Kim Box has said before that spotting talent is one of the few things she'll claim to be good at. This week, she gets to prove it. Katie Lamb, longtime TMA mentor and educator, has officially joined the team as Director of Education, and the two sit down to talk about what she has already built, what members have been asking for, and where TMA education is headed next. In This Episode Why Katie said yes, and what a dedicated education role makes possible that no one person can do alone The redesigned member dashboard: seven years of education, now searchable by topic, mentor, and need The shift from selling information to delivering results, and why "less, but better" is the goal What it means for a membership to feel like home, from the community to the education library The education members are requesting most right now, including behind-the-scenes sessions, Fresh 48, product-based business transitions, and CRM workflows How the community itself has become one of the most valuable parts of the $49 membership A peek at what the team is exploring for members who want smaller groups, accountability, and support beyond the basics Katie's vision is simple: you focus on the art you're making, and TMA makes sure you always know what you need to know.

The GLP-1 boom is changing how millions of people approach weight loss, but what happens to the gut when these drugs slow digestion and intestinal motility? In this episode of The Architect of Resilience, I sit down with Charlie Weingroff to break down the connection between GLP-1 drugs, gut permeability, oral peptides, inflammation, and systemic health. We explore why oral peptides are often dismissed, how formulation affects absorption, the impact of toxic mold on gut health, hormones, and mitochondrial function, and the role of compounds like lactoferrin in gut and iron management. https://chrisduffin.com/ Coaching, Peptides, Supplements, eBooks & Merch, Education, and my Free Community!

Private Santa sessions are one of the most beloved offerings a portrait photographer can add to her calendar, but building them into a smooth, fully booked experience takes more strategy than most people expect. In this episode, Ali sits down with Kate Grabowski of Kate Marie Portraiture, an eight-year Santa session veteran based just outside of Dallas, Texas, who has refined her process from zero bookings in year one to selling out 24 spots in a matter of days. In This Episode Why early marketing (we're talking July) is the single most important factor in booking out Santa sessions, and why you shouldn't panic when spots don't fill immediately How Kate structures a tiered launch, from a VIP client list to a "Nice List" sign-up to a public release, and why that sequence creates genuine urgency The case for private, unhurried sessions and why marketing the experience (not just the photos) is what sets boutique Santa offerings apart What Kate has learned about session length, scheduling logistics, and why she scaled back to one day after two exhausting back-to-back event days Creative gifting ideas that elevate the client experience, from homemade gingerbread Play-Doh to jingle bells tied with velvet ribbon How to get strong promotional images before you've ever run a single session, including working directly with your Santa for a pre-season shoot Whether you're considering Santa sessions for the first time or looking to refine what you're already doing, Kate's honest, experience-driven perspective is exactly the kind of practical guidance that makes the difference between a stressful day and a magical one. If today's episode has you thinking about adding Santa sessions to your calendar and doing them well, the TMA membership is where that planning gets real support. Every month goes deep on one piece of the photography business, with live coaching calls, featured educators, and a community of photographers working through the same questions.

What does it actually take to build a photography business that's profitable? Not just busy, not just booked, but genuinely sustainable. This best-of episode pulls five conversations from the TMA archive to answer that question from five different angles, and the picture they paint together is more practical and more honest than any single episode could deliver on its own. In This Episode Laura Esmond on why simplifying your offer is the fastest path to profitability, and the "let go list" practice that helps photographers get there Jodi Nemetz on the psychology-based niche that took her from $41,000 to multi-six figures, and what that arc reveals about the power of dialing in on one specific thing Kayla Marie on the real framework for deciding what to outsource and what to own, including how your market type should drive that decision Shannon Griffin on how a clear artist statement becomes a business operating principle, and why vision is a profit driver, not a creative luxury Katie Lamb on why boundaries are the piece that makes everything else stick, and the mindset shift that turns "no" into a business strategy Every photographer you'll hear today has found profitability through a different door. But the through-line is the same: clarity, intentionality, and the willingness to make decisions that align with the life you actually want to build. If today's episode has you thinking about the deeper work behind a profitable photography business, the TMA membership is where that work continues. Every month goes deep on one piece of the photography business, with live coaching calls, featured educators, and a community of photographers working through the same questions.

