We’re live at 7:00 PM CT with a high-signal convo for creators and the curious. Special guest AugustHeat joins Drew & Erika to unpack her first professional shoots, how sets actually run, and the simple systems that make content better (and sell more) without burning out.

What we’ll cover

Pro shoot 101: booking, testing/paperwork, choosing partners, day-of workflow

Amateur → Pro: what to keep, what to level up, advocating for yourself on set

Planning content that sells: PPV vs. free, trends that consistently perform, handling flops

Collabs: green flags, red flags, and when to pass

Long-term growth: niche, reputation, avoiding burnout

Lifestyle Lingo: “Pro Shoot” (clear, practical checklist)

Tip of the Week: Choose your lane—on your terms

💬 Join the chat: Drop your weekly win and any creator questions for August—we’ll pull some live.
