This episode is incredibly special to me, as I've been a fan of Tony Hoffer's work and business style since before I was even a photographer. Between is love of people and working on his photography craft, he's become the most sought after photographer I know. He's been known to get up to 1,400 inquiries in 1 year!
How did Tony get that many inquiries? Was it advertising, SEO, social media or something else?
In this episode, I talk to Tony candidly about where he started, where he is, and where his company Hoffer Photography is headed. Few people work harder than Tony & Amy while building their business, and this episode is good for anyone looking to attract more clients.

Andy Barron is a music & celebrity photographer. His website is littered with images from artists like U2, Alabama Shakes, Foster the People, Kendrick Lamar, The Civil Wars and more. He's toured with many bands like Switchfoot, Foster the People, and is currently on tour with the wonderful Chris Stapleton.
Even being around big name bands, Andy's a humble and laid back guy who's first goal is never just images of an artist. His first goal is to love people first and form relationships. This not only makes him a more enjoyable member of projects and tour, but also will create better images in the long run as artist are more comfortable with him knowing he's a friend, rather than only a photographer.

Ever wanted to get into boudoir photography but don't know where or how to start? How do you earn trust with clients?
How do you show your work?
My good friend Keith Lee has been doing boudoir for years alongside his amazing wife Ali Lee. Together they create amazing images, trust with their clients, and long lasting relationships.
In this episode, as someone who's never shot boudoir, I ask Keith Lee both the business questions, and the awkward ones! How does he approach boudoir as a man, where as the industry is primarily women? What does the process look like for building new clientele and ultimately, how does he stay creatively satisified?
If you're curious about starting your own boudoir photography business, or just want to hear some of the hilarious and thoughtful stuff Keith has to share, take a listen to episode 009!

Happy New Year! In our last episode we talked about accomplishing huge goals, one bite at a time. I thought in the spirit of transparency and to help those still looking for ideas or maybe who got their goals started late, that I should share some of my personal goals and the system I use to create those goals.
I believe everyone should have at least one big scary goal. If it doesn't scare you, it's not worth pursuing!
If you want to know the quick trick to making sure your goals are a good mix of scary yet achievable, especially through the S.M.A.R.T method, take a listen to this episode!
Also, let me know what you think of my goals and share some of yours!
