Episode 69: Checking in with Kate, Ashley & Julie!

PhotoSpark

Helllooooo everyone! So we have to be honest, we absolutely LOVE having guests on our podcast! Not only do we think guests bring their awesome expertise to the table, it's also kinda like having an awesome excuse to hang out with super cool people we look up to in the industry! However, we also love the dynamic the three of us have together, without guests! We have three super unique personalities, and every now & then it's fun to just hang out in the studio without anyone else! This week, we realized it's been awhile since we've "checked in" with you guys, so we're chatting about all things US and giving you an update on some cool stuff each of your PhotoSpark hosts have been doing! Kate: In classic Kate-style, she's choosing to use her 5 minutes in the spotlight to vent about someone (ok she probably does vent more than the other PhotoSpark hosts, but venting keeps things interesting...right?). She chats about a situation where a client seemed to be taking advantage of a special "friends only" discount she offered after said client ditched out on the shoot. It's hard to explain via the blog, so you'll have to listen to the episode in order to understand what I'm talking about. Ashley: If venting about clients is classic Kate-style, talking about Yelp is classic Ashley-style and she doesn't disappoint this week! :) While Kate & Ashley both use Yelp to find clients, Ashley is definitely the main Yelper of the PhotoSpark hosts. Ashley did a small business webinar for Yelp a couple weeks ago as a guest host, and she chatted about how to get more reviews. Ashley chatted about 5 star process from start to finish, and the webinar was amazing! She had 500 RSVPs and it was very well received! Julie: Aaaaand here comes Julie with her super awesome travel stories! She was lucky enough to travel to Mexico for Melissa McClure's wedding last month, and she's sharing about it. She's notorious for scheduling travel around work, so she'll schedule a TON of shoots every time she travels, but this time she only scheduled ONE and it was for a close friend. So she chats this week about separating yourself from work while you're on a trip, and how important it is sometimes to disconnect & just enjoy yourself! We hope you guys don't mind the millions of mess-ups and bloopers in this episode... haha we're not unorganized, we're endearing... and quirky... right?! Anyway, please keep listening each week & subscribe on iTunes!! If you haven't left us a review yet, you can do that too! THANK YOU!!! Relevent Links:
