  • A game-changer for creatives and business owners

    Jai’s podcast has been a massive turning point for me—not just in how I approach my photography business, but in how I think about mindset, money, and showing up with purpose. Every episode feels like a mentoring session packed with value, honesty, and real-world advice.

    He has this rare gift of making you feel seen, encouraged, and capable—like you can dream big and make it happen. I’ve taken action on so many of his tips and already seen growth in confidence, pricing, and client relationships... more

  • This podcast changed my life

    I’ve been an avid listener of Jai and the Make Your Break Podcast for about 8 months now and I have gained more valuable knowledge and wisdom in that amount of time from him than I have from anyone else before. His message is life-changing if you’re open to receiving it. I attended his last Wedding Photography Summit and plan on joining the business map as soon as I can! I am a lifelong fan.

  • The Best Podcast for Creative Entrepreneurs. Look no further

    I’ve been looking for a good podcast forever, and my friend told me about Jai’s—so glad she did! The first time I listened, I thought I’d just have it on while editing photos, but it was so full of useful tips and cool ideas that I stopped everything and started taking notes.

    This is the podcast I’ve always wanted—no boring stuff, just straight-up helpful advice that gets me motivated. It’s different from anything else out there, and you won’t hear these kinds of ideas anywhere else.
