In this episode of the Shifting Focus Podcast, John Bunn sits down with Staci Brucks, a wedding photographer who grew her Instagram following to over 110,000 by doing something most people avoid.
She stopped overthinking and started taking action.
Instead of waiting for perfect posts, perfect captions, or perfect timing, Staci focused on consistency, alignment, and showing up as herself online. That single shift led to real momentum, brand deals, and sustainable growth without chasing trends or algorithms.
• Why overthinking stalls growth
• The difference between strategy and momentum
• How consistency builds trust faster than perfection
• Posting before you feel ready
• Building relationships that create referrals
• Using Instagram as a business tool, not a stress machine
• Balancing creativity with professionalism
• Creating efficient workflows
• Working smarter with tools and systems
• Staying aligned while you grow
