There is something to be said for staying in your lane and staying true to yourself as an artist instead of chasing the trends. But on the flip side, sometimes that attitude is not always the right answer. Today's guest Erich McVey is opening up about when he realized sometimes it is ok to try things you aren't super comfortable with. 

You can try and emulate others but when it comes down to it, it is better to be yourself than a watered down version of someone else. But how do achieve that while also making sure you aren't falling behind? Today's episode might just tell you exactly how to do that!

When you have been in this industry long enough you learn that it is ever evolving. But how do you evolve with it while also staying authentic to yourself? Lauren Fair is on the podcast today answering that very question. And the answer? Micro shifts.

It's all about being intentional with your micro shifts as you are making changes in your business and choosing to be authentic to who you are as a creative instead of just going with the trends. Lauren has mastered this concept and we are so excited to share her insight with you today!

Don’t be afraid to explore other passions. Sometimes when you get in this business you feel like you are locked in to the goals and dreams you set for yourself when you started. But that is simply not the case. Todays guest, Magi Fisher, a photographer and lawyer, experienced that first hand.

You are allowed to set new goals and explore new passions when your current ones are not completely filling your cup. You are allowed to do more than one thing. There are so many interesting people out there who have carved out ways to make money and provide for themselves and their families by doing things they love. Don't play it safe. That could be you.

Full transparency- we truly have no idea what we are talking about on the podcast today. We have no idea what we are going to say or which roads we are going to be lead down. All we know is we are overly caffeinated and we are loving this sip n tell series!

Part of the beauty of having your own business is you can make decisions that work for you. You're the one who measures your success. And todays guest, Cat Galletti, has a thing or two to say about that concept.

We chose this journey because we can make our own rules. Of course there are industry standards we have to abide by here and there, but when it comes down to it, we are in the drivers seat of our business.. We can guide our business journey wherever we want it to go. Your business is meant to work for you not the other way around.

We are winding down our wedding season and heading straight into engagement season! Weddings are being planned, planners are reaching out, calendars are being filled and because of that, the biggest thing we should all have on our minds, is how can we best prepare for the season ahead. If you don’t want 2025 to look the same as 2024 you need to take absolute control over the things in YOUR control. 

On today’s podcast we are walking through what we are doing to prepare for booking seasoning in hopes to remind you to do the same! Did we miss anything? What are you doing to prepare for the year ahead? We would love to hear!

Wow is it really November already? With fall wedding season coming to a close, we thought this would be the perfect time to reflect on how are we doing. When we are "go go go" it can be easy for us to enter into survival mode and put certain things, like our own health, on the back burner. 

And whether that health is mental, physical, or emotional, it is important to remember that we can't see progress in other areas of our life if we aren't taking care of ourselves. On today's podcast we are sharing why health truly is wealth as just a little reminder to please take care of yourself!

Today we are sip and telling about unhappy clients. One of our main goals in business is keeping our clients happy, which by the way is a lot more than just creating a film they will love. And while we are sharing our best practices on making sure our clients are happy from pre wedding to post wedding, we are also talking about what happens when we do get that dreaded unhappy client.

Yes it is frustrating and can bruise our ego a little but you know what? It happens. It is a normal part of the process. But it's one that you can take as a learning opportunity to educate yourself moving forward. 

Can we tell you a little secret though? You will have less and less unhappy clients as you move into the luxury market. So if you are feeling frustrated with unhappy clients who don’t quite trust you and your process you are in the right place!
