How do you even know what's introvert-friendly if you're not one of us?”Here's the thing—what I'm sharing isn't just “Tash-approved.” These are strategies that are introvert-approved, too, and have helped so many of my clients and listeners who are introverts themselves. It's actually one of the most common things I hear: that people hold back from being consistent on social media because it's just too much. It can feel overwhelming, like too many eyes on you, too much “peopling,” as I hear again and again.But let's be real: in a lot of ways, the internet was built by introverts for introverts. And showing up online can be way more manageable than we think, especially when we set it up in a way that genuinely lights us up (and doesn't drain us). That's what I want to unpack today, step-by-step. Let's dive into what actually makes a social media strategy feel good (and productive!) if you're an introvert.Let's get started.Keep reading and grab the links at: tashcorbin.com/477Let me know your thoughts via our Text FanMail!Join me for my free workshop on 18th June - Resonate: Messaging that ignites action-takers.Register now at tashcorbin.com/resonate

This week, I'm recording late in the lounge with a glass of Irish whiskey, reflecting on the usual mix of chaos and joy in a photographer's life. Some good news first: the Mastering Portrait Photography podcast has landed in the https://podcast.feedspot.com/photography_podcasts/ https://podcast.feedspot.com/portrait_photography_podcasts/ https://podcast.feedspot.com/uk_photography_podcasts/   I share stories from a beautiful small wedding at Le Manoir, talk about how AI is both transforming and disrupting our industry (and how I'm using it to write useful code for the studio), and confess to completely changing my Instagram strategy so it actually makes me smile—feel free to check it out @paulwilkinsonphotography. The highlight? Racing through three days of corporate headshots in London, where the CEO arrives and my flash promptly refuses to fire—just classic timing. A reminder: knowing your kit inside-out and keeping calm is what clients are really paying for. If you fancy joining me in Oxford for a day of portraits, stories, and good company, there's still a spot on our next Location Portraits Workshop. https://masteringportraitphotography.com/resource/mastering-portrait-photography-on-location-in-oxford-9th-june-2025/ As ever: trust yourself, enjoy the process, and be kind to yourself. Cheers!   Transcript   Introduction and Setting the Scene Well, it's been a while since I've recorded a podcast quite like this, but I'm sitting in our lounge. It's late. I've got a glass of Irish whiskey for a change, which is just beautiful. All of my whiskeys have been bought by someone and I love that. I love sitting and thinking of someone, a family member or a friend. 'cause I enjoy, well, the smell and the taste. There's some, I dunno why I like whiskey so much. Um, I just do, there's something, I think it's 'cause my mom and dad liked it. And possibly because of that, I find there's something really magical about the smell and the taste and the color and just, I don't know, something that sat in a barrel for a decade or more just appeals to me, and it has been another busy week. It's Wednesday as I record this, and yet it feels like it's been the end of a week. Um, it's just, it always feels like I'm playing catch up, but I think that's just the nature of the job. When I worked at Accenture all of those years ago, I quite liked the project mentality. Although we were busy, we ramped up and up and up and up until eventually we got to the delivery date. And then of course, once it was delivered, you've got a week or two off all of that pressure built and built and built. It was to an end point. And I don't think, as a photographer, I felt like that since I left that world now it's just a constant churn of to-do lists, retouching shoots, being energized, even things like recording this podcast. You have to be really in the mood to do it, and I'm not always. There have been plenty of times when I've sat down to record something and even a large glass of 15-year-old single molt doesn't do it. However, I am here, it is late. So forgive me if I sort of tumble over some of my words, but I really wanted to get, um, an episode out. I'm Paul and this is the Mastering Portrait Photography

Social media strategy is more than just posting pretty pictures.At least that's what we say at Duet Social Media, the new agency, Abby Jiu and I cofounded during the winter.I had Abby on a few months ago to discuss 2025 social media trends, and we had an outstanding response from the audience. On today's episode, we talk about how to create a strategy for mid and long-term success based on more than just showcasing your portfolio in your IG grid.You'll take away from the conversation:Core components for a solid social strategyThe power of a personal brand story on IGSimple ways to engage your audience to boost your postsThree common misconceptions about social media in the wedding industry at the luxury levelGet ready for your head to get bigger - and hopefully your inbox fill with more ideal clients - in the next 40 minutes.

