What do you do when your industry feels different, inquiries feel slower, and the strategies that used to work don't hit the same way anymore?In this episode, I'm sharing a conversation that originally aired on Laura Esmond's podcast, where we talked honestly about what's working in marketing in 2026, how photographers can build more stability in uncertain seasons, and why diversification matters more than ever. We go beyond surface-level strategy and into the real mindset shifts required to keep moving when business feels unpredictable.Laura and I talk about the trust gap that many business owners are feeling right now, why buyers need more touch points before they say yes, and how building a personal brand creates deeper connection than polished marketing alone. We also dive into affiliate marketing, evergreen content, Pinterest, in-person community building, and the importance of taking action instead of waiting to feel fully clear.In this Episode:Trust takes more touch points now. Diversification creates stability. Clarity comes from action.  Find It Quickly:00:00 - Why this conversation feels timely for photographers04:32 - What's changing in buyer behavior and trust07:17 - The importance of real-life connection and trust touchpoints14:53 - What diversification really means (and where to start)15:50 - Affiliate marketing as a scalable revenue stream22:56 - Brand authority and building optional income paths32:47 - Evergreen content, Pinterest, and long-term strategy41:10 - The most stabilizing next step during a slow seasonMentioned in this Episode:PhotoBoss® CommunityAffiliate JumpstartAffiliate BossHobby to Pro ToolkitPitchPower Email TemplatesWalking PadConnect with Laura:Website: lauraesmond.comPodcast: With Laura EsmondInstagram: instagram.com/reeseandcoportraitsIf you're enjoying the content we're creating on the podcast and want to connect with others who are called to both, make sure you come join us in the PhotoBoss® with Joy Michelle Facebook Group!

Kitty Reads Lit for Peace: William Thackeray – The History of Henry Esmond plus The Next Peacelands This episode offers a brief excerpt from William Makepeace Thackeray's The History of Henry Esmond, a reflective, gently paced novel told through a narrator looking back on his life. In this short selection, Kitty brings forward Thackeray's quiet observational humor and the steady tone that shaped so much of his work. Kitty O'Compost warms up her reporter voice for CTRL–AI–DISARM, the upcoming Peace Is Here series exploring truth, power, and the systems shaping our shared future. The episode closes with The Next Peacelands, where Avis Kalfsbeek reads a real-time list of global warzones and major arms suppliers—an honest grounding in the world as it is, and an invitation to practice peace with intention.

Get Carla's Book here: https://carlakaplan.com/troublemaker-the-fierce-unruly-life-of-jessica-mitford.html   The second youngest of the famously beautiful—and brilliant—“Mitford Girls,” Jessica Mitford was brought up by an eccentric English family in the bucolic Cotswolds. She and her sisters were raised to marry well and reproduce their class. Five of them enthusiastically embraced that path and went on to lead glamorous lives that have been the subject of countless books and movies, with more on the way. And then there was Jessica...   Jessica—known as Decca—broke the Mitford mold. At the age of nineteen, she ran away from a world of wealth and privilege to fight fascism in the Spanish Civil War. She survived war; her husband, Esmond, did not, leaving her to raise their then-unborn child alone. Undaunted, Decca became an American Communist and, in mid-life, pioneered a witty and wildly popular style of writing which placed her at the heart of the social struggles of her day. A celebrity in the civil rights, free speech, antiwar, and prison abolition movements, she relentlessly pursued both fairness and joy, injecting humor into all her political work and encouraging the activists she influenced to do the same. She left her mark on celebrities too, including famed baby doctor Benjamin Spock and best friend Maya Angelou. Decca's anti authoritarian irreverence had an impact that was broad and profound.   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.

She is an LA-based stand-up comedian, actress and acting teacher originally hailing from Little Rock, Arkansas who features and emcees regularly at the Little Rock Looney Bin and at clubs all over the country. This episode, we get into the changing public perception to as what is good art over the decades, the underrated service of emceeing to newer comedians, what makes a good emcee, how low streaming residuals could effect the starving artist's ability to produce good art, deaf culture, law, capitalism, the struggling film economy, why it's wrong for casting directors to be shitty to child actors on set, abortion, and a whole bunch more.

The amazing fruits of Ellen White's deep and meaningful relationship with God. 

Truman Esmond, founder and CEO, Partnership for Insurance Information, said artificial intelligence processes can employ blockchain technology to give greater transparency into the results they generate. Truman spoke with AM Best TV at the 2023 IASA Insurance Conference in Minneapolis.

God is calling Seventh-day Adventist individuals and families to return to His presence consistently.  Here are three critical things that elders can do to help revive personal devotional life among church members. 

In the closing days of 2022, speaker and author Dwain Esmond shared a direct appeal from his heart to pastors around the globe in an article titled Back to the Altar. The need, he says, is the broken worship altar ... [it] Represents the single greatest threat to [Christian] life and purpose... People who lack a consistent devotional walk with God cannot know Him, love Him, or effectively share Him with others. And the needed response, Esmond's appeal, is that the restoration of personal and family worship among [Christians] is the most pressing need of our time... This February we will hear the call from sacred scripture to return to what was known in the Old Testament as the altar. What could be the potential for your journey with Jesus if you were to join a 28- day challenge of spending personal time (or increasing time), daily family time, and community worship time (joining a Sabbath School class or attending worship each week)? From February 5 - March 4 our Friend and Savior invites you to meet Him at the altar.

Two or three healthcare organizations a day are falling victim to a ransomware attack, according to Esmond Kane, chief information security officer (CISO), of Steward Health Care and former CISO for Harvard. The way to fight that is to use creativity, perseverance and innovation, he says. And keep in mind, the bad guys are also innovating at the same time you are. In this interview with healthsystemCIO Founder and Editor-in-Chief Anthony Guerra, Kane discusses the increasingly challenging role of the CISO and how he uses behavioral questions to find the right candidates for his team. Credentials and HR screening will not always reveal the best choice, but finding out how passionate someone is at their hobbies just might. And when it comes to the board, never tell them you can keep your institution 100% safe, because that's not reality, Kane says.

