This week, we're diving deep into the business of getting paid—because creating great work is only half the battle. From unpaid invoices to awkward follow-ups, Kira and Mary share real (and super frustrating) stories about chasing down payments and the systems they've put in place to avoid it in the future. Whether you're dealing with slow-paying clients or setting up workflows that protect your biz, this one’s packed with hard-earned wisdom for any photographer or creative entrepreneur.

We’re also talking automation, late fees, corporate vs. small biz red flags, and even dipping a toe into insurance and income protection for when life throws a curveball (or a broken foot).

Listen now and learn from our mistakes—so you don’t have to make them yourself!
