We asked some of the brightest and most thoughtful entrepreneurs, artists and creatives in the community to tell us about something they believe that most people in their space disagree with and we’ve shared highlights below.

I’ve noticed a distinct divide in our industry when it comes to connecting with clients on a personal level. Some professionals prefer to keep things strictly business, while I believe in building real, human connections with my clients. For me, it’s a reciprocal relationship—when they open up, I do too. This approach has been key to building my dream clientele. There’s a misconception that by sharing parts of ourselves, we risk crossing boundaries or losing respect. But in my experience, it’s quite the opposite. Being open and communicative with my clients has actually made it easier to set clear boundaries and maintain mutual respect. They know me, understand my lifestyle, and recognize that I prioritize both my work and my well-being. Read more>>

I believe that in the photography and videography industry, many professionals think they need to stay within a specific box or style to succeed. This conventional approach limits creativity and stops people from being seen as unique artists. Unlike most, I believe in stepping out of these boundaries and putting a face to the art—showcasing personal vision and identity. This involves embracing freedom of expression through one’s taste in fashion, personal style, music, and drawing inspiration from other artists. The focus should not just be on capturing the art but on allowing the artist to be visible, recognized, and connected to their work in a way that reflects their diverse influences and individuality.

There are so many different areas within a photography business that I could focus on to answer this question: the booking process, advertising, the execution of the session or wedding, post-process, and so on. What I think I want to concentrate on is the lack of flexibility coming from a lot of photographers when it comes to supporting clients’ visions, especially for weddings. I hear many photographers out there using their artistic style as an excuse for not providing clients any flexibility with “must-have photos” and ignoring their clients’ visions or preferences. What we, as photographers, have to remember is that a wedding day is not about our portfolio. As creatives, we are still providing a service. Read more>>

I imagine most people in my industry (astrology) disagree with any “one size fits all” answers about astrological happenings, or birth charts. I know for myself, when I first came to a astrology, the part of me that wanted neat, clean, “right” answers was a bit dissatisfied at how many interpretations there were for the same planetary position. For example, a Moon in Aquarius could be interpreted as cold, distant and detached, while another would emphasize the focus on innovation and focus on humanitarian causes. Another would bring in the theme of the “rebel”, and yet another would make an associated with the Ayurvedic physical constitution of being “highly vata”, contributing to Aquarians being alien space-cases with no sense of grounding.

there’s a common myth that health issues are genetic and a quick fix like a pill will solve complex problems. At Koryowellness we see health differently. We believe while genetics play a role they don’t seal your fate. Our bodies, minds and emotions are deeply connected and lasting health requires a holistic approach. This is rooted in my own journey where I saw firsthand how lifestyle, mental state and even emotional history can impact well being ( even when you are healthy things can change, when i move to the US my whole body start changing eventhough i was eating pretty much the same). It’s about understanding the bigger picture—our behaviors, environment and even the stress we carry—that shapes our health more than any single treatment could. We focus on epigenetics, we know our habits and mindset can turn on or off genes. Healing for us is a process not an event, requires dedication to learning and understanding one’s own needs.
