Give me a space and place to talk about this stuff, and I’m there, :)

 

I met Ande through a mutual connection on Instagram, and the moment we started chatting through direct messenger, I knew her magic resonated with my magic, :)

After a few back n forths through messenger, and a healthy, mutual appreciation for the stories we shared with our audiences online, we decided to actually record these thoughts for her show, The Startup Life LIVE.

During my conversation with Ande, we talked about a variety of topics including:

  • How I started my branded lifestyle portrait photography business

  • Defining the concept of persuasive visual storytelling

  • The anxiety of going from payroll to business owner

  • How Covid-19 affected my business

  • How an artist like me built the business I have
