Throwback Thursday with Photographers Ignite - 2011

I'm not sure when Photographers Ignite got started, but I do know for several years it was one of my most favorite events at WPPI. Kevin Kubota made it all happen, and the concept couldn't be easier to understand.  

​Each speaker had five minutes to make their presentation with 20 slides that automatically advanced every 15 seconds. The speaker had no control over their slides except in the initial creation before submitting their program.

Think about the concept of having to be so concise that you had to cover all your key points in just five minutes!  There were some stellar presentations, and this one from my buddy Scott Bourne was one of the best.  
 
Well, it's Throwback Thursday and this video from seven years ago is a classic and the perfect reminder of so many different ideas to help you build a stronger better business. And, looking back there are some fun things to point out:
​
  • Scott is introduced as a heavy hitter on Twitter with 90,000 followers - Today he's got 221,000!
  • Kevin mentioned "GoingPro." Co-authoring the book with Scott, it's one of the highlights of my career. The book is still one of the best publications out there for artists getting started in the business of photography.
  • Pay attention to each of the points in Scott's presentation - this is a lesson in building trust, relationships, and all the ingredients to make yourself habit-forming to your clients.

Scott continues to share a lot of wisdom to help you build a stronger business and raise the bar on your skill set. The best way to keep track of what he's doing is to follow him on Facebook. As the President of Skylum Software and a spokesman for Olympus, he's sharing outstanding content every day!

Happy Throwback Thursday!
