In this episode, I discuss the importance of pricing your photography sessions profitably from the very beginning. I emphasize the need to use a pricing formula that takes into account your lifestyle, goals, and expenses. I also advise  photographers to craft packages that support their client experience and showcase their value. I caution against offering free or cheap sessions for too long and becoming reliant on discounts. Additionally, I recommend using easy, straightforward, whole numbers when pricing packages. I conclude by suggesting that photographers stick with their prices for a minimum of three months and aim to convert at least 40% of their leads.HIGHLIGHTS:Price your sessions profitably from the beginning to ensure a profitable and sustainable business.Craft packages that support your client experience and showcase your value as a photographer.Avoid offering free or cheap sessions for too long and becoming reliant on discounts.Use easy, straightforward, whole numbers when pricing your packages.Stick with your prices for a minimum of three months and aim to convert at least 40% of your leads.LINKS: Ep 270 | Want to Grow Your Photography Business to Full Time Income?

How Product Managers Can Master the Art of Communication? The Crucial Role of Communication in Product Management Communication is the backbone of a Product Manager's responsibilities, impacting various aspects of their role: 1. Stakeholder Alignment - A PM interfaces with a multitude of stakeholders, including engineers, designers, marketing teams, and executives. The ability to articulate product vision, objectives, and progress is vital to ensure everyone is on the same page. Failure to do so can lead to misunderstandings, delays, and misalignment. Example: Consider the case of Tesla's Elon Musk. His exceptional communication skills, through mediums like Twitter and public presentations, have kept Tesla enthusiasts, investors, and the public informed about the company's vision, progress, and challenges. 2. Requirement Gathering - To build a successful product, a PM needs to gather and document requirements from various sources, including customers, internal teams, and market research. Clear and concise communication ensures that these requirements are accurately captured and understood. Example: Amazon's Jeff Bezos mandated an empty chair in meetings, symbolizing the absent customer. This practice reinforced the importance of customer-centric communication and decision-making in the company. 3. Prioritization and Roadmapping - A Product Manager must prioritize features and create a product roadmap. Effective communication helps in justifying these decisions to the team and stakeholders, aligning everyone with the product's strategic direction. Example: Spotify's Daniel Ek has excelled in communicating their vision to prioritize user-centric features. This has led to a constant stream of innovations in the music streaming service, keeping them ahead in a competitive market. 4. Cross-Functional Collaboration - In a dynamic environment, a PM collaborates with cross-functional teams, often with varying priorities and perspectives. Clear communication fosters collaboration, minimizes conflicts, and helps in achieving product goals. Example: Slack's Stewart Butterfield promoted transparency and open communication, allowing teams to work together efficiently, resulting in the development of a popular team collaboration tool. A Structured Approach to Mastering Communication for Product Managers To shine in their role, Product Managers can adopt a structured approach to communication. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Understand Your Audience - The first step is to understand who you are communicating with. Tailor your message to the level of detail and terminology that your audience will understand. Engineers may require technical details, while executives may need a high-level overview. Example: Steve Jobs was known for his ability to simplify complex technological concepts when presenting new Apple products to the general public, making them accessible and exciting. 2. Craft a Clear Narrative - Create a compelling narrative around your product, emphasizing its value proposition, benefits, and unique selling points. A well-structured story captivates your audience and makes the message memorable. Example: The late Tony Hsieh of Zappos was a master at storytelling, making customers and employees feel part of a larger narrative about delivering happiness through exceptional service. 3. Actively Listen - Communication is not just about talking but also about listening. Pay attention to feedback and questions from your team and stakeholders. Listening actively helps you refine your message and address concerns.

