorado. A friend of mine who came to check out my show purchased my first ever piece to sell and then he returned it to me so I would be able to keep my first ever sold piece. I still have it today and I think about what he did for me each time I see the piece.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I have been successful within the automotive industry, business marketing, photography and as an Entrepreneur for over two decades. Over the span of my well rounded career I have revolutionized automotive consumer protection offerings, b2b multi-tier digital marketing, mentored others, provided historic client growth and profitability within Automotive Finance while achieving enhanced education, #1 ranking in professional networking and international publication. Growth, profitability and client satisfaction drive me to lead from the front as a Professional Consultant, Executive and Expert.
“Throw me to the wolves and I will come back the leader of the pack.”
How did you build your audience on social media?
Social Media has been a key factor to my successes because I really engage with it all. I find that many business owners have a page or profile in Social Media but they expect people to come to them and due to this they stop using it or they fell discouraged to not continue building. For me it has all been about the fact I am ok with reaching out to others to connect with them further in Business Networking while also being present in what it is I am currently doing. If you check out my LinkedIn or Instagram right now you will see a heavy recent push in content within Automotive Finance along with a not too long ago push on my recent Art Show events as well. I keep myself in front of my connections and this allows them to continue to grown daily.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
I have been a photographer for over 20 years now with much of that time being a professional photographer. Over that time span I have worked on shooting events, restate, graduates, sporting events, fine art, vehicles, pin up, weddings and tons more. In all of this I have found that by taking thousands and thousands of photos I have found what I really enjoy taking photos of the most and it is starting to show in my work. My love of angles in how I shoot allows me to grab full feelings of true space in my photos making scenic and architecture as my favorites. I shot 34 weddings in one year and found that while I loved taking the photos I was not a huge fan of editing and the business side of taking photos. This all comes from resilience over time of not knowing exactly where I wanted to be with photography and this includes stopping shooting for long periods of time as well. But always having this drive to take photos continues to drive me to what next will I shoot no matter where I am or what time of day it might be.
