From Being Madonna's Music Manager to Becoming Usher's Personal Photographer | Walid Azami
How do you become an influencer and start a 6-figure business after hitting rock bottom and having no money in the bank? Despite having no proper training or lessons in photography, Walid Azami did not stop working hard and learning the basics of photography. His intuition had him pick up this camera to take to a video shoot. This led him to be asked to be the personal photographer for Usher, which then had him become a social media influencer while running a 6-figure business, working with famous music artists such as Kanye...

Creativity is a Habit
A few weeks ago a shared a conversation on Clubhouse with photographers Ben Von Wong and Tim Tadder and I received a lot of positive feedback. If you're not familiar with Clubhouse, it's new social audio platform. It's currently still in beta, so access is still limited. So grateful to be able to record a couple of these and share them out so you can listen in. Today I'm back with hosts Walid Azami (@walid.azami) and Mathieu Young (@mathieuyoung) in a Clubhouse conversation talking about creativity and my book Creative Calling. Some things we get into:

Things Photographers Spend Too Much Time Talking About
Recently I joined photographers Ben Von Wong and Tim Tadder, along with hosts Walid Azami and Mathieu Young on Clubhouse to chat about "Things Photographers Spend Too Much Time Talking About". But this is not about photography widgets, lenses, and photo shoots. It's not even really specific to photography. This is about career choices. It's about following your heart. And of course - the title is tongue-in-cheek because it's actually about the stuff we don't talk about enough. Some things we get into: How to let go of goals that aren't serving us

#108: Billionaire Business Growth Principles with Steve Anderson
You know that I love a good business book. But I'm also very picky about who I have on this show to talk about their books. Because if it didn't really make an impact on me, then I'm not going to bring them on to go deep into the subject matter of the book. But this author truly changed the game for me this year. I’ve implemented a lot of the principles found in this book “The Bezos Letters” and our company has grown exponentially and we're on track to double our revenue again this year.