2024 is just around the corner, so it might be time for you to start thinking about launching a New Year's program. There's no need to create something purely out of FOMO—you should have offers throughout the year, not just in January. But if you want to capitalize on those New Year's Resolutions, launching free experiences or challenges in the first few weeks of January and saving the sales mechanism for later in the month is a great strategy. Jill also recommends offering longer-term commitments and higher price points to meet the mindset of individuals seeking sustainable solutions in the new year. Whatever you do won't make or break your business, but it could be a great opportunity to try something new and exciting.   Get on the Interest List for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Last week, Westbound & Down Brewing announced that it had acquired two breweries, Aspen Brewing and Capitol Creek Brewery's brewpub, both in Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley.  The deal, says Jake Gardner the Director of Brewing Operations at Westbound & Down Brewing Company, is part of a plan the brewery has been eyeing for a while. There was a desire to expand in a meaningful way, while still staying true to the brewing ethos that has guided Westbound and Down since it opened in 2015.  We'll talk business and the growth projections, and how Aspen's 7,000 barrel capacity, and Capitol Creek Brewery's brewpub will blend with the existing infrastructure.  But we're also going to talk about IPA, barrel-aged beer, and how the brewery wants to be great at all that it does.  That goal squares with Gardner's background. He started professionally brewing at Breckenridge Brewery in 2011 before transitioning to Hogshead Brewery where he worked his way up to head brewer in 2013. While working at Hogshead he connected with three mug club members who ended up becoming partners in opening Westbound & Down Brewing. This Episode is Sponsored By:ShopifyShopify's already taken the cash register online, helping millions sell billions around the world.

Why do we stay silent when we know things aren't right? How can leaders spark truth-telling in turbulent times?  And how can we foster environments that make it feel safer and worthwhile for people to voice opinions or issues? Together we tackle why people don't speak up more, the often devastating impact of staying quiet, both on ourselves and on others, and what we can do to change that.  Shed explains why psychological safety alone isn't enough. We also need courage, and to know our voice matters. He offers insights on changing culture, and reducing fear just enough, while raising the stakes, so people take the risk to contribute.  In today's episode we're digging into: We dig into questions like, how do leaders reward truth-telling, even when it's hard to hear? Why must inclusion of diverse views be centered? We discuss the behaviors that encourage participation at all levels. And how to have constructive dialogue, not just top-down criticism. Imagine work cultures where speaking up is welcomed, not just tolerated. Where complex issues are explored from all sides, with open-minded curiosity, not closed-minded certainty.  And we're in conversation with: SPARKED BRAINTRUST ADVISOR: Stephen ‘Shed' Shedletzky | Website | Book Speaker and author of “Speak-Up Culture: When Leaders Truly Listen, People Step Up”, Stephen Shedletzky.

Host Ben Rice travels to Sacramento, CA, to pay yet another visit to New Helvetia Brewing. This time, he sits down with current owner Dave Gull to discuss New Helvetia's newly-announced move to a public co-operative model and their recent 11th anniversary (and Ben's secret lineup pop-up show at said anniversary party). While we do get into specifics about what the co-op model means for him, the company, its employees, the city of Sacramento, and potential members, first, we take our sweet-ass time getting there by wishing Dave a happy 50th birthday (because he was kind enough to sit down with me on his birthday), discussing a variety of topics, such as reincarnation, Carl Sagan's Cosmos, Ben's past career in music journalism, Sacramento's odd behavior toward the arts and passion projects, Sacramento history lost to time, capitalism's war on positive change, and that old bugaboo Nationalized Healthcare. Plus! Again, so much detail about what this co-operative is, how it will work, what you can expect and how you can plan for the unexpected if you wish to join the membership, its efforts at equity, hyper-focusing on improving Sacramento while getting it drunk at the same time, and its $300 lifetime membership!Find out more about this co-op effort and how to get involved (and answers to questions we maybe didn't answer on the episode) or just to see what they've got on tap and available to devour (I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR HERE: AFTER THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED, I HAD THE BIRRIA BURGER FROM CHEF NATE SOTO AND IT IS THE BEST BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD AND IS IN THE TOP 10 THINGS I HAVE EATEN OF ANY KIND - TRULY, IF YOU SEE THIS ON SPECIAL, ORDER IT.

