I appreciate you having me here. It’s awesome to have you here. Vance. love what you have to share about heavy freedom in your life and I’ve seen your work and other aspects of we’ll talk about what you’re doing now. But I first got acquainted with you as a photographer in my hometown newspaper of Evansville, Indiana, and I saw your work then So what I’d like to hear a little bit about you is just little bit about your life kind of got you from a small city photographer and you can say more about that to what you are now a leader of a dynamic business and author of podcaster Tim a little bit about your story my friend

Vincent Pugliese 5:16
Yeah, there’s there’s a lot of layers to it in terms of like, you know, what adversity there’s, it seems like it happened in every every stage. That’s why some people aspect what is the How did you get through it? It depends on which part of the story you ask, right? For me, in the beginning, I was a terrible student. I was lost. So the people that didn’t do well in school and wanted to do something later on in life. I’m kind of, you know, something that went through that because I just learned on the day before graduation, that I was even graduated from high school. I was arrested when I was 18 years old for stealing. I had no moral compass, really rough time in my life. And that went on till I was 22 years old when really I had a nightmare that I got caught stealing again. I was living with my parents again, and I went downstairs to just kind of comment contemplate was the first time I ever said to myself, like, what are you doing with your life? And I, you know, my dad came downstairs and me my dad didn’t get along, as you could imagine, because I wouldn’t get along with me at that point. But he said to me goes, What’s wrong? And I said, I don’t know what I’m doing with my life. And he very simply was just your two o’clock in the morning. Well, you like taking pictures, you like sports, that’s all I did was watch sports or, or listen to music. It’s like, why don’t you take a photography class, you could maybe be a sports photographer. And, you know, a couple years earlier, I just realized, you know, I have nothing to lose anymore. Because I had nothing to gain. There was no, no, there was no expectations. So I thought, I’m going to go all in and that’s when I just I decided I bought a camera. The next day, I signed up to community college, to learn, you know, something about photography, which I didn’t know much about. And I said, for the first time, like, I am dedicated, I’m going to do this. And a year later, I was shooting professional sports. I wasn’t making much money, but I was doing what I love to do for the first time. And that’s what led to a 20 something year career in that.

Brad Miller 6:58
Yeah, it’s so you found you’re passionate about and love to do. And that led you to a career in sports photography. And but there’s somewhere along the line, things didn’t quite work out in that part of your life in your professional life as a photographer, and that led you to go some different directions. You ran into some adversity, the theme of what our podcast is about is helping people overcome adversity. So share a little bit of that part of the story where you run into some blocks and some things you had to overcome.

Vincent Pugliese 7:24
Yeah, we were kind of normally I’d gotten out of it. You know, my school days were behind me. I was. I was named William Randolph Hearst national photographer the year out of college. So I was the top college student, which is the opposite when I was in high school, met my awesome wife at college at Ohio University and got jobs in Evansville. So but we became normal. We both got staff jobs right out of college. And unlike before now, I got complacent. We, we got a mortgage. I got a car payment. We had student loans. We started buying stuff on credit card, we became just like everybody else. We became real my real life. He did that. Yo, it didn’t hit as much as I went after it. Yeah, okay, gotcha. Nobody made me do it. I just basically decided to be like everybody else, which is not me. And so what happened was, I was, you know, shooting post pro sports. So from Evansville, I was going to St. Louis to shoot the Rams games back when they were the best team and football and the Titans and, you know, I really aggressive in terms of shooting these things. And I won international sports photographer the year, which is the biggest award, you could win in my field. And at the same time, I want it Elizabeth won a major award, the same competition. And we got flown to Washington, DC to National Geographic for the award ceremony. Really big deal. At the same time, Elizabeth got pregnant with our first son, we were married a year, two years earlier. So it all came down. Andrew is now 14. He’s one month from being born. I just win this award. And everybody’s like, Oh, this is when you get your raise because I was only making $32,000 a year. But I was you know, considered one of the top so I’ll went to my boss for the for the interview in terms of what, in terms of the rays. And he said to me, You know you had your best year ever. I know you have the baby coming blah, blah, blah, but the best we could do is give you 3%.

