Not just for photographers!
In Apple Podcasts by Newcastle celebrant, Julie Muir, from Australia on May 18, 2019
I know this podcast is aimed at photographers but guess what?! I am a celebrant and I love it too!
Our business models are so similar that I get something relevant to me, out of every episode.
Actually, this podcast is giving me a competitive edge and helping me reach the top of my industry. Ssshhhhh! Don't tell the others! I'm kidding!
Andrew is a great interviewer. He always seems to ask the question that's on the tip of my tongue to squeeze out more gold nuggets from his guests.
I also love that he inadvertently promotes a good work/life balance with all the holidays he takes!
What a brilliant resource
In Apple Podcasts by Newborn and Baby Photographer, Ally Stuart from the UK on May 13, 2019
I've only just discovered PhotoBizX Premium podcasts. Every episode is fascinating and I have found so many useful interviews.
There's lots of good advice too on running a successful photography business. I've just listened to the Kevin Mullins interview and found it very interesting. I now listen to photography podcasts while editing and it's a much better use of my time than listening to the radio.
