This can ultimately make or break your business.   If you feel like you’ve been TRYING to brand yourself in a personal way and it just hasn’t been working… LISTEN UP!

Today Lindsey and Evie welcome one of their best friends in the photography industry, the queen of adventurous elopements and an advocate for the outdoors, Abbi Hearne.   Abbi is an adventurer, outdoor advocate, climber, skydiver, and photographer based in the Utah desert. She and her husband Callen run The Hearnes Adventure Photography, specializing in intimate weddings and elopements all over the American west but mainly in Moab, Yosemite National Park, and Alaska. They lived on the road full time for three and a half years and recently bought a house in Moab where they now spend Spring and Fall while still traveling 6+ months of the year. Abbi has built her business and lifestyle around adventure and time in the places she loves most. While her business thrives she emphasizes her own love of the outdoors, trying to never become “too busy” to enjoy life outside of work! The Hearnes are at the top of their niche, often setting the course for others pursuing adventure wedding photography, and have done so in non-traditional ways that go far beyond the tempting all-in mentality of early entrepreneurship. They have redefined the world of elopements, pushed the boundaries of adventure in wedding clothes, and done so while falling even more in love with the environment and the landscapes that drew them to this business in the first place.    They dive ALL into how Abbi navigated her wedding photography business from Houston, Texas shooting big weddings to what she’s known for now: serving the niche of epic, high end, adventurous elopement weddings. They discuss practical ways she raised her pricing over time, how she became a lover and advocate for protecting the outdoors, AND how to balance the leave no trace stance as a photographer whose job it is to shoot in the outdoors. Abbi brings such a unique and NECESSARY perspective to being a destination wedding photographer. If you’re a photographer who has always dreamed of traveling and shooting destination elopements in especially beautiful places, this episode is a MUST listen.   Show Notes: http://theheartuniversity.com/009-destination-adventure-photography-living-on-the-road-with-abbi-hearne   HoneyBook: www.share.honeybook.com/heart In addition to a FREE 7 day trial, get 50% off your first year of HoneyBook, a $200 value!!    If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.   Follow along: www.thehearnes.com https://www.facebook.com/thehearnesphotography/ www.instagram.com/thehearnes www.instagram.com/abbihearne www.instagram.com/callenhearne www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity 

If you’re the type of person who constantly is saying things like, “I’m just a stay at home mom” or “I’m an anxious person” or “I have nothing interesting to say” or anything along those lines, please give this episode a listen! Today’s show is a short and sweet sucker punch of encouragement and truth that you NEED to hear and realize. The language you use and the words you speak over yourself have power.  Lindsey and Evie give multiple examples of how that’s the friggin truth, and practical ways to change your mindset in order to change the words you speak. If you’re ready to stop speaking death over yourself, and START speaking LIFE, stick around because your mind is about to be blown.

In today’s episode, Lindsey and Evie dive DEEP into the nitty gritty of taxes with CPA Michael Hendricks. Michael is not your ordinary accountant.

Taxes DON’T have to be overwhelming and they are SO vital to understand as an entrepreneur. Today, Michael breaks down so many different angles of taxes and finances in such a simple and clear way. If taxes stress you out or feel overwhelming, this episode is about to rock your world. Michael is an absolute genius with finances and taxes - so much so that he works with Evie, Lindsey, and The Heart University.  Grab a pen + paper and roll up your sleeves, because this episode is a full notebook’s worth.

The Instagram algorithm is hard enough to figure out without the added pressure of figuring out what the heck we want to say in our captions. Writing can seem scary and oftentimes it seems so much easier to post a pretty photo with a short, witty caption that means nothing and move on. But, if you aren’t writing meaningful stories that engage people, you’re losing half of your potential audience out there. In today’s episode, Lindsey and Evie dive deep into their biggest caption pet peeves and why it’s crucial to write Instagram captions that tell stories. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of the difference between filler or fluffy captions that don't mean anything, and captions that engage and attract your audience. Let’s dive in!   Show notes: https://theheartuniversity.com/006-how-to-write-instagram-captions-that-dont-suck HoneyBook: www.share.honeybook.com/heart In addition to a FREE 7 day trial, get 50% off your first year of HoneyBook, a $200 value!!  If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here.
