Podcasts about headshots

Nick Gregan has been doing photography for thirty years andis a headshot photographer. Nick thinks working in a niche works well and helps build your business. For twenty years, Nick specialised in actors starting in their careers, so he worked in a niche within a niche. He says that with the camera technology, lots of people are entering the headshot market without necessarily having the relevant skills. Nick says headshots are something everyone can do, in terms of it's a picture of the head and shoulders. But the subtle differences between taking headshots for different people with different roles make a big difference. Marcus asks howyou differentiate those images. Nick says initially he needs to get to know the client and needs to know how the client wants to be seen. Nick says the thing he also does is give people options, so he might take some images people don'texpect but might like. Nick says acting headshots are really important; they can make the difference between getting auditions and good roles and not being noticed. He says he has helped many actors come to him when they are not getting auditions. He takes their headshot, and then they start to get auditions and roles. Nick explains that the first image people see of you makes a big difference to the way people see you. They will form an impression of you based on that message.So your LinkedIn profile image will make a big difference in how people see you and what they think about you. Nick says the LinkedIn profile photography market is growing as people are becoming more aware of this. Sam asks about his business model in terms of pricing and volume. Nick says he used to do ten or twelve people a week. However, he decided to put his prices up. So he photographs fewer people, but charges more for it. His ideal session isabout 2 hours with an actor or an hour for a corporate headshot. Nick uses a technique called rapid rapport to quickly build a rapport with the client. The conversation starts as a conversation between him and the client, but it moves on to what is effectively a conversation between the client and the person viewing the photograph. Sometimes he does photographs for celebrities, and he has to work on these very quickly and build rapport within a minute or two. He also usesscenarios with clients to help them get into the right move and pose.  Sam asks Nick how to convey his value. He says his imagesdo, his website does, and his blogs do. Nick works hard on SEO, keeping his website at the top of Google Search. He doesn't have an online booking system, so people talk to him before booking. He uses this opportunity to show he is an expert. He pitched himself as an artisan and an expert who gives a luxuryservice. He sends these messages out on LinkedIn, Google My Business and on his website. On his website, he has a lot of location-specific pages that generate work for him. For example, “Headshot photographer Wimbledon”. Nick is working on a book for photographers. Marcus asks if Nick can give us some tips for creating the perfect headshot. 1. Look at the light. Don't just set it up as standard, look at it for subtle adjustments.2. Get to know your client. Essentially, you need to let yourclient know that you are an expert and are confident.3. Capture the person's personality. Make sure they are showing emotion.You can reach out to Nick on ⁠⁠LinkedIn here⁠⁠Or⁠ ⁠⁠find his website here⁠.⁠⁠To get the Shoot to the Top Podcast in your inbox every week, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠And to join the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shoot to the Top Facebook group head here.⁠⁠⁠

Welcome to episode 82 of the Make Dance Fun Podcast! Today, we're kicking off a brand-new series called Five Fun Things—a collection of episodes where we'll share creative ways to bring more FUN into different parts of your dance season. Because, after all, our mission is to help you Make Dance Fun!In this episode, we're focusing on five fun things you can do during company intensives, summer camps, choreography weeks, or anytime your company dancers are spending extra time together. These ideas are geared specifically toward team bonding, motivation, and building studio culture—and they've all been tested and loved at our own studio.Here are the 5 Fun Things we're diving into:1. Outside-the-Studio Adventures From pool parties and popsicles to mini golf and roller skating, getting dancers out of the studio helps them connect in a totally different way. These casual hangouts create space for conversations and camaraderie. Add in a fun challenge like a scavenger hunt or team craft to encourage interaction with someone new.2. Motivational Prizes A little surprise can go a long way. Stock up on fun finds from the Target dollar aisle or similar spots, and hand them out as rewards for hard work, leadership, or positive attitudes. We've done custom prizes like the Happy Rhythm Hippo or Sharp Rhythm Shark, often paired with a snack and a fun graphic. These are great for staff to hand out—or even let dancers nominate each other!3. Headshots & Posters We love taking individual headshots of our company dancers and creating colorful, branded posters for display at events. It adds a level of professionalism and pride. Group shots are great too if time allows. We include this in our company fees and use the photos throughout the season.4. Get-to-Know-You Games A great icebreaker activity to build connections. You can DIY fun superlatives or prompts like “Most likely to win a tap battle” or “Always has snacks.” These spark laughter and help dancers get off their phones and into real conversations. We're actually working on releasing this activity as a digital download soon!5. Team Goal Setting & Vision Boards Whether you're guiding individual dancers or small groups, vision boards are a meaningful way to set goals together. Give them a worksheet, or let them cut and paste from magazines, printouts, or Pinterest. We've done this at the studio and even off-site at art studios. The goal is for them to collaborate on something visual that can hang in the studio and remind them of their shared purpose. Group photos add a nice personal touch.Our Favorite Team Bonding Memory? A Barbie-themed night at Avalon—complete with dinner, a scavenger hunt, games, crafts, friendship bracelets, and a photo shoot. It was pink, fun, and unforgettable!We hope today's episode inspires you to incorporate a few of these ideas into your own intensives, rehearsals, or company gatherings. Not only do they build stronger teams—they also make for great content. Capture the moments and share them through a reel, TikTok, vlog, or photo carousel. These are the things that highlight your studio's personality and set you apart.Thanks so much for listening. We'll be back next week with another fun and creative episode of the Make Dance Fun Podcast!Let's Get Social!

