Running a profitable photography business is tough, but my guest in this episode proves that it can also be wildly profitable—if you take full responsibility for how you run it.Meet Allison Tyler Jones, CPP, Master Craftsman, educator, photographer, author of four books, and host of the REWork Podcast. I have to say that how she shares her vast knowledge and the foundations of a successful business, in a clear and super fun way, makes this a “must listen more than once” way. According to Allison, is not your average photographer. She does not sell printable digital files, but she does run one of the most profitable portrait studios in the country. Instead of quick-turnaround sessions, she creates large-format wall art, family galleries, and custom albums designed specifically for her clients' homes. Her signature style? A mix of lifestyle, commercial, and a little bit of chaos—what she calls "Art That Happens to Be Your Family."In this episode, we're getting real about what it takes to build a thriving photography business, including:How shifting to a value-based model attracts better clients and bigger salesThe importance of taking full responsibility for every aspect of your businessHow setting clear client expectations leads to long-term successWhy staying in touch with your clients every year is the smartest way to have a solid businessAllison's advice is direct, practical, and refreshingly honest. She's here to challenge the way photographers think about pricing, client relationships, and profitability—because at the end of the day, success comes down to one thing: Owning it.Bonus! Allison is giving away her Time-Blocking Tool—because let's be honest, we could all use a little more time and a lot more structure.

In a suburban garage in Alberta, Canada, Brandon Hegedus builds eye-popping replicas of some of the world's rarest and most desirable performance cars. We're talking cars that virtually no one can own because they are either so rare or valuable that the only option is to recreate them.It all started as a personal challenge to replicate a 1961 Ferrari Tipo 156 "Sharknose" Formula 1 car (the originals no longer exist). Using modern materials like carbon fiber, Brandon recreated the iconic Sharknose bodywork. Underneath, he used modern mechanicals that approximated the original performance of the Tipo 156, all tied to a scratch built frame. The result was a screamer of a car with stunning looks.That first build got the attention of the media and created fantastic opportunities. Brandon is now a full-time builder who's bringing his clients' dream cars to life.Follow Brand Hegedus on Instagram  @howisthatstreetlegalSUPPORT THE POD:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/hpheritageSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:http://modelcitizendiecast.comFIND US ON THE WEB:https://www.horsepowerheritage.comInstagram: @horsepowerheritageSupport the showSubscribe to the Horsepower Heritage YouTube channel for more great cars and motorcycles! https://www.youtube.com/@horsepowerheritage8030

For Christians, the central event in history and in universe is the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. This killing of God (or deicide) is so mysterious and terrible that it's hard to even approach: what kind of a God would choose to be tortured and murdered by his rebellious creatures? Pastor Brian Zahnd's poetic theology of the Cross (in The Wood between the Worlds) takes a kaleidoscopic approach, which turns this way and that, until that terrible cross reflects the light of God that dazzles with coruscating beauty.

For the final episode of our collaborative podcast series with Denman Professional, I'm sitting down for a conversation with the iconic British barber, Mike Taylor. From launching his first barbershop in Newbury at the age of 20 to spearheading the renowned Bonds barbershop chain and three training academies, Mike's journey is nothing short of inspiring. As the founder of the British Barbers Association and the UK's first barbering Master Craftsman, Mike brings a wealth of experience to the table.  We are to delve into the current landscape of the barbering industry and tackle pressing issues faced by barbers today. Our conversation takes a special focus on education, exploring how to promote apprenticeships in barbering and the significance of recognised qualifications versus self-taught methods on platforms like YouTube. Yes YouTube!! Mike Taylor shares his thoughts on breaking barriers for aspiring barbers, offering guidance on how young people can enter the field and emphasising the importance of a formal education. We also hear how he has been a catalyst for positive change, lobbying the council for funding to support a class of learners who often fall through the cracks between school and all, by developing a barbering student kit. But thats not all! Mike is to share with us about the launch of the "Generation Barber" event next year, a groundbreaking initiative for college students, sponsored by Denman Professional.

A couple of years ago, Kelli Stuart was diagnosed with breast cancer after she went in for a routine mammogram and it did not go the way she expected. Once Kelli got her diagnosis she wanted to find one thing in her life that she could control.  Like a lot of women that I know and love, Kelli is a doer and a fixer. She talked to all of the doctors and did the treatments that they recommended, but she also wanted to do more. She wanted to know more.  While Kelli was waiting for her treatments to do their thing, she went down a deep rabbit hole of cancer influencers. Some of it was helpful, because finding community when you are going through it can be a wonderful thing. But some of it got dark, and unhelpful, and even scary.  Some of the influencers she found were recommending treatments that were so expensive people were mortgaging their homes. I asked her to come on today to share her personal story with diving into this cancer influencer rabbit hole and the moment that she realized she had to dig herself out of it.Hello Fresh is our sponsor this week.

