Episode notes
There Is No Single Right Business Model
- Ignore industry dogma and pick the workflow (IPS, high-volume, a la carte) that fits your life and goals.
- Success can look different; you don't have to copy the industry's 'right' way.
Your Circle Shapes Your Business
- Surrounding yourself with supportive, challenging people reduces sleepless nights and doubt.
- You become a product of your environment, so choose peers who push you forward.

- Use camera preview modes to force creative constraints and improve composition.
