Creative Minds, Smart Money: Finance & Business Tips for Creatives

Not sure how to rebuild your business after a big move? You’re not alone—and you’re not stuck.

In this episode, I’m joined by brand photographer + creative business educator Emily Kim, who moved across the country and had to start everything from scratch. No local network, no word-of-mouth, no plan B.

Together, we’re diving into: ✅ How Emily rebuilt her business after moving from California to Boston

✅ The secret to booking clients in a brand-new market—without paid ads

✅ Why old-school networking still works (and how to actually enjoy it)

✅ How to collaborate without sounding desperate

✅ What to post in Facebook groups that actually leads to biz opportunities
