#078 - Growing a business from scratch is tough. Especially when you're also trying to build up the skills to do the work your future clients need you to do at the same time.

In this podcast episode I talk with my wife Jen Wojcik about how she built and scaled her wedding photography business into a full-time job over the course of 6 years after moving to a new city and not having photographed a wedding ever before.

If you're looking to grow a client based business, there is a lot in this episode to learn from.

We discuss building up your portfolio, landing a gig as a second shooter, and how to land the clients you dream of working for.
