How Connecting with Like-Minded Creatives Can Transform Your Business

Feeling stuck, burnt out, or just plain lonely in your photography or videography business? You’re not the only one. In this episode, Shayna and Devin open up about the isolation that often comes with creative entrepreneurship—and how building real, supportive relationships has completely changed the way they work and grow.

We’re diving into why community matters, how collaboration fuels creativity and business success, and what it really looks like to stop doing this alone. Plus, a behind-the-scenes look at Thrive: Montana, our in-person retreat built to help you find your people and build a business that lasts.