Brad Miller 9:12
You know, that’s,

Vincent Pugliese 9:13
that’s things. And it’s one of those things where you just go. And I said to him, I said no matter what I do, because I work 20 hours overtime every week to make sure that photography was fantastic. We all did, we went above and beyond. I said to him, no matter what I do, no matter how hard I work, no matter how many awards, I win, I just stopped myself. And this is my dream career. Now this is like this is the thing I’ve been fighting for for 10 years. And I remember just sitting there and saying it’s over. I can’t do this, because I’ve got a baby on the way. And I looked out into the newsroom I saw and it just hit me how disgruntled so many people were.

Brad Miller 9:50
You had an aha moment in you

Vincent Pugliese 9:52
total aha moment where you realize all the stuff that you’ve been hearing now it makes sense. Now it makes sense. It’s like I don’t want to be 65 complaining about my job and struggling with money. And so I went home, I was really, you know, supposed to be working. I just left. And I called my dad to see if I could do some work for him. And he said, No. See my dad.

Brad Miller 10:14
That hurts to desert. My goodness. It so

Vincent Pugliese 10:16
that’s that moment I still remember like was yesterday but he said something that changed my life. He said, I’ve been trying to tell you this for years, you haven’t listened. Maybe you listen this time. He said, You have a skill, but you’re not using it correctly. And I’m listening. I’m like, What do you mean? you’re settling for 30 years, you become a really good photographer you didn’t used to be, but you worked really hard. You became that but you’re settling for $32,000 a year and benefits. Where you can go shoot sports, you can go shoot weddings, you can go shoot commercial work, you can make as much money as you want to make and control your schedule. But you’re settling for this and hear your dad say that well, usually your parents push you towards something more safe. Right? And that was the way my mom was very, you know You had a government job slow and steady. And we decided that day to start a business. And it was also though

Brad Miller 11:05
he’s telling you not settle. That’s awesome. That’s an awesome thing. And, and you heard it and you get something about it. Did you? What were some of the actions that you took to not settle?

Vincent Pugliese 11:15
Immediately? I started calling photographers in the phone book. You remember the phone book? I Oh, yeah. That Susan got the phone. And every one of them turned me down. Can I be an assistant? Can I be a second shooter? They all turned me down. They knew I was they’d seen me in the newspaper. I’ve been there for five years, four years. And finally, I just took the phone book and I threw it against the wall. And I was like, you know, you always hear like, if you can’t beat them, join them. I was like, Well, you can’t join them. We’re gonna beat them. So that’s literally how it started not knowing anything about business. So whenever people say like, I don’t know anything about business. I’m not a business person. I’m not not. Neither were we. We were employees. And but we had to if we wanted the life of freedom that we wanted, we need to get uncomfortable and do that. Yeah.

Brad Miller 11:56
So what were somebody So you started this business? So we’re doing like wedding. So this type of thing. Yeah, we start with the weddings, because

Vincent Pugliese 12:03
we figured we can get the Saturdays. We can make more money in short amount of time. And we can take our journalism background and just bring that to weddings. So everybody like

Brad Miller 12:14
your wife was with you on the Yeah, she’s a

Vincent Pugliese 12:17
better photographer than I am. Yeah. So I just downplayed the story so much, because we just keep talking about these things. But she’s a phenomenal photographer, but she also wasn’t into the business idea. So we need to go into this with a with a baby on the way, by the way, right? She’s about to birth. And we booked our first wedding a week before Andrew was born. We didn’t know at

Brad Miller 12:37
the end, you had to have a transformation of your mindset that didn’t events, you had to transform from a kind of a corporate gig type of thing to business and entrepreneurial type of thing immediately from employee to entrepreneur. And now what do I read? What do I study? Did you leave your job immediately?

Vincent Pugliese 12:54
No, we weren’t that bold. Looking back. As soon as everything what would you do different And I would have invested in myself more, instead of being so scarce with our money, even though we paid out our debt in three years, but I would have, I would have quit sooner knowing what the potential was, but we didn’t know. So I was scared.

Brad Miller 13:17
You know, there’s that unknown factor. And, you know, as such, there’s such a tug. Also, when you’re in the corporate world, when you’re in the world, when most of us are there’s such that tug, almost that magnetic thing to keep you there in that world. Oh, including,

Vincent Pugliese 13:34
including your co workers were crazy to go start a business. They’re all not doing it. Why would you? Why wouldn’t you just be happy with what you have? Right? Just be happy you have a job. And, and I didn’t want that. Oh,

Brad Miller 13:45
that sounds like settling, doesn’t it?

