310 - Ever tried buying a black-tie dress online and decided “hard pass” once you saw the return policy? Yep, same.
In today’s episode, we turn that frustration into a masterclass on your photography client experience. Where’s the friction? What’s confusing? And what tiny tweaks convert more inquiries into bookings (without feeling pushy)? Let’s make your process easy.
What to Listen For:

- The quick workflow audit and what this reveals in 10 minutes
- The “grandma test” and why a second grader should understand your booking steps
- A simple swap that beats long questionnaires (and still gets you better info)
- My “Triple Guarantee”: what it is, why it works, and the two times I actually used it
- Micro-frictions you don’t notice (scheduling, codes, portals) that cost you bookings
- Where to educate proactively so clients feel excited, not overwhelmed
Your booking process shouldn’t feel like a return policy nightmare. When you make things clear and easy, clients relax, trust you more, and say yes faster. Listen in to find out how to simplify your workflow and boost your bookings.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
