    Vendor Network Marketing on the Tog Republic Podcast | ep267

    As photographers we work with many vendors, especially if you're a wedding photographer. Building and nurturing your relationships with those vendors can be a lasting ticket to amazing photo days, happy clients, and thriving businesses. Back in 2021 I was the guest on Carolina Guzik's podcast, the Tog Republic. We talk about building those connections with vendors, how to nurture them, and how vendor marketing might just be what your business needs to thrive. ---- Check out The Tog Republic wherever you get your podcasts thetogrepublic.com instagram.com/thetogrepublic ---- Follow the show Website: https://podcast.allheartphoto.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/witt.pod YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wisdominthetangents

    Investments, Retirement, and Credit Cards - Money Management part 4 - Ep 266

    As solo-prenuers we often don't have investment or retirement plans. This episode I share some personal stories of how I've mismanaged money, and how you can avoid those mistakes. We also get in to setting up your retirement and investment accounts, and making sure they are investing your money. PSA 401(k)s and IRAs don't invest for you! And we dive into credit cards. Are they evil? Can they actually help your credit score? Note: I'm not a financial expert, but I have learned from the best. After this episodes you should definitely check out Tori Dunlap - The Financial Feminist, and Katie Gatti Tassin with the Money with Katie Show. Links below.
