When it comes to marketing your practice, questions about the need and value of headshots are very common. So in this episode, Jo is joined by John Lindroth who is a specialised headshot photographer.

Jo and John discuss the surprising problem with selfies, why the angle of your headshot can affect how much you are trusted by your audience and (potential) clients, why getting your friend who has a good camera to take your headshots isn’t enough if you want to build a trusted and successful practice and why it’s important to keep them up to date.

John has a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and Computer Science from Juniata College, and a Master’s Degree in Biomedical Computing from the Medical University of South Carolina. He spent the first 25 years of his career as a programmer. John has spent the last 10 years in the behavioural health field as an office manager in his wife’s group practice.  As a photographer, John started shooting professionally in 2010, with the subject matter of “anything but weddings”. As the pandemic started coming to an end in 2021, he decided to focus all his interest on headshot photography.

Sometimes as an allied health professional, you might be asked or called upon to give evidence in legal proceedings. In this wide-ranging conversation, Jo is joined by Nicol Stolar-Peterson who is a clinical social worker and experienced expert witness who now coaches therapists to help them prepare for the court environment.

It’s hard enough to build and run a sustainable and successful practice. But how do you do that when you have a neurodiverse brain and the tactics and advice often given about running a practice aren’t designed for the way your brain operates? And how do you make sure your practice is more diverse and accessible to those who are neurodivergent?

That’s the question we explore in this week’s episode when Jo is joined by Amber Hawley. Amber is a licensed therapist and business mentor who helps ‘neurospicy’ (as she likes to call it) business owners get $hit done in a sustainable way that decreases the risk of burnout and increases satisfaction, profitability and overall happiness. 

In this conversation, Jo and Amber discuss: 

• Amber’s experience of being diagnosed with ADHD in her 40s

You can find out more about Amber at her websites https://amberhawley.com/ and www.stilldistracted.com (website coming soon) or listen to her podcasts, the Easily Distracted Entrepreneur and the Easily Distracted Therapist wherever you are listening to this.
