260 A Conversation with: Phil Van Nostrand

This is the first of a series of conversations, called "A Conversation with," beginning with photographer Phil Van Nostrand. Phil was first interviewed by Andy on 12/3/18 (see link below). Taking good care of ourselves, during this pandemic, is critical to our mental and physical health. Although Phil had been traveling 100-200 days per year, he has adapted fairly well to living as we now know it. Andy and Phil discuss whether or not they feel fear about their finances and what their perspectives are on the topic. Phil brings up a discussion on mini-matrimonies for clients and the mini-wedding society for the B2B market. They also discuss the need for pivoting and reinventing themselves doing what they love and feel passionate about. Andy takes this opportunity to announce the launch of The Wedding Biz Network, featuring leading voices across the wedding and events industries exploring topics with and gaining inspiration from other industry leaders and upcoming notables. The first Network member, who launched his show on the 26th, is Sean Low of The Business Of Being Creative.  And Phil mentions the mastermind group he's started as well as discovering old passions.  Listen in to gain inspiration from these two industry experts as they examine how to best get through the current pandemic.  Resources: Phillipvn Photography Website http://www.larousseshoppe.com Instagram: @phillipvnweddings Phillip Van Nostrand Facebook Phillip on the Wedding Biz The Wedding Biz Instagram: @weddingbizshow
