Expert Edge Podcast

From $75 Photo Sessions to a Million Dollar Coaching Empire w/ Sarah Petty


Listen Later

What if scaling your business had less to do with your pricing… and more to do with your positioning?

In this episode of the Expert Edge, Colin sits down with Sarah Petty—founder of the Photography Business Institute and creator of a wildly successful photography coaching program—to unpack how she went from charging $75 per session to building a multi-million dollar boutique coaching business with a 77% renewal rate.

You'll discover:

  • Why niching down is the fastest path to scaling up (even in a saturated market)

  • How Sarah turned a simple coaching program into a full-blown CULTure—with pins, swag, and sky-high retention.

  • The belief that nearly cost her everything—and how she reframed it to unlock massive growth.

This is the perfect episode for coaches and course creators who feel stuck, stretched thin, or afraid to charge what they're worth. Sarah's story is proof that it's possible to scale with simplicity, soul, and style.