Vincent Pugliese 13:47
It absolutely sounds like that’s what everybody wants you to do. Because I think if you go and do it, it shines a light on them that they didn’t do it.

Brad Miller 13:55
Sure. Sure. And the with the with the risk does come The possibility of failure, but also comes the possibility of success and reward. So, tell me a little bit about some of the processes that you did kind of on the, I want to delve a little bit further with you that’s on this area of this inner work of mindset change that you had and what, what happened to what kind of work did you have to do in this mindset change? I know you said you had to take action immediately. But what kind of inner work did you do? Did you look for books? Did you look for tapes? Did you look for a any kind of spiritual insight? Did you? Where did you go to feed yourself in this area?

Vincent Pugliese 14:42
Yeah, it’s a great question. Because, you know, we were talking earlier about masterminds like that wasn’t around in 2005 the way it is today, there wasn’t the online community that you can just go I want to be a part of a group of people doing what I want. I’m doing what I want to be doing. So we relied on books a lot, you know, money wise it was Dave Ramsey. He’s the one that guided us through. But I mean, mindset wise in terms of business, it was people like Seth Godin. I found his books within two months of doing this, and I just consume them. Dan Miller, just people, people that were just thinking differently about this world differently about what the possibilities were, and how to get over the limiting beliefs that we have. And for me, and I’m not sure if there’s anybody for me, it was very much getting going from being selfish to being generous. Because I went from a phase where not faze but a life where, you know, you got to get what you got to get right. You’ve got to do what’s best for you. Sure. And that’s the way the world works. And then you meet somebody like Seth, where it’s just like, generosity will get everybody with Ben Ziegler. You know, you have anything in life you want. If you just help enough other people get what they want.

Brad Miller 15:54
Sure. And that that message of how you become fed and how you receive Abundance at a generosity is such an anathema to as a lot of the thinking we have, which is geared around lack and needy what you can and it just, you know that consumption type mentality. So they had to break some patterns for you. They’re

Vincent Pugliese 16:14
totally you know, and I came from a doggy dog world of New York, you know, in terms of what you’re shooting, I was a photographer there and it was no, it wasn’t very many people helping each other out. There wasn’t a lot like if you went to be helpful people looked at you with a really kinda like, what do you What’s your angle? Yeah. And so this so this is my mission now is to make the business world a better place.

Brad Miller 16:36
Awesome, awesome. Me too much relationship with how did your wife used to visit two people that I heard you say were supportive of you in this process and your dad and your wife who joined you and your endeavors? Yeah, I’d like to hear a little bit about how those relationships worked, how you worked with those relationships, or any others that came into your life. To help you break through and move forward, because anytime you start something new when you have, you know, all the adversity I had a new baby and all this type of thing as well. You got to have challenges to things, things don’t always go smoothly. How did your relationship with your wife or others come into play and help you get through all this process?

Vincent Pugliese 17:16
It all honestly was a very lonely existence. It was my wife and I, my dad was there at those moments, you know, at those that moment when I was 22, and that moment, I was 32. But we always had a strained relationship. We never were so much alike, that we never got each other. I mean, even to now, it’s not the greatest. It’s just not. But that’s life. It happens with my wife. She’s the greatest because she was the one person that believed in me, and we believed in each other. And that was the key to all this. We’ve run multiple businesses together. We went to college together, and it wouldn’t be this way. Without her she didn’t believe in me. And she didn’t believe in this and she was skeptical in the beginning. She also had An employee mindset. So I was the one pushing, let’s get out of debt. Let’s start a business and she went along with me, because I could be bullheaded. So I’m kind of hard not to go along with something like that, like, we’re going to do this. But she was supportive. And then once she saw that we could actually even the slightest sign that we could actually do that. We were locked in. And that was the relationship that did it.

Brad Miller 18:23
So having a win helped it having some sort of affirmation and when helped you with with her and and with moving forward in that that’s that’s a great thing.

Vincent Pugliese 18:33
Well, of course, because you I showed no sign of being the person that was going to do this. So she wasn’t like, Oh, I just trust you. I know it’s gonna work. She couldn’t.

