He said when they see who they truly are and how they're captured, they leave a completely different woman. And there's not enough words, he said, to encapsulate the power in that as a photographer.

Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.

Welcome back to the Be It Till You See It interview recap where my co-host in life, Brad, and I are going to dig into the powerful convo I have with another Brad. Brad Walsh.

Brad Crowell 0:55

Another Brad.

Lesley Logan 0:55

In our last episode. If you haven't yet listened to that interview, then actually listen to this one. You should go back and listen that one. It's pretty good. I liked it.

Brad Crowell 1:05

That's a great interview. It was, I'm not gonna lie you, you spoke my thoughts out loud.

Lesley Logan 1:10

I did?

Brad Crowell 1:11

Yes. Like.

Lesley Logan 1:12

Did I say that I have to say Brad's thoughts?

Brad Crowell 1:14

No, but two. There's another comment I can't remember. It'll come back to me. But you know when, when I heard you introduce Brad Walsh as someone who is entirely devoted to platforming and empowering women, I was like, a man is doing that? Okay, okay. I was like, I guess, I guess I'm I didn't even know. I was dubious and a little curious and then encouraged and excited at by the end. So, yes, it's great.

Lesley Logan 1:45

Turns out you can be really successful if you platform women. Turns out.

Brad Crowell 1:50

How about that?

Lesley Logan 1:51

Yeah, it turns out there's, there's things like, there's like, good things that happen when you do that.

Brad Crowell 1:55

You did mention that you had similar thoughts to him, and I was laughing, because I was like, okay, I'm not alone.

Lesley Logan 1:59

Yeah. I'm intrigued. Well, we'll get into that in just a second. But first today is February 26th 2026 and it's Black Lives Matter Day. Black Lives Matter Day is celebrated annually on February 26th in remembrance of Trayvon Martin, an African American teen who was killed by a white American out of hatred. The acquittal of the killer, George Zimmerman, from the murder charge and is roaming free, caused a wave of widespread anger, which led to nationwide campaigns centered around fairness and justice for black people. Black Lives Matter is a chant against systemic racial discrimination which has shaped and increased the risk of violence towards black people. Join in the movement to end discrimination, declare equality for all.
