Sheley is incredibly honored to have a mentor, James Patrick, join her for an in-depth conversation focused on solving client problems before they even hire you. James is an internationally published photographer with more than 600 magazine covers to his credit. He is a business coach, a strategist, a media specialist, host of the Beyond the Image podcast, and publisher of ICONFIT magazine.

James is a high achiever who will do what it takes to get results, and listeners will absolutely benefit from the time invested in this conversation. He shares his views on failure and how it does not have to be an ending, how to solve your client’s problems before they even hire you, and how to leverage media by being in front of your client where they already are.

James also provides listeners with some useful tips, including advice on the choice between staying in your corporate job or starting your own business. Sheley firmly believes that sharing learned wisdom through experiences is the most efficient way to impact the lives of others and James does this and so much more.
