This Can't Be That Hard

When Kristyn Miller and I scheduled time to record this episode of Mini Mentoring, we had one plan for what we were going to talk about. Then, once we set the timer and actually talked it through, it turned out we had a whole different conversation on our hands.

Kahran and Regis Bethencourt are on fire. Their new book Glory was released last month and instantly hit the New York Times Bestseller list, and yet in the midst of promoting that, managing a full roster of private and commercial clients, working on their second book, and chasing their new puppy Pixel around, they made time to chat with me on This Can’t Be That Hard. You absolutely can’t miss this conversation!

Most photographers set out to run a relatively simple business, but it’s surprisingly easy to quickly make things more complicated than they need to be.

In this episode, I’m going to give you a quick way to assess whether you’re overcomplicating your business, and if you are, an easy strategy for identifying where things need to be streamlined and simplified.

In this slightly unusual episode of Mini Mentoring, I’m chatting with Dreama Spence, a photographer who planned and executed an UnSchooled portrait session concept this fall.

In this episode of Mini Mentoring, Amy Sanusi and I chat about the enviable but still problematic situation of being fully booked, but still wanting to serve your returning clients.

There are a million ways to learn what you need to learn to be a successful photographer - books, youtube videos, online courses, workshops, conferences… even podcasts! But navigating that enormous number of resources can be frustrating, especially when the help you need is either very specific or very broad.

One solution is to find a coach or mentor who has been there and figured things out, and who will work with you individually to help you cut through all the confusion.

Maz Pedersen is one of those coaches, and on this episode, she shares her insights on how to know when hiring a coach is the right move, how the coaching process works, and how to find the right mentor for you.