Brad Miller 18:45
You kind of shocked her did yeah.

Vincent Pugliese 18:48
Yeah, I mean, what when this started working, it just it was a different world like wait a second, I’m in control of this. And I think I’ve always battled that my life because I want to control so I didn’t like school, and I didn’t get it. So I always want wanting to play by my own rules since I was five years old. That’s why school and work for somebody else never worked. I so once I was able to run the show, for lack of a better term, now I can make it’s it’s always worked that way. That’s great. That’s great.

Brad Miller 19:15
Well, it’s a, these are some of the parts of your story. And yet one of the things I’ve found out about you and learned about you is you’ve been able to interpret this transition that you’ve been made in order to speak into the life of other people and you have a book about called freelance to freedom and your and your podcast is the total total life freedom podcast. So you are really focusing on freedom and how you need to make these decisions here. What are some of the does, what do you teach people when people come to you now, you know, you said there was a world out there when you first started in 2005 or so lonely existence that has to be now and I know that you’re a part of being helpful to other people. What are some disciplines that you teach people, what are some processes? What are some options that you’re able to speak into people’s lives? Now that you’re helpful to them to help people who are stuck, for whatever reason, and their life to break out of that and move forward.

Vincent Pugliese 20:13
I bring people honesty. And I bring them questions that other people don’t ask them that are difficult.

Brad Miller 20:22
I made an example what you’re talking about.

Vincent Pugliese 20:25
I think a lot of people aren’t honest with people in these situations. I’m going to write a book, you know, I’m doing this thing, but I’m gonna go write a book about yoga. Yeah, that’s a great idea. You should go do that. And I’m the one that’s like, Are you crazy? Like you’re on this path, and this is working well, and you’re going to divert your attention to something because other people think you should do it. And then they’re like, wait, what do you know, we’ll talk about that. Because truly focusing on what you’re going to do, and eliminating all the other distractions isn’t is so important. And fear stops people from doing that stuff. You’re a failure. So they divert to all these different things because nothing really is going to follow Through, I’m trying my hand in this. So I just challenged people on this stuff and on their limiting beliefs and on what they’re afraid of, to really get to what the answer of what, what it really is that they want, and what it is that they’re really afraid of. And once you break through that, the answers are completely different.

Brad Miller 21:16
And then you can go from there. Yeah. So you’re not afraid to challenge people, our events. That’s my job.

Vincent Pugliese 21:21
That is my job. If I just go along with it, I’m not doing anybody. I’m not doing any of these. I think I am more than happy to lose clients over more than happy.

Brad Miller 21:32
That’s where that little bit that New York edge comes into play here doesn’t that that’s awesome. I love it.

Vincent Pugliese 21:36
Because it’s not about me. It’s about them. And I don’t want to challenge people and we just want to be status quo. That’s not doing it’s not helping anybody. It’s not helping our group, because there’s not growth going on. And it’s not helping them. It’s not even if they’re paying me I don’t feel right. I’d rather you get pissed at me and quit, but make you think and a year. Now you come back and that goes the best thing that happened. Or you go through the growth right now. But one way the other something you need to make progress,

Brad Miller 22:08
whether it’s I find Vance is that a lot of people will get stuck in. I sometimes call it the malaise of mediocrity where people get kind of in this, you know, just going through the motions, they’re going through things. And they don’t think they can break break through that. And they get complacent and almost contented that even though they’re miserable, but they still are in this place of meaning less ness in life. And in order to get the meaningfulness of life, you got to break some patterns, you got to do things dramatically different you know, I’ll give you one example in my life about 1012 years ago, I lost like 100 pounds in order to do that, you know, I’m still got a skinny guy today if I need me. To do that, I had to have some major mind shifts, some major physical health shifts, and some major support system from some other people and that was important thing for me. Give me an example of when you’re speaking as people, you work with mastermind groups now and others Now, I’d like to hear about example of somebody that you’ve had some influence your life who really did make some pretty profound shifts. To me about an example of somebody in your life. Who have you been impactful on

