His health battle nearly killed him. He's now a 6-Fig Photographer.
About this episode
Eric Hillestad shares his journey of overcoming a life-threatening health crisis and rebuilding his photography business.
What do you do when a health crisis takes over your business and more importantly - nearly your whole life? Eric Hillestad was 25 years old when his lungs began filling with blood. Doctors eventually placed him on ECMO — the most advanced life support available. Many people don’t survive it. Eric did. After weeks in the hospital, he had to relearn how to walk, breathe, and speak. He missed months of his newborn daughter’s life. Doctors told his family to prepare for the worst. But Eric’s story didn’t end there. Today he’s a wedding photographer, a father, and a Business Blueprint student who rebuilt his life — and his business — from the ground up. In this episode we talk about: • surviving a near-death medical crisis • rebuilding life and work after trauma • faith in the middle of fear • why his photography now carries a completely different meaning • and how he turned a struggling business into something sustainable for his family Eric’s story is raw, powerful, and deeply faith-filled. You’re not going to forget this one. ⭐️Nathan’s Signature Coaching Program: THE BUSINESS BLUEPRINT ⭐️ Questions about the Business Blueprint? Email…
