Shareable Quotes"The last few years, I really wanted to find a way to bridge that gap between creative and business, and so Fusion Creative was born, and we are a brand amplification agency.""I own Fusion Photography, which is a traditional photography studio...but my real passion is in business. That's something I really love. I've owned it. I've launched a few other businesses and then sold them, so that's my bread and butter.""I've been doing a lot of dating app photos, which has been so fun. It's been really fun. But it's awkward for people. Like that's their language. They're awkward and I'm like 'don't worry, it's gonna be fun', you know."Connect with DeevoWebsite: https://fusioncreativebranding.com/

They don't even need to anymore because they've gotten their repeat clients, so they're also not on Facebook groups. So one of the things is really to sort of open up where you're looking.""You don't have to have being in a metropolitan area to actually make money, and so likely, I just think really framing it of like there are a lot of people and there is a photographer for everyone. There's not ever gonna be an oversupply of photographers." Connect with GUESTWebsite: https://www.picsello.com
