Description
Look, it's easy for us to get comfortable just going about things the way we normally do. But no one's life ever changed - and certainly no industry grew - by being ok with status quo. And so that brings us to an important conversation with photographer Scott Josuweit in today's episode. Scott has been in the industry for a bit, and he has some thoughts about how the photography industry can be better (online courses, anyone? ?). Join us for this thought-provoking conversation, and lend your own insights as well!
