Well… this was NOT how I expected the next part of my 90-Day Find My Clients Experiment to go. 😂I thought I was talking with someone from a company I knew. Something started to feel off, so I stopped and did some digging — and discovered I was dealing with a scam.That experience taught me something much bigger about research, AI, trust, and finding the right people for my photography business.I’m also sharing what I’m learning about YouTube, why creating content there has been draining me, and what I’m doing next to connect with photographers who actually want to build a business around the photography they love.And there’s another experiment happening now: my FREE CC Photo Biz Bootcamp.
