Finding Your Normal is a conversation forward and happy accident, tangent embracing podcast hosted by photographer, writer, and know-nothing Adam Brophy that aims to flush out what we think of as normal and begin to understand that we are where we need to be as we need to be and that in the end there is no right there is only different.

    Episode 4: McKenzie Ring

    This episode is a BANGER folks! I got to sit down with my friend McKenzie Ring (lovingly referred to as Mac in our circle) who is amongst many things a great mom, creative and successful photographer, an unofficial Kristen Wiig impersonator, and the Director of Marketing and Communications for a non-profit habilitative reentry program called Rise. We dig into a myriad of topics and enjoy a few rabbit holes, but we touch on parenting, relationships, what burning down your life during a pandemic can look like, finding passion in your work, the strength of sharing your belief in others, and even the pros and cons of the ever-loved hand signal - the thumbs up. If you'd like to learn more about some of what we talk about in this episode whether that's to find out more on what Rise is and what they do or to see some of Mac's personal photography work, I have those links listed below for you.

    Episode 3: Jason Domingues

    In this episode we welcome Jason Domingues, another very good friend of mine. He's a photographer, enterpreneur, father, husband, cat and dog dad (despite the cat bit, I love him anyways), a Kansas Citian via Rhode Island, and my man loves Facetiming over phone calls. We get into a huge array of topics and enjoy several long tangents, but we talk about The Legado Project (Jason's new project that takes on the documentation of family through audio recording and photos - but that's just what it is, we dive into what the meaning of it all is), Jason shares on his 20+ years in wedding photography, we talk about parenting and how things have changed since our parents raised us, we talk about the loss of Jasos's mother, and we talk about caring for parents who are still with us. Warning: we do not talk about suicide for a few minutes, so if you may be triggered or upset by this topic is may be best to skip right over it (it occurs at 58:30 and runs through 61:00).

    Episode 2: Parker Pfister

    Parker Pfister is a renowned photographer, a father, a great cook, a damn good fly fisherman, son of a genius, grandson of an inventor, a so-so Fortnite player, a storyteller like you've never met, and since 2015 a damn good friend of mine. If you ever have a conversation with me you will know quickly how tangential I can be. I don't know if it's an ADD thing or what it is, but it can be both the quick start to a verbal labyrinth or magic rabbit hole leading to some solid depth. And this interview goes a little in both directions. In this episode we get into Rick Rubin's The Creative Act: A Way of Being and we jump off from there into authenticity, parenting, partner communication, the importance of spicing things up when it comes to creativity, taking breaks from the work you are in, and we talk about Parker's upcoming and final workshops.

    Episode 1: Robert J Hill

    This episode is like the framed dollar bill of any business. I can't believe we are finally here. But enough about my excitement. Robert J Hill is a photographer, a business and authenticity coach, a brand alchemist, a van living (though I hear that is coming to a close here shortly), a PCT Trail finisher, a cat dad, a husband, long beard growing, meditator, and damn good friend. In this episode we really dig in on Robert's PCT completion (Pacific Coast Trail - stretches from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon, and Washington). We talk about what it took to get it done, what struggles he endured during the 5+ month long hike, how reintegration back into work and life has been, and what's coming up next. To learn more about Robert and his work including coaching, authenticist courses, or to join his Mastermind community to level up your business check out his website:  https://robertjhill.com/ And you can also follow him on Instagram for his travels, thoughts, and killer photography work - might even catch him on another massive hike is the mood strikes him: https://www.instagram.com/robertjhill/ Have I mentioned how excited am I to finally be sharing this? Scared to death, but still excited.

    Episode 0 // The Preview

    What is Finding Your Normal all about? Where did it come from? Who is Adam Brophy? What am I signing on for if I sit down to listen to this? These are all great questions, and in this short prelude/preview I try to answer most of those questions, and if I leave any of them out, well...I am sure we will cover it as we go. Because that's what I have to do. I have to put this out there.  This Idea for this podcast started in 2018. But I have sat on it. I have listened to more podcasts in that time than I will likely ever record myself. Taking notes. Feeling stuck. Moments of inspiration were followed by droughts of energy which were really wrapped up in fear. Wash, rinse, repeat. I wanted this to be perfect. It won't be. Hopefully, you're good with that. I'm finding a way to be okay with that. But what I am aiming to do here is what I have done a thousand times with friends and clients. Start a conversation. Remain curious. Find opportunities to connect on level ground and from there begin to dig deeper. And in that digging get to the bottom of this, which is that we are all more alike than we are different. That we are all struggling in whatever ways we are. And that there is no right or wrong in any of this process called life, there is simply different.