In this article we discuss the single greatest threat to Seventh-day Adventist life and purpose.

Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher are joined by literary critic and scholar Peter Brooks. Brooks is the Sterling Professor of Comparative Literature Emeritus at Yale. He is the author of many books but perhaps most notably of Reading for the Plot, originally published in 1984, which initiated the narrative turn in literary criticism. In it, Brooks focused on the story, how it was told and how it moved forward.   His latest book Suduced by Story returns to narrative as its main subject, 30 years later. Brooks now finds narrative everywhere — from President Bush invoking the “stories” of all of his cabinet members to corporate websites touting the company “story”. What does this narrative takeover mean? Why have we started to privilege storytelling over any other form of expression? Brooks writes “This…suggests something in our culture has gone astray.” Peter Brooks joins us today to discuss, as he puts it, “the misuses, and mindless uses, of narrative.” Also, Darryl Pinckney, author of Come Back in September, returns to recommend three books: Elizabeth Hardwick's Seduction and Betrayal; Margo Jefferson's Constructing a Nervous System; and Marina Warner's Esmond and Ilia.

This week, writer, professor & critic Marina Warner joins the show to talk about her new book about her parents, Esmond and Ilia: An Unreliable Memoir (New York Review Books). She gets into the memory of her father's Cairo bookshop getting burned down in a riot, the huge cache of letters and documents her mother left behind and what it taught her about her mother's life & deep sadness, how this book transitioned from novel to memoir and what novelistic aspects it retained, and why she disagrees with the standard memoir's notion of an integral self. We also talk about transformations from Ovid to COVID, her upcoming work on the concept of sanctuary and her interest in refugees, what it means to be at home in the world and how to give refugees a sense of attachment through imagination, why fairy tales and myth need to be reinterpretable and not fixed in meaning, how it felt to have one of her books cribbed by WG Sebald, how the myrrh bush captured her imagination, and why I think she should watch Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Plus, we discuss the loss of Carmen Callil and the need to champion women writers, her role as the first woman president of the Royal Society of Literature from 2017 to 2021 and the RSL's recent unwillingness to hold an event in support of Salman Rushdie, and a lot more.

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K438: About Florida - Hotter summers mean Florida's turtles are mostly born female Florida's sea turtles are grappling with a gender imbalance made worse by climate change. 佛羅里達海龜奮力解決因氣候變遷導致惡化的性別失衡。 Recent heat waves have caused the sand on some beaches to get so hot that nearly every turtle born was female. 近期熱浪導致一些沙灘的沙粒變得過熱，以至於幾乎每隻新生海龜都是雌性。 "The frightening thing is the last four summers in Florida have been the hottest summers on record," said Bette Zirkelbach, manager of the Turtle Hospital. 海龜醫院經理貝特．齊克爾巴赫說，可怕的是，佛州過去4年夏天是有紀錄以來最熱的夏天。 "Scientists that are studying sea turtle hatchlings and eggs have found no boy sea turtles, so only female sea turtles for the past four years," Zirkelbach said,. 齊克爾巴赫說，研究海龜孵化和蛋的科學家已經發現過去4年沒有雄性海龜，只有雌性海龜。 Instead of determining sex during fertilization, the sex of sea turtles and alligators depends on the temperature of developing eggs. 海龜和鱷魚的性別取決於蛋孵化的溫度，而非受精。 When a female turtle digs a nest on a beach, the temperature of the sand determines the gender of the hatchlings. 當母海龜在沙灘上挖了一個巢穴，沙子的溫度決定孵化出殼的海龜性別。 If a turtle's eggs incubate below 27.7 Celsius, the turtle hatchlings will be male, whereas if they incubate above 31C, they will be female. 一旦海龜蛋孵化的溫度低於攝氏27.7度，海龜就會是雄性；反之當溫度高於攝氏31度，就會是雌性。 Next Article A Florida man paid off the past dues for 114 families at risk of having their utilities shut off 佛州男子為有斷水斷電斷瓦斯之虞的114個家庭繳逾期帳單 A Florida business owner who was once down on his luck is giving back by covering the utility bills of 114 families who were facing disconnection. （美國）佛羅里達州1名曾經時運不濟的老闆，以幫助114個有斷水斷電斷瓦斯之虞的家庭支付水電費，做為回報。 Michael Esmond's generosity started in 2019 when he paid the utility bills of 36 households in his community of Gulf Breeze. Last year, with both Hurricane Sally and Covid-induced economic turmoil hitting the city, he thought he needed to up the ante. 邁可．艾斯蒙德的慷慨之舉始於2019年，他當時為微風灣社區的36個家戶繳納水電瓦斯費。去年，該市受到「莎莉」颶風與武漢肺炎所導致的經濟動盪之雙重夾擊，他覺得他必須加碼助人。 Esmond donated $7,615.40 to pay for the past-due bills of 114 households, according to Joanne Oliver, the city's utility billing supervisor. 該市水電瓦斯帳單稽查員瓊安．奧利佛說，艾斯蒙德捐款7615.40美元，為114個家戶繳納逾期帳單。 While Esmond's donation increased from the $4,600 he paid in 2019, he says he was able to help about three times as many households. 艾斯蒙德的捐款額高於2019年時的4600美元，他說，他能幫助到的家戶數量是（是2019年時）的3倍。Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1539454 ; https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/world/paper/1459618 歡迎留言告訴我們你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/cl81kivnk00dn01wffhwxdg2s/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting
