Welcome to the Heart and Hustle Podcast with Evie Rupp and Lindsey Roman – two photographers turned entrepreneurs, and founders of The Heart University.
If you’re a creative entrepreneur or a motivated dreamer wanting to make the most of your life – this podcast is for you!
In this episode, Evie and Lindsey dive into who they are, their story, the heart behind this podcast and The Heart University so you know who the heck you are listening to!
Evie picked up photography in high school, but it was a side hobby rather than her main pursuit. At the time, she was pursuing government and politics. Evie went to a ministry school in California for what she thought would be her stepping stone into the political world. Once moving back home to Ohio she instantly knew she wasn’t supposed to go into politics. With five years of photography under her belt and a few gigs lined up, her photography career took off. Within the course of about 9 months she went from just a couple of weddings to full time with 30 weddings and 40 couple sessions booked. As the questions flooded in of how she went from 0 to 60 so fast, her passion for education was ignited. She was confident in her tools and strategies that led her to success and her passion began to pivot into business education.
Lindsey dreamed of being an actress and making it big time in LA. In both high school and college, she was a self proclaimed theater nerd and even double majored in theater and film. After graduation, she knew she wasn’t quite ready for LA and instead stayed home and interned at her church. This year was the perfect opportunity for growth and it was then that she picked back up her camera. After spending the year focused on learning her camera and practicing shooting at every opportunity, it started to slowly transition into a business. She quickly learned that couples and weddings were her passion, specifically adventurous love. To pursue this, she travelled and started to dip her toes in the destination world. Shortly thereafter, her husband got stationed in Hawaii and they made the move to the island. Hawaii was the perfect combination of adventure, ocean, and the mountains and because of this her business blew up! Once the questions started rolling in about her business it was clear that pursuing business education was on the horizon.
No one quite remembers who started following who at first, but somehow they were connected. After a few years of connection over social media, hipster latte art photos, and follow Fridays they ended up both being in Northern California at the same time and decided to meet up. They met in Mendocino, CA to exchange photoshoots and finally meet in person! Over coffee, Lindsay said, “We will be friends until we are old and grey.” If you’d like the full in depth story of how Lindsey and Evie met then head on over to THIS blog post right here where we tell the FULL story!
Both Evie and Lindsey received more and more questions about their success and growth in their businesses and were able to give answers for each question. God dropped a dream in Evie’s heart that she should do a workshop. The minute the idea popped into her head, Evie knew that she wouldn’t start a workshop with anyone other than Lindsey. After a quick Facetime and a little convincing, Lindsey was on board. For Lindsey, this ignited a dream that she didn’t even know existed.
Evie booked a flight to Hawaii and they spent the week dreaming and planning the workshop. After the launch, to their surprise, it sold out in seven hours.
With such a huge demand, and waitlist of over 1000 people, Lindsey and Evie did not want to sacrifice the size of this workshop. In order to meet the demand that was consistently growing, they began brainstorming what soon would become The Heart University – the online course. Throughout 2018 they spent the year pulling together content, outlines, pdfs, and creating all 25 episodes.
The foundation behind everything Lindsey and Evie create including The Heart Workshops , The Heart University online course, and The Heart and Hustle podcast is that they believe that you must get down to the heart of your business, yourself, and your relationships. Lindsey and Evie are excited to give free information and education on a new platform – this podcast.
So how did the name Heart & Hustle come to be? People have abused the concept of hustling to mean overworking yourself in an unhealthy way. Lindsey and Evie wanted to use the name in this podcast to bring it back in a healthy balanced way. Both firmly believe that if your heart is in a healthy and secure place mentally, spiritually, and emotionally then your hustle is going to be in a healthy place as well.
Evie and Lindsey want to pour out education and inspiration for both business and life. Each episode is for anyone who is wanting to uplevel their life and stop living on the sidelines waiting. They will be chatting about everything from marketing, social media, and branding to meal planning, time management, and relationships.
So if you’re ready to step up to the plate and pursue your God-given potential, you’re in the right place.
