670: Ryan Erickson – $315K from Mobile Pet Photography, Instagram Ads and Market Events

Ryan Erickson is back on the podcast after first appearing in episode 587, and a lot has changed. His mobile pet photography business in Colorado grew by 50% last year, hitting $315K in revenue — with much of that growth coming from 42 in-person market events, Instagram ads, and same-day in-person sales from inside his custom-built photography trailer. But this conversation isn’t just about growth. Ryan opens up about what it really takes to keep pushing a business forward, where burnout started to creep in, why he’s looking at outsourcing more of the event work, and how he’s thinking differently now about freedom, sustainability, savings, and what the next phase of the business should look like. For photographers chasing more leads, better clients, higher sales, or a business that doesn’t wear them down in the process, this is a really honest and practical conversation.
