  • 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.

  • Thank you, Jai and Riley, for this episode!

    This episode really hit home for me. As a ceramic artist, I sometimes question if what I do is enough compared to businesses that teach or transform lives in obvious ways. But listening to this reminded me that what I create does matter. My pottery is more than just objects—it’s my healing, my art, and a way to connect with others. Knowing that a little piece of my journey is in homes across the country is mind-blowing, and I’ll forever be in awe of that. Building a legacy is the goal, even if o... more

Even if you're not a photographer, I wholeheartedly recommend this podcast, there's so much valuable insight for everyone.