Wes Wheless helps solo consultants bottle their secret sauce.  To do so, Wes offers two services: The NicheFinder Sprint and The IP Builder Sprint. He believes that consultants need to identify a niche or specialization and a unique approach to serving that niche, typically codified into intellectual property (IP). Each sprint is delivered one-on-one over 1-2 weeks. Niche Finder Explained NicheFinder is designed for early-stage solo consultants who are struggling to narrow down their niche. It involves working one-on-one to identify their zone of genius and then lay out potential ICPs. The client and the consultant come up with three specific ICPs, which are then run through a custom GPT that runs a detailed viability analysis on each lane.  The GPT also derives three additional ICPs based on context and evaluates their viability as well.  With an identified niche, the consultant can now decisively focus on building a market position around that specific problem and buyer. Examples of Niche Consulting Wes shares an example of a client whose determined niche is fractional CMO for B2C subscription companies that have hit a growth plateau and have not invested in brand marketing.  Another example is a client who went solo from a boutique consulting firm that specializes in change management. Her genius zone was being the translation layer between strategic vision and operational teams. She had a keen understanding of internal issues and also helped new executives acclimate to their roles. The GPT analysis suggested that she should focus on innovation teams running pilots but not getting traction due to organizational resistance. Wes explains that the GPT analysis includes 12 viability factors, including access, lifetime value, competitive alternatives, and target revenue numbers. These factors help narrow down options and identify red flags, ultimately leading to a more viable solution. Sourcing Consulting Opportunities Before Niching Down The discussion explores the approach of starting with potential buyers from your existing network, rather than relying on staffing firms or referrals. Will suggests starting with decision makers or influencers. This approach can help you identify your potential universe of buyers and determine what services they are willing to pay for. Wes adds that this approach can help you learn about selling yourself and what people are interested in. However, Wes points out that it can also lead to triangulating into a specialty that might not be interesting or appropriate for you. If you continue to work for anyone who will hire you at the moment, you may end up working in areas where you don't have much business taking on that kind of work. Identifying and Validating a Consulting Niche Wes discusses the process of developing a niche through the NicheFinder sprint. He emphasizes the importance of having a strong understanding of the client's pain points and interests before proceeding with the niche finder. Wes suggests that the process should be followed by market validation conversations, where potential clients can share their ideas and validate their interest in the service. This process should take around three to five conversations. Wes suggests changing the LinkedIn headline and content to be specific to the identified problem. He also suggests codifying relevant IP and developing visual assets that can be shared. The IP Builder Sprint and Intellectual Headshots Wes suggests that consultants should have served at least two or three clients within their niche before starting the IP Builder sprint. Wes suggests that consultants should display their expertise prominently through visual assets, which Wes calls intellectual headshots. These are instantly digestible visual articulations of your expertise that can prompt and streamline conversations. They can be distributed at scale and can look like typical consulting frameworks. Some clients have created headshots that look like comic strips or memes, which can open up dialogue and help clients see their problem or pain point. In conclusion, The IP Builder Sprint is a valuable investment for consultants to showcase their expertise and engage clients. By creating intellectual headshots, consultants can instantly telegraph their unique expertise, ultimately leading to elevated sales conversations and more client conversions. Examples of Client Intellectual Headshots Wes shares examples of client intellectual headshots. The first quickly communicates the five service models and personas in the consulting industry. The framework is designed to help consultants understand their roles and potential career paths. Another example is a line chart showing the client mix over time, with a warm network starting at zero and gradually increasing. Word of mouth referrals also increase over time, but the social plateau indicates that word of mouth referrals will eventually hit an asymptote. Wes then presents a client example,, a fractional general counsel for B2B SaaS companies. Mark wanted to address the stereotype that lawyers are not liked and can gum up the process. They created a visual to illustrate this point, using a skier jumping off a ski ramp to demonstrate that lawyers can build momentum rather than kill deals. This humorous approach makes fun of the stereotype and encourages clients to focus on building momentum rather than killing deals. In this discussion, Wes Wheless and Will Bachman discuss their approach to business and the importance of memorable and easily digestible content. They discuss the Grim Reaper, a humorous concept that addresses the elephant in the room and highlights the co-creative nature of the sprint. They also discuss Mark's ability to speed up the sales contract process, which is crucial for closing deals faster and increasing sales revenue. Mark's approach is not about charging by the hour but about making sure deals close, rather than covering his own assets or inflating his billable hours. He uses simple, clear language to convey his main point, making it easy for people to understand and remember.  The final topic discussed is the sale contract process, which can lead to deals losing due to the lack of a clear and concise presentation. Mark's approach focuses on shrinking the contract process, reducing the risk of losing the deal once it's won. This differentiation with Mark and his ideas can lead to increased revenue and better deals for the company. The Benefits of the Intellectual Headshot Wes highlights the importance of posting these assets on LinkedIn and other platforms to ensure they reflect the work done. Wes also emphasizes the role of visuals in reducing pressure on consultants, especially new ones, who may feel anxious about speaking their expertise. By providing a simple visual that serves as a common ground for conversation, it allows consultants to focus on the main points of the conversation without having to deliver a lengthy spiel. On the client side, Wes emphasizes the importance of reducing cognitive load and freeing up time for the discussion.  Timestamps: 0:02: Introduction to Wes Wheless and His Services  01:11: Details of the Niche Finder Program  12:43: Implementation and Validation of Niche Finder Results  20:53: Introduction to IP Builder and Intellectual Headshots  32:43: Examples of Intellectual Headshots  Links: Website: developmyip.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wwheless/ The Lightbulb daily newsletter for solo consultants: developmyip.com/daily   Unleashed is produced by Umbrex, which has a mission of connecting independent management consultants with one another, creating opportunities for members to meet, build relationships, and share lessons learned.

