We are honored to have Anastasia Chomlack on as our guest speaker. We heard about Anastasia from her Gratitude Sessions, where she started a movement of photographers offering free sessions to essential workers during COVID-19. We talk about how she set this up where all parties benefited and people felt appreciated.

Anastasia also is very passionate about creating a sustainable, inclusive, and humane brand. She is a branding photographer and also runs a wedding business with associates called The Whistler Wedding Collective!

We talk humanity, personal journeys, branding, running a business with associates, and gratitude.
