In this episode, I break down the ethical risks that AI has created in the modern creative industry. From photographers and videographers to models and agencies, everyone’s work and likeness are now at risk of being copied, altered, or replicated by artificial intelligence. I explore real-world examples of how AI can be misused — and the practical steps professionals can take to protect their art, contracts, and identities. Whether you’re behind the lens or in front of it, this episode gives you the tools to stay authentic and safeguard your creative future.

I have my friend, Felipe Wallis, on the show.  Felipe is a fashion photographer, stylist and model coach that I've worked with closely with both my studio and mother agency, Vault Management.  We talk about the modeling industry and open up the doors to topics that don't always get talked about, and hopefully direction to anybody wanting to get into the modeling industry. 

I speak with Brittney Foley, who is a makeup artist based in Miami.  Brittney has launched two companies called Crease Piece and Rept'd.  We talk about her motivation to launch those companies, how to take an idea and turn it into a company and some of the challenges she had to overcome along the way.  

In this episode I interview model and friend, Laken Romine.  Laken decided at 29 to pursue her passion of modeling.  She talks about her path to being a successful model working worldwide 4 years later, and how she has overcome challenges along the way.  

In this episode, I'm the guest of my friend Maggie Strunk, who is launching her podcast, Syrv Podcast.  We had a good conversation about her motivation to launch a podcast, overcoming the fear of not knowing how to do something, and putting herself out there to build a platform for herself and others in the creative industry.  

In this episode I provide some practical tips and methods for utilizing emotional intelligence to improve communication and working relationships.  So often as entrepreneurs we get involved in our own worlds and goals that it's easy to overlook how our actions impact others.  This episode provides some clarity and strategy for addressing that.  

In this short solo episode I lay out 5 ways to help you define your goals, stay motivated and stay on track to hit them in 2025!

In this short solo episode I give my reasons why I believe creatives should stay away from caving in to client expectations and requests to do discounts.  

In this episode, I talk with my friend, Max Riehn.  Max is the owner of Maxson Media in South Florida.  We talk about his unconventional path to becoming an entrepreneur.  Max had several prior paths before forging his path as an owner of a commercial production company.  We talk about how he was able to use that prior experience to have better insights with being a photographer.  Max also talks about how to build positive habits to keep you going when the motivation is not enough.  He also talks about the qualities of working with his spouse, Ashley, on his team.  

Since I started my journey into professional photography I have learned valuable lessons from the mistakes that I've made.  And a lot of those mistakes had to do with communication and clarity or lack thereof up front when taking on a client gig.  I've learned that there are critical aspects of a project that should be determined in order to establish clarity, ensure agreement and contribute to a successful outcome.  This podcast episode is everything that I wish I would have known when I started working with clients.  I hope that this is helpful, and I would love to hear your feedback.
