You were just taught by the wrong person.\" If you've ever bought a course, joined a mastermind, or followed a photographer-turned-educator — and still felt stuck — this episode is going to change how you think about who you trust with your business education.Episode summaryThe photography education industry has a problem — and it's not talked about enough. Talented photographers are spending real money on business advice that doesn't work, and instead of questioning the advice, they blame themselves. In this episode, we're calling out exactly why that happens and what to do about it.Host and 16-year photography business veteran breaks down the critical difference between educators who are actively running profitable photography businesses and those who are simply selling the idea of one. She makes clear that business coaching doesn't require being a current photographer — but it absolutely requires teaching strategies that reflect today's buyers, today's market, and today's culture.You'll get a practical framework for vetting any photography business educator before you invest: Are their methods current? Are they transparent about where their income actually comes from? Do they go beyond surface-level advice like \"post consistently\" and \"price yourself with confidence\"?
