Not any particular moments, none
that would be too different from
every other photographer in that I
feel lucky to be able to do what I do.
As a whole, all the small moments
amount to what I feel has been and
remains a pretty amazing life for
Linda, our boys and me. Through
photography we have always had a
lovely home, great schooling for our
boys and plenty of overseas holi-
days and time to enjoy all of them.
To think about everything we’ve
achieved through photography
amazes me.
Ok, let’s talk about podcasting,
you’re running a successful podcast
- talk to us about that part of your
life.
The podcasting has become a real
passion of mine, I love it, I love the
140
listeners, the Premium Members, the
community. It’s become a special
and valued part of my life.
I know I can affect clients with my
photography, but the podcast has
a similar affect... on steroids! The
emails and messages I receive from
photographers all over the world
leaving their day job to pursue pho-
tography full time because of what
they hear on the podcast is like a
drug I can’t get enough of. I didn’t re-
alise the impact the podcast would
have when starting it. Sure, I hoped
and dreamt but wow, it’s incredible
now it’s happening.
The podcast started off as a one
day per week thing but it’s almost a
full-time gig now. Between the two
podcasts - Photo Biz Xposed and
The Photography Xperiment Pod-
cast, the interviews, editing, show
notes, emailing, managing the active
Facebook group and two virtual as-
sistants, it’s grown a lot in 240+ epi-
sodes over 4 years.
Both shows are interview based
and focused on photography for
photographers all over the English
speaking world.
PhotoBizX revolves 100% around
the business side of photography.
My goal in every interview is to get
something valuable the listener can
implement into their own business
- that could be related to marketing
SEO, advertising, branding, network-
ing, pricing, products, sales, time
management, workflow, etc.
What continues to amaze me is just
how much guests are willing to share
about their own businesses. From
turn over figures, exact prices, ad-
vertising copy, marketing strategies
- nothing is off limits.
