Most of us are single-operators, solo entrepreneurs. Which makes it difficult to expand the reach of our marketing. But here's a thought: have you reached out to other single operations like yourself? Folks who are in a different business, but targeting many of the same people? Clothing stores. Pet boutiques. Salons. Car dealerships. The list goes on an on. In this episode, we chat about the power of collaborating with other businesses to achieve mutual success.

Will the new global shutter Sony A9III set the photography world spinning? Dan is one of the first pros to get his hands on one, and it looks like it is a gamechanger. As in, all of the rules just changed, especially with off-camera flash. Learn more about this major new camera and what it might mean for the future. And find out what made Michael call a hopefully small group of pedantic photographers "dumb@$$es". (Hopefully, you're not in that group.) :)

We chat about the reasons why and offer some ideas on how to get clients to listen.
