Meet Fred Delgadillo

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Fred Delgadillo. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Fred , we’re so excited for our community to get to know you and learn from your journey and the wisdom you’ve acquired over time. Let’s kick things off with a discussion on self-confidence and self-esteem. How did you develop yours?
Since childhood, I have sought role models who could fill the void left by an absent paternal figure. Musicians, friends, and others whom I admired often held the potential to shape my perception of self. However, None could come close to the ideal I needed. Therefore, I realized that I needed to become my own role model. This profound realization enabled me to develop a profound sense of self-reliance and self-validation. By setting my own standards and striving for personal contentment, I discovered the intrinsic ability to create happiness from within.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
One of the most exciting aspects my photographic journey is the relentless pursuit of new challenges and growth. Never one to settle within familiar territory, they constantly push their creative boundaries, seeking fresh perspectives and experimenting with new techniques. By venturing outside my comfort zone, i have discovered that some of the most remarkable and inspiring images are born from embracing the unknown. This fearless approach to photography allows me to continually evolve as an artist and deliver extraordinary visuals that captivate audiences. In addition to my photographic endeavors, I have enthusiastically committed my full-time attention to my YouTube channel called (freddydiz) as part of my embracing of the digital world.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
Three qualities stand out as essential instruments in my drive for professional success: honing my skills, following my goals fearlessly in the face of doubt, and maintaining unbending determination. My advise to young professionals is straightforward: never give up on your dreams, no matter what size they may be or the difficulties you may encounter financially. Everyone can find a lot of information and tools on the internet; invest time in honing your abilities. Maintain a regular practice schedule to hone your skills and establish your individual artistic voice. Defy social norms and embrace your passions while pursuing your goals with tenacity. Keep in mind that challenges may emerge, but you can overcome them by working hard consistently, being resilient, and having unshakeable confidence in yourself. Keep moving forward, take opportunities for growth, and pursue excellence in your profession.

Alright so to wrap up, who deserves credit for helping you overcome challenges or build some of the essential skills you’ve needed?
The most influential and supportive person in my life, without a doubt, is my wife/partner. Her unwavering support and encouragement have been invaluable in my pursuit of career goals and personal growth.
