Caitie McCabe started with photography at age 11. What started as a childhood obsession grew into her business. From war photography, to teaching, to apple retail Caitie has tried a bit of everything. After dabbling she understood that she should take her passion to photography to the next level.
Becoming a founder took hard work and an understanding that she is the business which is completely separate from just being an artist. Caitie is an amazing example that when you want to turn your passion into a career you find a way, you make mistakes, but Caitie's big take away: being an entrepreneur takes an extreme amount of effort.

Roman had major success in the past (he did the sales marketing for bands like backstreet boys in the 90’s, and worked on other major projects) He did not stop and always kept his hustle and hard work going. Roman has a unique perspective on being able to rest and recharge even with an insane work ethic (i.e. 12 hours of work a day).
The juxtaposition of Roman's no phone hours, his no e-mail strategy, and his discovery in the simplicity of how a simple phone call can put you in front of people so easily at times are just some of the many nuanced lessons Roman has developed over the years. Roman has had significant success over his life but still is working harder than ever, he is insanely in love with what he does and is currently working to disrupt AI and striving to make tech more accessible and healthy for the coming generation.