Have you ever wondered why your pig runs to the refrigerator every time you open it, begs while you're cooking, or tries to steal food from your plate? In this episode, Autumn explains why these behaviors develop and, more importantly, how to prevent them. Pigs are naturally driven by food, and because they are incredibly intelligent, they quickly learn associations between people, places, sounds, and rewards. Something as simple as handing your pig a strawberry from the refrigerator or sharing a snack while sitting on the couch can teach them that those places—and your food—belong to them. Autumn discusses how these seemingly harmless habits can lead to demanding behaviors such as begging, rooting at your legs, guarding the kitchen, stealing food, and even food-related aggression. She explains why consistency and clear boundaries are essential for raising a respectful, well-mannered pig. Listeners will learn: Why pigs become so persistent around human food. How pigs form lasting associations with kitchens, refrigerators, counters, and dining areas. The importance of never feeding pigs in places where people prepare or eat food. Why asking your pig to perform a simple behavior before meals or treats helps reinforce healthy boundaries. How structure and consistency reduce frustration, prevent aggression, and strengthen the bond between you and your pig. Autumn also shares personal stories about her pig, Topanga, to demonstrate how early training and consistent expectations can create excellent food manners that last a lifetime. This episode concludes with a simple challenge: evaluate where your pig receives treats and begin moving all treats and people food to your pig's designated feeding area. This small change can prevent years of unwanted behaviors and help ensure your pig remains a happy, respectful member of the family.

You spent time and love building your brand, choosing your colors, your fonts, the feeling you want clients to have when they land on your website. But have you ever thought of your editing as part of that same visual identity? In this episode, guest host Shannon Griffin sits down with professional photo editor Nina Cornelison to talk about why the way you edit is just as much your brand as your logo, and how getting clear on your visual direction can finally solve the consistency struggles so many photographers face.

Can shockwave therapy and peptides work better together than either one alone? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Gerald Morris to talk about why combining shockwave therapy with peptides may be one of the most overlooked approaches to injury recovery and tissue healing. We dive into the biology behind mechanotransduction, why treatment sequence matters, how peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500 fit into the picture, and why targeting the same repair pathways from different directions may produce better outcomes than either approach alone. https://chrisduffin.com/ Coaching, Peptides, Supplements, eBooks & Merch, Education, and my Free Community!

If you've been putting off running ads because you think you need a massive budget or an agency on retainer, this episode is going to change your mind. I brought on Meagan Buggey — a meta ad strategist who works with female coaches and service businesses — to break down exactly how affordable, simple ads can grow your Facebook group. We're covering: - Why "you need thousands of dollars to run ads" is one of the biggest myths out there (and what it actually costs to get started) - The Meta targeting feature that's quietly wasting people's ad budget without them knowing - Why writing ad copy is nothing like writing content — and the one rule that changes everything - The very Facebook-Group-specific mistake that can cost you access to your entire group P.S. Meagan just wrapped a full hour-long masterclass on this exact topic inside the Group Growth Club — the recording (plus her full checklist of resources) is in the membership now!

Thinking about adding another pig to your family? Or are your pigs suddenly fighting after years of living together peacefully? In this episode, Autumn breaks down the fascinating social dynamics of multi-pig households and explains why conflict between pigs is often completely normal. Learn why pigs don't instantly become friends, how hierarchy shapes their behavior, and why food competition can become a serious problem if it's not managed correctly. Autumn shares practical tips for introducing a new pig safely, including slow introductions, scent swapping, supervised interactions, and setting up your environment to help pigs succeed. She also explains why pigs that have lived together for years may suddenly begin fighting, what role fear and scent changes can play after veterinary visits or hoof trims, and how to help rebuild their relationship without making the situation worse.

The Motherhood Anthology Podcast: Photography Education for a Business You Love
A high-end client is not a zip code or an income bracket. She is someone who values photography, is willing to invest in you and your art, and she exists in your market right now. In this best-of episode, five conversations from the archive come together to answer one of the most-asked questions in our community: how do you actually attract luxury clients? In This Episode Why luxury is not a price tag, but what happens when your language, standards, client experience, and quality of work all line up in the same direction Ashlyn Carter's framework for finding your "onlyness," the differentiation that makes you the only choice in a market full of beautiful work Sean Low's reframe for the moment a prospect compares you to a $500 photographer, and why refusing to legitimize a business that is not yours changes the whole conversation Cassia Fletcher on identifying the clients who feel like friends instead of work, getting out into your community to find them, and letting go of the ones who are not yours Brittany Barb's pre-appointment mindset ritual and the confidence shift that took her from $500 all-inclusive sessions to her first $4,000 sale Elizabeth Messina on why the quality of your work is the foundation everything else is built on, and what it takes to create a business with real longevity Heard together, these five voices offer a complete picture of the mindset shift behind upmarket positioning. If you have been wondering whether high-end clients are available to you, this episode will show you they are, and exactly where to start.

Everyone wants better health, more energy, and higher performance. The problem is that most people are chasing the wrong things. In this episode, Martin Silva joins me to talk about the difference between looking healthy and actually being healthy. We dive into metabolic health, stress, recovery, body dysmorphia, burnout, productivity culture, nutrition, training, and why so many high performers end up sacrificing long-term health in the pursuit of success. This isn't another conversation about hacks. It's about building a body that performs well for decades. https://chrisduffin.com/ Coaching, Peptides, Supplements, eBooks & Merch, Education, and my Free Community!
