We’ll be diving into business strategy and giving you nothing but the raw, honest truth. That this dream of yours? Is attainable. And we’re going to give you the steps to get there. This is the We Got You Podcast.
The We Got You podcast is an absolute gem for photographers, videographers, and creatives in the wedding industry. Hosted by Hannah, Liz, and Emma, this podcast covers a wide range of topics that are informative, inspiring, and enjoyable to listen to. As a photographer myself, I love tuning in to We Got You while editing because it adds an extra layer of fun to my work. The dedication and hard work that these ladies put into each episode is evident, and I am grateful for the valuable content they consistently deliver.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the variety of professionals they bring on as guests. From seasoned wedding photographers to industry experts in marketing and social media, We Got You offers a diverse range of perspectives and insights. This allows listeners to gain practical tools and knowledge that can be implemented in their businesses right away. Whether you're just starting out or have been in the industry for years, there is always something new to learn from this podcast.
Another great aspect is the genuine passion and joy that Hannah, Liz, and Emma bring to every episode. Their love for the wedding industry shines through in their discussions and it's contagious. They genuinely want to help other creatives succeed and grow in their businesses. This passion translates into an engaging listening experience that not only educates but also inspires you to create and constantly improve.
While it would be hard pressed to find any major flaws with this podcast, one possible downside could be the occasional lack of depth in certain topics due to time constraints. With episodes typically ranging around 30 minutes or so, some subjects may not be explored as thoroughly as desired. However, considering the vast amount of valuable information packed into each episode, this is a minor issue that can easily be overlooked.
In conclusion, The We Got You podcast is a must-listen for anyone in the wedding industry or creative field. Hannah, Liz, and Emma have created a resource that not only provides practical tools and advice but also serves as a source of inspiration. Their genuine passion, knowledge, and willingness to help shines through in every episode. Whether you're a new photographer or a seasoned veteran, there is something here for everyone. I highly recommend this podcast and also their personal work, as they continue to be an invaluable resource for the creative community.
We know this comes at a shock to almost all of you, but after much talk, reflection, and consideration, Hannah and I have dedicated to indefinitely close the We Got You Podcast chapter. This decision was so far from easy and it took alot of time for us to make the decision, especially as our downloads and listens have tripled this year over the past fours combined. But in all reality and honesty, life only allows you so much time and energy to be able to pour into life. With this, Hannah and I have both been pulled in many different directions the past few years, and realized that we've accomplished our goal of community and free education with We Got You, and it's time to pour our time and energy into many new personal and career endeavors. Maybe years down the road we return, but for now, we're so thankful the past 4 years of listening and support you've showed our podcast. Our podcast episodes and our Instagram will live on forever. That being said, you can tune in and re-listen to ANY episode you want, anytime for years to come. You can also always reach out to us on socials, and share about past episodes here at @wegotyou_podcast. We love you, we always got you.

Here's the truth. There have been countless times I've FAILED as an educator. Countless times I've battled with myself behind-the-scenes: reminding myself my intentions, pushing myself to open up about topics we often like to keep hidden not droping off the face of the earth when feeling overwhelmed by the outside world, remembering your worth and supporting your peers at all times, not "selling just to sell" and certainly not selling yourself too short ...the list goes on and I know I'm not the only one who has felt like this in the education industry. Let's be honest. Whether you're in the education space yourself, or someone who looks up to others in this industry, I highly recommend listening in this week and keeping this conversation going, whether you agree or not.
