E77: Jennifer Tsay, Co-Founder & CEO of Shoott

This woman is living in the reality she desired. Her entrepreneurial journey started AFTER she quit her job. With savings in the bank Jennifer gave herself freedom to get to know herself through creative pursuits. One thing really did lead to another BUT Jennifer was actively directing her choices, her actions and making her own opportunities. Self advocating, after years in corporate safely and complacently NOT doing that or being that version of herself. (Ahem - anything is possible if you decide and take action!)Jennifer has that "it" factor - confidence, visionary mindset, creative strategy. Her company, Shoott, took five years to hit profitability, now grossing $10M annually serving in 60 cities with 750+ photographers (at 7 years and counting). Shoott is a photography booking platform connecting clients with vetted photographers for affordable and exceptional shoots. I love this so much - she scaled, sustainably and structured. This is tangible business building, CEO Mindset level. And she keeps bringing more of herself into the business - heart, sustainable hustle, excellent team members and a whole lot of wisdom. From creative pivots to scaling with integrity, this convo is packed with golden nuggets for anyone navigating entrepreneurship—especially women carving their own path.✨ We dive into: The business model behind Shoot and how it actually* works* What it really takes to go from corporate to creative (hello reinvention!)* Lessons in hiring, team-building, and leading with self-awareness* Why self-advocacy, community, and not waiting to be “picked” matters more than ever How Jennifer became Forbes Next 1000, Brit & Co AAPI 30, and Entreprenista 100—and why you should nominate yourself too*If you are in the USA you can book with code POWHERFULL for 15% off an order of 10+ photos booked at shoott.comhttps://shoott.comwww.facebook.com/shoottphotoswww.instagram.com/shoottphotoswww.instagram.com/jenjentsaywww.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-tsay-1a65711/And look at her own the stage on Elevator Pitch, Season 11: https://dai.ly/x940dby
