Feeling stuck in a time-sucking photo biz vortex? Jessica (@jessicawhitaker) cuts through the fluff with actionable tips to boost your productivity, attract leads, and skyrocket your profits. Here's a taste of what's in store: Upgrade your hard drive, not your whole computer: Save money and boost speed with this simple hardware secret. Build a website that works for you: Stop chasing trends and let your 24/7 online hub bring in clients while you sleep. Dump the endless courses, delegate to a VA: Free up your time and actually apply what you learn with a virtual assistant who can tackle admin, social media, and even launch your podcast or YouTube channel! Declutter your space, not your workflow: Ditch the subscription overwhelm and create a productive haven (fresh PJs optional ). Master time-blocking: Conquer your to-do list with laser focus using a simple timer app. Grow your email list, skip the IG grind: Build lasting relationships and ditch the fleeting likes game.

I went to South Korea for 10 days and only used my $400, 17-year-old zoom lens. I also brought my 50mm f/1.2, and I didn't touch it. My 24-105mm is a holy grail lens for me at this point, and it's the only one I used on my trip to Seoul and Busan, South Korea. In this solo episode, I'm also sharing 5 travel essentials for camera gear, tech, and packing and a recap of my trip to Asia!
