It is no secret that operating as a team is not super common once you reach a certain level in the industry. But can it be done when executed correctly? Today’s guest Abby Jiu is showing us that it absolutely can!

Abby of Abby Jiu excels as the leader of a dynamic team of four photographers. Together, the all-women lead team specializes in luxury weddings, creating visual masterpieces that have earned recognition in prestigious publications like Over the Moon and Brides.

And today Abby is walking us through how she built her team, how they are able to operate at such a high level, and some do’s (and don’ts) for those looking to do the same in their own business.

Risk taking is a muscle. You can flex it, you can get better at it, but that doesn't make it any less scary. Today's guest Chris Jespersen is proof of that. Chris's company, Storybox Cinema, is at the top of almost every "best of" list and how did he get there? By taking risks. 

Chris discusses how taking calculated risks in his career has gotten him to where he is today. And how as he rose in the industry, those risks never got less scary. But he knows by taking the risks everyone else is too scared to take, he is automatically putting himself in the front of the pack. So it is time to get comfortable with being uncomfortable and take those risks!

What do you do when you have all these goals and dreams for your business but feel limited by your local market? Do you choose to accept those pre convinced notions that there may not be space for "luxury weddings" or do you push those boundaries and make it happen?

We started the conversation last week about bringing luxury to your local market and this week we are continuing it with Kate Turner of Kate + Co. Kate not only shares her story of how she got into wedding and design but also how she helped bring the level of weddings she wanted to be producing to her local market.

Have you ever thought that you can’t charge luxury prices because there is no luxury market in your area? First of all, you are not alone in thinking this. But second of all, you might be wrong. And today’s guest proves that. 
Mike Cassimatis is sharing his story about how he helped bring luxury to St Louis and how he has gone from charing 1500 to 18k, all in his local market. He has mastered the practice of asking himself “Is this thought reality or is it mindset?” which has helped him pave the way for other vendors in his area to start charging what they are worth.
