If you&apos;re like me, you often cringe at the expression "Believe in Yourself". It&apos;s a cliché and an overused statement but maybe there is something to it. Marissa Schmidt and I discuss what it means to believe in your work and how to tune out those inner voices of doubt. All creatives struggle with these doubts and insecurities and sometimes we just need to get honest with ourselves and one another about them. Follow Marissa on Instagram at: @marissajeanphotography

Let&apos;s face it, this year has been challenging in more ways than one. I have struggled to find the motivation to do much at all outside of my regular photoshoots. My podcast and my videos really took a backseat. I&apos;m sure many of you have faced a similar lack of motivation, yourselves. As we look forward to 2021, may we all grow in our inspiration, in our creativity and in our efforts to inspire others with our work! 

My Thoughts on 2020

Tonya Wilhelm of Northumberland, Pennsylvania joins me on the podcast to tell us about her excellent work in composite, macro and portrait photography. Some people just have an innate talent for really creating unique images and Tonya is doing some amazing stuff! We talk about the importance of finding your niche early on but at the same time having outlets for other expressions of your photographic interests. This was a fun one!  Check out Tonya&apos;s work at www.wilhelmphotography.net. You can find her on IG at @tonyawilhelm.artist and Facebook at Tonya Wilhelm.

I had a special opportunity to sit down with my friend Kelli Price and discuss her ongoing success as a corporate event and headshot photographer. Kelli travels quite a lot in her job and she has built a reputation for not only being a terrific photographer from a skill level but also for being so wonderful to work with that her clients keep her busy with constant work! Kelli is down to earth, light hearted but very determined in her career aspirations. This was such a fun conversation! Also, we recorded this episode at Room2Work in Roswell, GA. Room2Work is a wonderful multi-use co-working space that just so happens to have a state of the art podcast studio. Hats off to Alan Crowe for accommodating the David Carr Podcast for this episode! https://www.room2work.com

The Business of Photography with Torie Inman

My first episode about self doubt which aired May 2, 2019 has been my most listened to episode yet and I think for good reason. It&apos;s something photographers of every stripe have to wrestle with. My good friend, photo assistant and all around great photographer, Marissa Schmidt joins me again as we have a casual conversation about our own very real struggles with self doubt and how to tackle it. We think you&apos;ll relate to much of what we have to say!
