On today's show, we're going to help Julie choose a niche, and find her customer avatar. Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast, where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. Join us, each week, as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside-down by selling stuff online. Are you ready for something different? All right, let's get started. JOCELYN: Hey guys, welcome back to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast. Today we are excited to have Julie Renner on our Flipped podcast. This is where we give our audience members an opportunity to come on, and have a free consulting call, and we answer their questions about moving to the next level in their online business. Welcome Julie, we are really glad to have you today. JULIE: Thanks so much, glad to be here. SHANE: Julie, your website is Julierennerphotography.com and we just wanted you, before we get started, to tell everyone in the audience about your business, and maybe a little bit about why you want to flip your life, why do you want to dive straight into online business and make something out of that. JULIE: Okay, well, thanks for having me; my business is called Julie Renner Photography and I have been a family photographer for approximately eight to ten years. I primarily focus on photographing families, kids, on vacation and I do that in the evenings and on the weekends when families are available. In addition to that, my husband's job has moved us all around the country and we've moved five times in different states everywhere. So, I've had to sort of restart my business each time and I have done that through social media.

Hosted by Shane Sams, the Flipped Lifestyle™ Podcast is a conversation about building a business that actually fits around your life, rather than the other way around. It’s born from the real-world experience of Shane and his wife Jocelyn, a family who created a million-dollar income entirely online. They focus on the practical mechanics of selling digital products and running membership sites-essentially, creating valuable information and community that people are willing to pay for. This isn't abstract theory; each episode digs into the systems, mindsets, and sometimes surprising tactics that worked for them as they built a location-independent career. You’ll hear candid discussions on the challenges of shifting from a traditional job to a self-directed online venture, managing family dynamics alongside business growth, and the ongoing work of sustaining success. The aim is to provide actionable insights for anyone feeling stuck in a conventional routine and dreaming of a "flipped" reality where work supports life on their own terms. Tune in for a straightforward, often humorous look at the entrepreneurial journey from a couple who is still actively living it, sharing their lessons so you can chart your own course.