Episode Overview: In this high-impact episode, John Kitchens welcomes Kenny Truong back to the podcast. Kenny leads a powerhouse team based in the Bay Area, and they dive deep into how his team not only survived but thrived through volatile markets, maintaining 90% retention of top producers and innovating with AI and tech to stay ahead. They unwrap why deeper relationships, authentic leadership, and smart execution are non-negotiable in today's market. Kenny shares his real-world insights on agent retention, the evolution of marketing and social media strategies, AI integrations for real estate, and how high-velocity decision-making can 10X your business growth. If you're ready to lead through change, dominate market shifts, and build a real estate business for the future — you'll want to listen to this one all the way through. What You'll Learn: How Kenny's team kept 90% of top agents during a market downturn. Why scaling back events and going deeper with the team created explosive growth. How to reframe retention as re-recruiting your agents daily. Practical systems for agent communication, coaching, and performance tracking. Why authentic, raw content beats polished marketing on social platforms. How AI (like ChatGPT and tools like Fixer.ai) is reshaping client experience and productivity. Kenny's decision-making framework: move fast, learn faster. How to anticipate future consumer behavior and stay market-relevant. The power of creating a “culture of execution” inside your real estate business. Key Takeaways: Focus on the Fundamentals: Deeper personal connections > mass recruiting. AI is Here: Use it to elevate client experiences and agent workflows. Authenticity Wins: Raw, real content creates stronger consumer bonds than polished, scripted media. Move Fast: High-velocity decision-making beats over-planning every time. Retention is Re-Recruiting: The agents who stay are the agents you consistently pour into.

Susan Yara's journey to redefining skincare didn't start in a lab—it started in front of a camera. From reporting news in the Bronx to becoming a trusted beauty voice on YouTube, Susan built a community before she ever built a brand. With her platform Mixed Makeup, she offered something rare: expert-backed, educational content for women who were underserved by the beauty industry's hype-driven approach.But Susan wasn't just creating content. In 2019, she co-founded Naturium Skincare. Just four years later, she made headlines when she sold her company to e.l.f. Beauty for $355 million—and became one of the first content creators to successfully scale and exit a skincare brand.In this episode, Nancy and Susan go deep on the realities of building a digital-first beauty brand: funding operations before revenue, pivoting from an influencer to a founder mindset, and how it's so important to build authentic relationships with your community and retail partners. Susan shares the failures that shaped her, the influencer marketing tactics that actually work, and how she's balancing life as a founder, mom, and now solo parent.This is a story of vision, resilience, and reinvention. It's proof that you don't need to start with a perfect plan—you just need to start with purpose.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[03:12] Joining Forbes and building their first video network[04:55] Learning the power of early digital media[06:03] Getting into beauty and lifestyle content[07:24] Launching Mixed Makeup to serve older audiences[08:30] Early challenges funding high-quality content[09:45] Lessons from Susan's failed first business[11:15] Trying to bootstrap her own skincare brand[12:20] How COVID shut down her original plan[14:42] Joining Naturium and shaping brand direction[15:55] Why Susan moved away from “clean” marketing[17:02] Creating formulas that simplify skincare routines[18:08] Transitioning from influencer to business operator[19:20] Why pricing strategy matters for repeat customers[20:22] The shift in influencer strategy that changed everything[21:30] How nano influencers built authentic community[22:40] Using whitelisting to amplify UGC as ads[23:50] What brands get wrong about influencer selection[25:02] The power of founder-creator relationships[26:05] Getting into Target and making it work[27:15] Building a bold pitch retailers can't ignore[28:30] Launching Naturium body washes with intention[29:45] Hiring a CMO who can become your future CEO[30:58] The expanded role of modern CMOs[32:00] What to look for when hiring key leaders[33:12] Why Susan sold Naturium to e.l.f.
