Unfiltered with Kyle Goldie

Oddly controversial, wedding photographers don't believe Kelly that she has booked 95 weddings for one calendar year - and even if so, they are flabbergasted when even thinking about mental & physical health throughout it -- especially considering Kelly does not use associates, and she edits her own work. In this podcast episode, I've not only rebranded to an entirely new name (Unfiltered with Kyle Goldie), but I wanted to come in with an incredible guest to dive deep on such an unusual story. We hold nothing back, so as always - dig in. Check out Kelly's work here.

If you've been considering starting an online course and you've been wondering how to do it - this episode won't tell you how. But it will tell you what other educators aren't saying. I go into detail about various things that you should be taking into consideration as you make an informed decision.  One thing I want to share with you right away - starting a course is NOT a way to get into passive revenue. So, if passive income is what your goal is, do NOT start an online course. Tune in and listen to the honest and ugly side of being a course creator, and the real insights about what it takes on the back-end. It's much, much more than just selling it.

There's been a lot of hearsay and speculation about the wedding industry and it evolving into something new and mysterious. Well, I wanted to get a firm answer based on real, raw data.

This includes photographers, planners, filmmakers, hair & makeup artists, day-of-coordinators, wedding venue owners, and so many other talented people. And what I found across the board was that there’s a common feeling – and the biggest of all is that most people are feeling a pinch of the market becoming more and more saturated. And you know what, they’re not wrong. Listen in here to hear why I think they’re right, what could be improved on, and what to do to stay ahead of the curve.

On this episode, I have an in-depth discussion with well-known educator and photographer, Susan Stripling, on the raw, real, and authentic perspective of the industry. Far, far away from the typical industry politics. It's an incredibly refreshing chat.  And we go into SO much detail, that this is by far my longest, most informative, and most valuable episode I have ever done (to date). Make sure to give it a listen.

If you are a coach or educator in the online space, it can feel crowded. And over time, you will see a thousand new courses pop up around you. Some are priceless and completely invaluable, whereas others are not worth the time it takes to go through them.
