Welcome to February and this month's theme is MARKETING.  Are you ready to make a buck after spending so much on equipment?  Join the twins for an hour-long chat with Jamie Cobb, owner/photographer of Photoville, inside her studio in Arcadia, OK.

She has been called so many great titles, but you will remember Jamie as "the hustler".  Not in a derogatory manner in any way, but more of a term of admiration and maybe a little jealousy.  After spending a few minutes with her, you will be tired of hearing about the daily routine and exhausted knowing Jamie runs a high octane, multi-faceted business focused on client experience 24/7.  She doesn't stop.

Jamie gets candid about the lack of business skills of most photographers and discusses the dead-end approach of "sit and wait for the call" that has many shooters scrambling for a part-time job.

Buckle up for the episode you will need to listen three to 3 times to get all the gems Jamie will be laying down.  We bet you will want more Jamie Joe time so check out Bedford Camera PhotoCon 2020 line up for her class "The Hustle".

Our listeners are in for awakening with this week's special guest, the legendary Olympus Visionary Joe Edelman.

We continue this month's theme of productivity and focus for 2020 and Joe NEVER disappoints with his candor, information and the ability to push anyone out of their comfort zone.  Truly an inspirational educator with a sharp tongue backed up with experience and practicality.

The twins get schooled on "simplify your process to be productive", Joe's new mantra for the upcoming yearly focus.  So examine your processes and see if you are spending too much time planning and not enough energy doing.  Joe created a mission statement to use as a guide, ensuring his energy is focus on those things that matter personally.

There are no short-cuts in photography and you MUST do the work to get better at the craft.  He also mentioned doing less on social media gained him more followers and the best interaction with people.  Isn't that what we really want - to connect with other humans?  Trust me, Joe connects!

Our favorite insight is "Break Shit and Move On" philosophy Joe practices and advocates to photographers.  Of course, he is widely known for the "Don't Be Afraid to Suck" method to learn and progress in your craft.  Dare we say even in life?

Did you know that Evernote had templates?  We didn't but we are looking into those right away for upcoming projects.

If you think Joe should share his Evernote tips and tricks, comment on this episode's discussion post on FotoFacts Podcast Facebook Page and tag Joe.  We would love to hear how you use Evernote!

Do you know Joe?  Follow him using the links below.  If you find and follow him on TikTok, you will see nothing!  Be sure to use these to get the great information you deserve.
