gap between embracing all their passions and creating real profits.
JEFFREY SHAW
He is equal parts creative thinker and successful business owner and
has the advantage of providing inspiration from real life experience
and extensive training.
Jeffrey began hiscareer as a highly-sought after portrait photographer for an exclusive clientele.
Photography was his interest of choice in order to remove himself from the rest of society. He would photograph
on the streets and hiding behind a camera, and of course, there was the
beauty of the darkroom where he could really hide out.
D A R K R O O M
He was always very good at photography. Photography was his choice to be reclusive. If you're a shy person, photography in the olden
days was perfect because there were darkrooms.
He made it through high school by hiding out in the darkroom and skipping every other class, and just excelling
in photography. What happens when you excel at something is you suddenly get attention. Suddenly in high school he started getting all this attention, or attention he was bringing to my high school because I kept winning all these awards, national awards. Kodak picked up some of
his photographs and put me on a national tour, and he was 16 or 17 years old.
His portraits have appeared on The Oprah Show, in “O” magazine, People Magazine, CBS news, and on the cover of New York Family Magazine.
He battled most of his life with severe shyness; the roots of shyness, who
knows? He believes, at some point, things like shyness and other issues at some
point they become just a recurring story, but they're rooted in something.
For him, he was the youngest of three boys. He had very overbearing personality older brothers. They
definitely stole the limelight, if you will. He had some health issues when he was a kid, like at the age of two or three, he had bars on my legs because they were
rather crooked, so they had to be straightened out.
He was the original Forrest Gump. The interesting thing was, and this is
not a unique story, honestly, he meets a lot of creative people, a lot of very successful people, creatively and otherwise, that have gone through a
lot of various shapes of trauma.
For the 20 or 25 years, I guess, 23 years or so, I'm still a professional photographer. However, 50% of my time is split between my role as a photographer and my role as a coach and public speaker. Last seven years or so, I've been a business coach, trained, and a public speaker as well. I have gone through a few transitions career-wise as well.
One of his new dreams is to be able to speak at TEDx.

Well into his photography career he became a trained business coach and public speaker. Jeffrey is also the host of Creative Warriors podcast. His published writings and business eGuides have been cited in trade journals and online sources.

He frequently turns conventional wisdom “upside down” to offer entrepreneurs a way to develop a sustainable business that is both profitable and on purpose.
