Andy Brown is a speaker, coach, and author of 'The Emotional Overdraft'. He wrote his book after hundreds of conversations with leaders, entrepreneurs and founders – all of which pointed to the fact that every single one of them was – to some extent or another - subsidising their business success at the cost of their own physical or mental wellbeing (what he calls their ‘emotional overdraft’).
Andy feels that by networking you can build your own personal business board around you, which will help reduce some of the stresses of entrepreneurship, and keep you out of the emotional overdraft.

www.parkaandbootsphotography.com www.linkedin.com/in/feliciachavasse https://calendly.com/fleephotography/photography-and-chats https://www.instagram.com/parka_and_boots_photography https://www.facebook.com/ParkaandBootsPhotography Profile: I have been passionate about photography since my university days, spending many hours in the darkroom!
I am now very much a digital photographer! I enjoy my shoots and clients greatly and also my students; teaching people how to use their DSLR cameras, coaxing them off “auto” and onto “manual”. Stretching their creative capabilities!
My USP is essential 'Personal Brand Photography', helping business leaders/owners and entrepreneurs to share their stories through the medium of digital imagery. My style is natural in its posing and lighting and lighthearted, not heavy - a softer look to your business.
Whilst I specialise in working with professionals from the Garden Design, food, health and well-being industries, I have been fortunate to have worked with people from a wide variety of commercial backgrounds, helping them to grow their businesses through a strengthened connection with their audience.This episode is kindly sponsored by ONLE - the network for people who like people!

After her corporate career ended during Covid, she turned her profitable side-hustle into fully fledged wedding photography business. Whilst she loved this, she knew something wasn't quite right (and it had little to do with the number of Ed Sheeran songs she had to listen to!) In January 2023 she took the decision to pivot her business, completely cut off her numerous wedding leads and exclusively offer business and branding photography.
She now offers personal branding photography to solopreneurs, branding photography to small businesses and corporate headshots to larger companies who prefer to have a photographer on-site. she also offers e-commerce product photography in a studio setting for her business customers with an online store.

In 2015, Debra decided to leave the corporate world and do something. Exactly what she was going to do was somewhat unclear! She decided to focus on smaller businesses and see if she could use her experience to support them. Having set up a website, she realised that she needed to get the message out which led to her joining various networking groups - a new and, initially somewhat uncomfortable, experience!
As her business progressed, Debra - like so many of us - tried to find her niche. Starting her own podcast in 2018 marked a turning point in her services. Recognising the challenges and obstacles that we can face when starting a podcast, Debra now provides 3 distinct services: Podcast Start, Podcast Refresh and Podcast Connect.
