430. Michael Cassara - Navigating the Wedding Industry
In this episode, I sit down with wedding photographer and podcast host Michael Cassara to talk about what it really takes to build a thriving business in today's creative industry. Michael shares his journey from leaving a corporate job to going all in on photography, how he navigated the challenges of the pandemic, and why client experience has been the key to his success. We also dig into the growth of his show, The Vendor Table, and how it has become more than just a podcast. It's a platform that connects and educates wedding professionals. Together, we talk about the balance between creativity and efficiency, juggling multiple ventures, and the importance of structure, self care, and community in this business. If you've ever struggled with burnout, felt torn between passion and process, or wondered how to keep growing without losing yourself in the noise, this conversation is for you.
