Aisha McAdams

A documentary photographer and runner.

In today’s episode, I sat down with Aisha McAdams on the eve of her Boston Marathon run. She was nice enough to meet up with me last minute after what I’m sure was a long weekend of work. I walked into her Airbnb as she was destroying a sandwich, carbo-loading for Boston no doubt, along with three sweet potatoes roasting in the oven.

Aisha is very talented and I was stoked to chat with her. The conversation turned out insightful beyond what I could have imagined. Seriously, every moment of this is packed full of wisdom. Conversations like this are why I started this podcast and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

We covered:

  • Her relationship with running and how she got into photography.

  • How she follows her gut when deciding what stories to tell.

  • How focusing on your own community and the people within it is the best place to start.

  • Finding child-like joy and awe when picking projects.

  • Her journey through burnout and finding ways to a sustainable career.

  • Clients as booty calls vs relationships.

  • Her thoughts on Social Media and comparison.

  • Why she started Rhoam Creative Studio.

  • How she’s thinking about her future in this career.