What does it take to build a multi-million dollar AI startup from scratch, without raising a cent?In this episode of Liftoff, we sit down with Ricardo Ghekiere, the founder of BetterPic, the viral AI platform creating professional headshots in minutes. Bootstrapped from $0 to $4 million in just 15 months, Ricardo shares the real story behind BetterPic's explosive growth from Belgium to the global stage.

What if you could turn everyday selfies into professional-grade headshots, without the awkward photo shoot or expensive photographer? In the latest episode of "A Better HR Business", Ricardo Ghekiere, Co-Founder of BetterPic, reveals how he scaled the company from $1.5K to $281K/month, by combining AI, bold marketing hacks, and a relentless focus on culture and customer trust. Ricardo didn't start BetterPic - he bought it for $1 when it was struggling. Through smart positioning, affiliate marketing, and 24/7 human support (yes, even for an AI product), he transformed it into a market leader. Ricardo's experience offers invaluable guidance for those growing an HR tech or consulting business. In a wide-ranging discussion on the A Better HR Business podcast, Ricardo and I talked about: ✅ Buying BetterPic (www.betterpic.io) instead of founding it, and what to consider when acquiring a business. ✅ The rapid growth of AI-generated headshots and what's driving demand. ✅ Why building a full team (not just solo hacking) gave BetterPic an edge. ✅ Embracing full transparency with your team: metrics, mistakes, and all. ✅ Industries beyond headshots that are ripe for AI transformation. ✅ Using customer behavior and data to guide product expansion. ✅ Rocardo's marketing advice for HR-related business leaders. ✅ And much more.

