| Let's Catch Up: Mastermind Retreat, Wuthering Heights, and My Birthday | 04 mars 2026 | 00:31:19 | |
This week we’re doing a good old-fashioned catch-up episode and I’m bringing you along for all of it. We’re chatting about the recent mastermind retreat (the highs, the behind-the-scenes moments, and what it stirred up in me as a business owner), my thoughts on the Wuthering Heights movie (why did no one warn me it was this chaotic??), and a little birthday reflection moment a Colorado mountain top epiphany. As this podcast evolves, I’ve been thinking a lot about what you actually want more of from me. Do you love the more straightforward educational episodes? Or are you craving more of these chatty, behind-the-scenes, deeper insights on life + business ? If this podcast were to be renamed in this new era, what would you call it? I’m playing with some ideas and would love your input. Come DM me your thoughts over on Instagram. I really want to hear them. *Also please excuse my dogs panting and drinking water in the background for parts of this episode!* | |||

| 085: Are Bridal Shows Worth It? | 16 juin 2025 | 00:27:25 | |
Continuing our coaching *mini series* with a very controversial topic, and my hot take may surprise you! We dive into my full system for Bridal Shows in Photography Business Mastermind, (from booth setup to text and email templates, and more!). But here is a little taste for you today. *Get your free contact card TEMPLATE to use at your next bridal show! When I was first starting out, bridal shows had a bit of a bad reputation. I’d hear things like “they’re outdated,” “you only meet budget shoppers,” or “it’s a total waste of time.” But now that I’ve been in this industry for years, I can confidently say—bridal shows can be an incredible way to meet your ideal clients... if you approach them strategically. In today’s episode, we’re breaking down how to make bridal shows actually work for your photography business. I’m sharing what to look for, how to show up intentionally, and why you should never overlook the power of free venue open houses. If you’ve ever written off bridal shows, this might just change your mind. Links Mentioned: Head to the SHOWNOTES. Learn more about Photography Business Mastermind Check out my channel on YOUTUBE!

| 067: How to Start a Youtube Channel in 2024 | 22 févr. 2024 | 00:25:04 | |
Starting a Youtube channel last year was one of the BEST decisions I've made in my business and certainly the best decision recently for visibility! What was holding me back from creating a channel for so long was the fact that I didn't see myself as an influencer. But what a lot of people don't know is that using Youtube for business is a super strategic move. The truth is, you don't have to share your entire life or vlog. Youtube is a great way to build credibility with your audience with free and valuable education. It's also a search engine, meaning it's an incredible way to reach so many new cold leads! In this episode, I talk about who Youtube is ideal for, how and why to use it in business, and the simply steps to get started with equipment and software. The whole process is a lot easier than you might think! Links Mentioned: Follow along over on YOUTUBE! Find Nichole on INSTAGRAM.

| 064: Passive Income with a Small Audience | 19 déc. 2023 | 00:13:57 | |
I'm sharing how I made over $1k in passive income alone, working less than 12 hours over the course of 2.5 weeks! I think it's so important to share the small beginnings and the power of long-form content even with a small following. We always hear about the creators with 100k followers or 1 million subscribers. But I was able to achieve the same amount of money with 84 subscribers and less than 400 views on a single video that would have taken me getting 350-500k views with youtube adsense! And you can 100% do this in your business too. Get my FREE content marketing guide: https://nicholelauren.myflodesk.com/pvkpw3xish Try my sales cart platform, Thrivecart for one low lifetime price.
