Focused Podcast

Everyone's talking about it...Movie Pass! Is it worth it? How does it work? Who would benefit from it? How in the world can their business model work? 

We get into all of that in today's episode! 

Enneagram? What the heck is that? Lauren Simmons is chatting with us today to talk all about what it is and why we as business owners should even want to know what it is! 

Personality profiles and tests are popular for good reason. A lot of the time they are pretty spot on and help us to understand more about ourselves and the people we spend a lot of time with. We can improve relationships in all aspects of our lives if we take the time to understand some of the reasons behind why we do what we do, why we think the way we think and how we relate to others. 

This can be especially powerful when you run your own business! Take a listen and then go take the free test online to get an idea of what your enneagram number is!

Drones. Let's talk about them! And specifically if photographers should incorporate drones into their service on a wedding day. They do more than just take videos. You can take some really unique and different photos with a drone which can help make your client experience outstanding and differentiate you amongst other photographers. 

Today we are talking with Justin Gibby from Gibby Visuals all about drones and where to get started. It may sound super techy but it's actually a really fun and helpful conversation and both Paul and I learned a TON from chatting with him!
