EP 111:  If you're getting into wedding photography, doing a styled shoot may be very beneficial for networking with vendors and developing your own portfolio.  As someone who hasn't shot a styled wedding shoot before, I went straight to a qualified source and asked long-time wedding photographer, Phylicia Willis, what the best actionable steps are to getting your first styled shoot off the ground.

EP 110:  What is brand strategy?  How do you craft it?  And most importantly, how do we ensure our ideal clients are experiencing our brand in a consistent fashion that aligns with our vision?  I'm here at WPPI23 in Las Vegas, coming off a grueling 4 days of networking and learning from a diverse group of creative professionals.  Today I got a few short minutes with Kaleigh Weise, who is an action-oriented problem solver, creator, coach, entrepreneur, and brand strategist educator.  We chat very quickly about what brand strategy is, and the most common hurdles creatives will face in their own brand strategy journey.

EP 109:  Inflation is a real pain in the ass, but ultimately speaking, it has a relatively small impact when compared to another inflation that many of us are guilty of exercising; lifestyle inflation.  While inflation may increase the price of milk and eggs by a few dollars, lifestyle inflation may cost us thousands.  In this episode, I will discuss why we invite lifestyle inflation into our lives so willingly, and how to attack it if it is keeping us from our goals.

EP 108:  I recently came across a statement from another creative who said "If you are mentally weak, you should not freelance".   So in today's episode, I'll unpack my thoughts on this statement and respond with why I think the so-called "mentally weak" actually should freelance despite this common narrative.

EP 107:  You know, the sneaky thing about getting caught up in busy work, is that it feels so productive because you are, in fact, tackling something important in your business.  This task needs to get done.  And the list never seems to end with busy work.  If it's not catching up on emails, it's checking up on invoices or creating social content or any number of things that may not actually move the needle in our business.  In this episode, I discuss how busy work disguises itself as a proactive habit, even though it likely shares more common traits with reactive practices.
