193: Exposure Doesn’t Pay The Bills

Would you ever work for free? In today’s episode, I’m continuing my mindset series and diving into the strategy around unpaid work. I’ll be breaking down the power of setting clear expectations and boundaries, turning unpaid opportunities into income, and my mindset around trading work for exposure.  On Quianna Marie Weekly, we're chatting about business growing pains, finding genuine connections, and celebrating wins of all sizes through the lens of a photographer at heart. Sprinkled throughout stories and interviews with past clients, photographers and other business owners this podcast is designed to help you step into your purpose and to truly create a life you're proud of, a life worth photographing and sharing.