Vincent Pugliese 23:15
all this? Great question. Um, well, we have one guy, Jim Adams. Zach is brilliant guys. 32 years old. He is a he’s at the point where I started writing my book. And he is so close to so many breakthroughs. But he came into the group and we get a lot of there’s like a 10 year plan for his real estate to take him out of his job. And for the first phone call, like I’m like, why 10 years? And that was just something he made up in his head. Like, why can’t you do this in a year. So that was the first call that we had together first or second call. So now a year later, he is this close to going he’s got 20 something real estate properties. He’s got the plan in place. They just had their second baby which is which is them down from quitting. But he is I mean, we have a call and an hour. And I wouldn’t be surprised if any of these weeks he is on his own. Yeah. So it’s pushing and he just said like that push. And there’s another guy named Greg, who we did a we do these one day masterminds, which I love and you know, around the country, a full day eight people just we just dive in. It was guy Greg, and he came to it. And he’s in a full time job he hates, he hates the commute. He does Facebook ads on the side. And he built up his business to where it was 75% of what he needed to live. But he put this higher number of what he thought he needed to make you want an equal a salary, like why do you need to equal your salary to quit? How much do you need to live on? And a little bit more? So literally at the one that he wrote all the numbers out, and he just smacks himself in the face. And we’re like what he goes, the number that I need to live is about 1500 dollars shy of what I’m making in my side business. Wow. And I said to him, I was like so if you can make this much money in the mornings and evenings while working a full time job. commuting, you’re telling me you can’t make 15% more when you put that 15 that 50 hours back into your into your work day. And, and three months ago, he quit his job and he’s like, I will never, ever go now he wants to teach this other people. So that’s what’s so much fun about this.

Brad Miller 25:16
That’s awesome. That’s awesome. So you’re teaching some, you’re actually, you know, crunching some numbers or doing some other things, and giving some people some disciplines to break through to break through. Yeah, yeah, that’s awesome. Tell me a level about any of these. It let’s just say that some of our listeners are our podcasts are looking for that breakthrough now, like you did with Adam and with Greg, what are just a couple of things that they could learn either from your book or for you now. So just was they could do right now to help them move from wherever they’re at to where they want to go.

Vincent Pugliese 25:49
Yeah, I mean, there’s there’s subtle ones, which I truly believe in, which is I’m always striving to be better than yesterday. And that’s a huge thing for me simply because when I don’t think that way, and I think Bank, for instance, oh, I need to have this much money or this much work by this date, that can be really overwhelming to certain personalities, and they shut down. It’s scary. It’s overwhelming. But if you think better than yesterday, I need to reach out and connect with 10 people today. Every day. That’s what I need. And if I do that over a year, all these things happen. I don’t worry about yesterday anymore. It doesn’t matter. That’s past and I don’t worry about tomorrow, you become laser focused on the things that you need to do today. And then that if it’s Darren Hardy, the compound effect, over and over the small things that you don’t see any results for a year to a year and a half, all of a sudden you start exploding. And we use that in our life. Consider everything. What is the hack? The hack is consistency. You know, Seth Godin says he goes, I wrote 10,000 blog posts, none of them went viral. I just wrote 10,000 blog posts in a row. That’s why I do a daily podcast, consistency and growth. The other thing is you need to be able to pinpoint what you want your life to look like and take bold action. To do that, so that you you upset the apple cart, you change your patterns so that you realize the light of the world and and when I did that, yeah, and those are two out to MF

Brad Miller 27:12
There you go. And most changes that happen incrementally does it? You gotta go if you’re gonna change, you gotta do it. Yeah, really go for it. And that that’s great. Well, lots of great tips and lots of great things from your book and, and people can learn from that. And here’s one of the great things to share here today is your books. An audio version is free, isn’t it?

Vincent Pugliese 27:31
Yeah. You know, it was the The advice I got from Seth Godin and john Lee Dumas, who I’m in a mastermind with and was like, why don’t you just record the audio book and give away if you want to get the word out? Just and I was I love it. So I went through the path of painstaking testing, recording it four times to get it right. So listen to my voice for 20 hours. It’s not fun. But we did it. So it’s available for anybody that’s listening. If they want to download it’s totally free. On our website, total total freedom.com slash FQF book ticket. Just download book for free.

Brad Miller 28:00
That’s great. And they can also get other great insights from your daily, your daily podcast, the total life freedom podcast, and you can get some great insights there. So what are you learning for who you learn from these days? What books are you reading? what people are you listening and learning from these days? They’re feeding you now.