Many years ago, Waylon came across a uniquely simple, yun-ful watch display in an outdoor mall in LA. One was black, one white, both with wooden cases. He fell in love not only with the simple elegance, but the values—these are just about the only watches entirely Made in the USA, these days. Waylon bought a Weiss watch a year later, an early “adult” purchase. Recently, Waylon and Cameron Weiss, founder of Weiss Watch Company, speak about the sustainability of mechanical watches, how they can keep us in the present moment, and considerate about how we use our time; how a watch is often an heirloom item, and what that means.⁠ “A watch, like any thing, can be ethically-crafted & sourced, an heirloom to pass on to a loved one. Few are. Weiss is.” ~ Waylon Lewis⁠ We discuss ethical, eco, made-in-the-USA craft, which in many ways is a dying thing. Subscribers get the full conversation.

It was a hot and muggy night in Warsaw, unusual for this time of the year. Sitting at the bar was a man nursing a beer. No one noticed his unkempt appearance or the bulge in his jacket pocket. As the bartender rang up another transaction, a young man wearing a ball cap swung open the door. A quick sideways glance was given to the stranger who strode over to take a seat at the bar. The young man ordered a beer then turned and quietly said, “Erdnase.” After a few uneasy moments that seemed like an eternity, the man reached into his pocket. He pulled out a deck of cards and suddenly…it was magic time.That could have gone in a completely different direction and oftentimes it does in the world of spy craft. This week we chat with the former Acting Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.), John McLaughlin. There is an overlap and kinship in the keeping of secrets both as spies and as magicians, though one doesn't control the balance of life and death in their hands. John is an American Intelligence Officer who served as Deputy Director of the C.I.A. under President Bill Clinton and then briefly as the Acting Director of the C.I.A. under President G.W. Bush then retired in 2004. McLaughlin currently serves as a Senior Fellow and Distinguished Practitioner-in-Residence at the Philip Merrill Center for Strategic Studies at the Johns Hopkins University Paul H.

Good sales pitches aren't about what you have to offer. An effective sales pitch is all about what you have to offer that the other guys don't have. When you can identify that selling point, you're headed in the right direction to close the deal.   April Dunford is an executive consultant, speaker, and author who helps technology companies make complicated products easy for customers to understand and love. She is a globally recognized expert in positioning and market strategy and has launched 16 products to market across her 25-year career as VP of marketing at a series of successful high-growth startups. April advises leadership, sales, and marketing teams through training, workshops, and keynote talks.   April offers invaluable insights from her latest book Sales Pitch: How to Craft a Story to Stand Out and Win. She goes deep into the art of effective pitching and selling and shares the specific framework she has used to successfully pitch products at companies like Google, IBM, Postman, and Epic Games.   Nobody likes buying insurance. Shopping for B-to-B software is nobody's favorite pastime. And when it came time for April to buy a new toilet, she learned just how painful buying can be. Sorting through features is overwhelming, and the sheer number of decisions that have to be made around making one single purchase can be enough to make anyone give up and head in the opposite direction.   40 to 60% of B-to-B tech purchase processes end in no decision. When buyers are overwhelmed by their options and feel that they don't have access to the information they need to make an informed decision, the easy answer is to prolong the decision altogether and not buy anything.   Overwhelmed buyers need a guide — not a pushy salesperson — to help them identify the most critical elements of their purchase and make a decision. Customers don't really care about the features themselves, they care about what those features are going to do for their business.   There is always an alternative to solving a problem, and customers need to clearly see that their best option is to buy from you. The question you are trying to answer isn't “why pick us,” it's “why pick us over the other guys.” Identifying the key differentiators and highlighting that value to others is a critical first step to closing the sale.   Interview Links: April Dunford   Resources: Growth Navigator Coaching Scaling Up Summits (Select Bill Gallagher as your coach during registration for a discount.)