Notes and Links to Donovan X. Ramsey's Work    For Episode 192, Pete welcomes Donovan X. Ramsey, and the two discuss, among other things, his early relationship with language, formative and transformative writers like bell hooks, Zora Neale Hurston, Phillip Roth, Colson Whitehead, and the inimitable Toni Morrison, connotations and legal policies that are products of the mythmaking and propagandizing of the “crack era,” the emblematic stories of the people followed in Donovan's book, historical precedent for the over policing and oppression of Black people in the US, and optimism and pessimism to be seen in the stories of the crack era and of today.      Donovan X. Ramsey is a journalist, author, and an indispensable voice on issues of identity, justice, and patterns of power in America. His reporting has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, GQ, WSJ Magazine, Ebony, and Essence, among other outlets. He has been a staff reporter at the Los Angeles Times, NewsOne, and theGrio.

One of the fallacies in our day is that all religions are pretty much the same. But the fact is, Christianity stands alone and apart. For one thing, no other major religion takes its stand and stakes its reputation on the bodily resurrection of its founder.  The resurrection of Jesus changed everything.  This is why the Apostle Paul gave his life to spreading the news, not only of the reality of the resurrection but also of the relevance of the resurrection to our everyday lives. In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul tells these believers that he is praying that they would know God's “incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead…”  The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to us who believe! Here! Now! Today!  If God can raise Jesus from the dead, what else can He do? Those impossibilities which, like a massive stone, appear to blockade your destiny can still be moved by resurrection power.   Not only is there a power to be released, there's a purpose to be realized.   We are the personal creation of a loving God. True, we all too quickly became broken by sin.  But something extraordinary happens when light shines through broken pieces of glass.  It becomes a work of art.  Such is the wonder of the Master Craftsman. He not only redeems, He restores.     Text: 1 Cor. 15:3-8, 14-19; Eph. 1:18-2:10Originally recorded on April 8, 2007, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN.

In this weeks BONUS EPISODE, we chat with CEO and Founder of Maglio Knives, Brandon Hampton. Brandon has been developing blades for the culinary world & military for well over a decade. Known for his unique,  one of a kind blades, there is no question he err 's on the side of innovation. His entire business is built around sourcing, creating, and using the best possible materials for the knives he designs and creates.  You don't want to miss Aaron chatting with one of the worlds best knife-smiths! Art comes in many forms.  For my guest this week, it is in the form of designing and crafting masterpiece knives.  Master Knife Craftsman, Brandon Hapmton, is a skilled artisan with decades of experience in the art of knife making. He transforms raw materials into stunning, one-of-a-kind knives that are both beautiful and functional.  In college, Brandon began working at Strider Knives to help pay for his studies. While working, Duane Dwyer took him under his wing, eventually apprenticing Brando in learning the craft of knife making. Materials technology, blade geometry, metallurgy, and more were handed down from the master bladesmith to Brandon over the course of over five years. Above all else, Brandon learned from Duane that in the end, the knife should be better for the effort put in. What we chat about in this episode: 0:28 - Guest intro 2:59 - Brandon's journey in Jiu Jitsu 5:50 - What is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? 9:49 - How BJJ is related to psychological healing 12:17 - How Brandon's love for cooking to his knife-making business 19:11 - Artistry VS Creativity 24:45 - Understanding the beauty of Meglio Knives 31:57 - Brandon reveals his VIP tattoo clients 38:58 - What is Meglio Knives' passion project 42:41 - How tattoos can make people happy 49:13 - How finding character and excellence has helped Brandon in his career 53:10 - Brandon gets a new tattoo! Quotes:    “I think in order to get good at jujitsu, the first thing you need to do is be really good at not being good at something… ‘Is that comfortable for you?' And, that discomfort is either going to lead you to go well, ‘I want to overcome this,' or it's going to say, ‘I don't like people seeing me in this vulnerable situation,'… And you have to be okay with not being good in front of other people. And it takes a long time to get better.' - Meglio Knives    “I love art. But to me, art is more about eliciting emotional responses whereas craft to me is a little bit more about creating something with a given function. And I am not making a qualitative judgment. It's about going with spirit.” - Meglio Knives    “There's a difference between those two things: creativity and artistry. Artistry might be more of someone who can sculpt or paint like creativity, that's decision-making. You made decisions that others wouldn't have and a lot of the decisions I can tell right now were the right ones…” - Aaron Della Vedova   “Tattoo matters.” - Aaron Della Vedova Useful Resources:   Sign up for Meglio Knives' newsletter here.
