Business-First Creatives is a podcast for photographers and creative service providers who want a business that feels easier to run, more intentional behind the scenes, and sustainable long-term.
The conversations here focus on the parts of business that quietly shape everything else: client experience, communication, systems, marketing, pricing decisions, visibility, and the choices that support long-term growth without burning you out.
I'm a Disney-loving family photographer, and filmmaker turned Workflow and Automations Guru who helps creative service providers automate their sh*t, reclaim their time and get back to living!
With 10+ years in the creative space, Colie believes every creative deserves to build a business that is sustainable and profitable, and no one should quit their 9 to 5 only to work 24/7 [in their business].
The truth—automated systems can save us all from being overworked and overwhelmed.
I believe every creative deserves to turn their craft into a business that brings them joy and profit.
Hi, I'm Colie.
