We're back! Kira and Mary are shaking off the rust and diving into the power of community—why it matters more than ever and how to build it in both business and life. From Kira’s unexpected (and hilarious) late-night impromptu photo shoot with international artists to brainstorming how small business owners can create real, lasting client connections, this episode is packed with creative ideas.

Mary shares her thoughts on the shifting economy, how traditional marketing might not cut it this year, and why face-to-face relationships are the secret to thriving in uncertain times. Plus, hear how a “photo and wine night” could be the ultimate lead generator, why local meetups are making a comeback, and how book clubs might just be the blueprint for business success.

It’s all about showing up, building relationships, and making people feel seen—literally. Tune in now!
