Getting into Education ETHICALLY with Laylee Emadi


One of the most frequent questions I get asked is how to get into education and coaching. 
 
It’s no secret that there’s a huge population of photographers who eventually seem to ‘graduate’ from making their money from photography, to making money from education and coaching. And dang, they make it look good! 
 
But as I’ve added revenue streams to my business and started to scale my own education business, I’ve realized that it’s a lot more complicated than how it looks. 
 
Honestly, this conversation is really nuanced, which makes it perfect for a podcast episode. And I thought there was no better conversation to share than one I had a few months ago on my friend Laylee Emadi’s podcast, So, Here’s the Thing.

This episode of Take It Personally is a republished episode straight from So, Here’s the Thing, and we’re talking all about what it looks like to pivot into education, and how to do it ethically.
