#35 | If you’re considering expanding into other genres and markets, you need to think about how to market your new work. Should you add a section to your website? Should you build a whole new website? Should you create a whole new brand identity and start from scratch? These are important considerations but I think the answers are pretty easy, albeit not necessarily straightforward.

#34 | With the new year fast approaching, we’re all thinking about what business is going to look like next year. We’ve got questions. We probably all have an idea about what we want our year to look like and we’re thinking about resolutions, for ourselves and for our businesses.

But how often have we set resolutions at the beginning of the year and then fail to follow through within the first month? First week? Maybe even the first day? I used to be one of those people. That was before I discovered the power of SMART goals.

I’d argue that we want to work with people who are fans of what we do, who love what we do, and who want us to have a positive impact on their lives. It’s why we need to define our ideal client and create work for the people we want to help and make sure we focus on reaching those people.

Yesterday, I received an email from Instagram asking me if I had requested a password reset. I knew immediately what was happening and, thankfully, I had actually prepared for it earlier this year. Someone was trying to hijack my account.

In this episode, I'll talk about why their attempt failed, how to secure all of your social media accounts and websites, and why you need a password manager like LastPass to secure your accounts, financial data, and even your own identity.

In this episode, I examine the concept of "the right way" vs "the wrong way" to create a photograph, and why your choices should be driven by intention, not what someone on YouTube or in a Facebook comment tells you "wrong."
