In this episode of the Photo Business Help podcast, I talk with Shaily Hakimian about social media and how to leverage it for your photography business!
About Shaily:
Shaily started doing social media for her hobby community in high school… ON MYSPACE. She didn't realize what she did was doing social media until after college when she saw a question on a job application asking if she had ever managed an online community, and she realized there was something there.
She graduated from Indiana University with a degree and certification in elementary education K-6, and she now uses those mad teaching skills to lead workshops, work with business owners 1-on-1 training them on social media, and has coached 200+ B2B consultants on how to use LinkedIn to grow their business. She guides business on how to stay top of mind with their community and referral network using social media. I hold them accountable and boost their confidence in themselves, what they have to offer, and their own social media abilities. She loves live streaming, event social media, live Tweeting, and comment engagement.
Learn more about Shaily on LinkedIn, Twitter, and don’t look too hard for her on TikTok.

Ever wondered what it feels like to strip back the layers of expectation and create something deeply authentic? Join me on a transformative exploration into the heart of genuine artistry, where we navigate the intricacies of podcasting, music, and self-expression.
My journey has taken me from the analytical to the organic, culminating in the birth of the Corporate Oracle deck, a project that makes real my quest for sincerity in creativity. As we unravel the reasons behind our guarded natures during performances, we contemplate the impact of such barriers on the rawness of our dialogues.
It can be said that an artist's path is never linear, and this episode is a testament to that. I speak candidly about the metamorphosis from pain to purpose, drawing from the profound grief of losing my mother to the unbridled liberty of crafting art solely for art's sake.
We look to the inspiring philosophies of Rick Rubin and the organic rise of an Instagram artist, reminding us that the truest form of creation resonates universally. Moreover, we discuss the delicate dance between structure and spontaneity in the creative process, and I share my insights on producing music that resonates with the soul's rhythm.
Our hearts connect through an enlightening chat with the talent behind @freedmit, where we anticipate their upcoming album and the magic it promises to weave. This episode is a tribute to the joy of artistic discovery and the power of shared narratives.
Through these conversations, we not only uncover the essence of what it means to create from an authentic place, but also celebrate the bonds formed when we let our true selves shine through in our work.
Key Takeaways(00:00) Authenticity in Podcasting and Creativity
(14:26) Creative Evolution and Authentic Expression
(24:34) Creative Flow and Source Energy
(39:39) Power of Mindset and Creativity
(43:57) Connecting Through Instagram Handle
Shareable Quotes"I think the most popular episodes are generally the ones where I'm just blabbing away a little bit and not really being as polished. And I just—I don't know—I think that we're very conditioned to wanting to be received well and not have the conflict.""It's so funny because the whole intention was for me to sound really professional, sound very polished, but as I get older and as I tap more into my most authentic creations, especially with music too, I find myself creating the most wonderful art when I am not in my head and I'm just fully relaxed and with myself.""I think what makes a great leader, artist, creative, is someone who can do both—allow the creative process to happen without the pressure of time, and then, once it's there, to have the discipline to shape and execute it. There's an intrinsic discipline to get the work out because now it feels like it's made for more than just me, and I know that."Connect with BriWebsite - https://www.bridimit.com

Shareable Quotes"SEO is, you do all this work and then you're... sitting there and then you're like well, it's not working, I'm going to go do something else. And nine months later, a year later or something like that, all of a sudden you're getting all these inquiries from Google and you don't even really remember why.""If your homepage says that you do everything, Google's not gonna feature you for everything. They're not gonna say that this generalist is going to be the portrait photographer they recommend over a specific family portrait photographer.""You turn down what you don't want to make room for what you do want, because if you're spending all your time doing what you don't want, it's only going to lead to more of what you don't want."Connect with GUESTWebsite - https://connorwalberg.com/
