I built my entrepreneurial path without a roadmap, learning through mistakes and victories along the way. Like many entrepreneurs, I struggled with self-doubt, overworking, and the constant pressure to figure everything out on my own. In 2008, I founded a nonprofit using therapeutic photography to help at-risk children - it grew to impact youth from Bangladesh to Kansas City. This evolved into Johnna Brynn Photography LLC, a thriving international business that took me across the globe.

What I learned building these businesses is that success isn't about working harder - it's about working from your strengths and building simple systems that actually work. Now I'm here to give you what I wished I had: a clear guide to turn your expertise into steady business growth without the overwhelm and burnout.

Growing up as a missionary kid and traveling to over 30 countries gave me a front-row seat to watching people create meaningful impact with limited resources. I've taught at universities, run multiple businesses, and worked with people from all walks of life - from at-risk youth to CEOs. This combination taught me that sustainable success comes from understanding what makes each person tick.

I now live in sunny Sarasota, Florida with my husband Erik and our sweet dog Leyla, where we're obsessed with sun, sand and salt water!