  Topics: JFK Assassination Research / Luna Task Force The JFK Assassination Chokeholds: - That Prove There Was a Conspiracy JFK Assassination Chokeholds (@JFKChokeholds) / X Why Are We Still Declassifying JFK Records? Critical ARRB Final Determinations Buried and Ignored The Biden/CIA Attempt to Usurp Congress' Authority Over JFK Records Read Article Ex-Govt Employee Tells Congress JFK X-Rays 'Actually Reveal A Total Of 3 Headshots,' Records Missing Watch Doug Horne Testimony Video L'ASSASSINAT DE JFK L'IRREFUTABLE: Les preuves sans appel d'un complot: Pruchase Here The JFK Assassination Chokeholds: That Prove There Was a Conspiracy: Purchase Book Here Internal CIA memo regarding HSCA JFK files docid-32404131.pdf Read Here Len jumps right in to the interview, asking Andrew how he feels about the Luna Committee. Andrew is truly impressed so far! With the broad mandate, will investigators distract from the focus that is needed in the JFK assassination research? The Luna Task Force is the first government committee to investigate federal secrets since the ARRB disbanded in 1998. The RFK & MLK assassinations, 9/11, Epstein files etc. are all falling under the Luna Task Force. The Commission hearing on April 1st featured the spectacular panel with Oliver Stone, Jim DiEugenio & Jefferson Morley. Len reflects how in the past, people have had their hopes dashed with the controlled investigations of the HSCA, ARRB etc.. Sadly, the heads of these government committees believe that LHO was the lone assassin, no need to really investigate. Andrew explains that some people have been critical of the Luna Task Force to date. Andrew feels things could be worse. People are tired of the Lone Assassin cover story! JFK researchers and the American public, want the truth! A large portion of the public very is vocal and impatient while waiting for the release of the Epstein Files! On May 20, 2025 Doug Horne, who was the chief military analyst for the ARRB, testified about JFK’s autopsy evidence. Up until now, the American public had never seen a broadcast of this medical evidence; JFK had 3 head wounds. The Bethesda medical evidence from the autopsy was suppressed by the HSCA & the Warren Commission investigations. The primary witnesses who went in front of Congress include Abraham Bolden, Dan Hardway & Judge Tunheim. Doug Horne's testimony to the Luna Task Force has almost a million views on Forbes' Youtube channel. Len enjoyed how the Luna Task Force set out with a big punch, with Oliver Stone & Jim DiEugenio speaking first. The exposure of the Luna committee has helped change the national dialogue of the JFK assassination. Concerned citizens are taking the time to read through the documents in efforts to connect the dots. Andrew, a Canadian lawyer from Ontario, was thrilled to meet Oliver Stone, the Grand Daddy of current JFK investigators! With Oliver's bringing his star power to the hearing, and his demand for a new investigation, people's attention was captured. Combine Oliver's interview, with Doug Horne's sworn testimony about the medical evidence, the pressure is on. Oliver Stones' JFK movie was the catalyst to creating the majority of today's generation of JFK assassination researchers. Andrew has been interested in the Kennedy assassination for years, focusing in on the JFK Assassination Records Act. October 26, 2017 was the deadline for JFK records to be released. In 2017 CIA Director Mike Pompeo had influence over President Trump, stalling the release of the JFK files until 2015. Once there was interference from Pompeo and stalling of the JFK files release, Andrew drilled down on the law, researching. Mark and Adam discovered many of the provisions in the JFK Records Act had not been complied with. This lead to Andrew helping to draft a law suit with Mark Adamcyzk against President Biden to have the records released...

For years, fighting was on the decline in the National Hockey League and traditional enforcers lost their place on the roster. But is fighting coming back? It certainly was in that Four Nations Canada/USA game in Montreal, where there were three fights in nine seconds. Is that moment a turning point for fighting in the game? We've also seen our share of brutal headshots in the Stanley Cup Playoffs so far. Is the league succeeding at all in cutting down on those? Guests include: Ryan Pinder, co-host of Barn Burner Podcast at Flames Nation; Sean McIndoe, Senior NHL writer at The Athletic and co-host of two podcasts: Puck Soup and The Athletic Hockey Show; Mary Ormsby, Toronto Star journalist for 35 years; and Ken Campbell, Freelance hockey writer and a long-time writer at The Hockey News.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
