Stephanie Iannacchino grew up dreaming about photography while being inspired by her entrepreneurial parents. Naturally, the pressures of societal success measurements drew her into the corporate world before deciding to go all-in on her fears.

While hearing about Stephanie's journey, we discuss the fear of failure and how it manifests into ignorance of the childhood self. She reflects on where her artistry was truly born and how to keep it alive with a uniquely wonderful tradition. But whether it's tear-inducing experiences while travelling the world or capturing the "in-between moments" of people's lives, Stephanie admits that the battle of authenticity is a never-ending one.

Going "all-in" on one's dreams and the realities behind it, what authenticity means for art and for life, the interconnectedness of our world, and so much more. Stephanie's flair and energy inspired me, and I hope it does for you as well.
