Premium Members, click here to access this interview in the premium area. Episode 500 of the Photography Business Xposed podcast was always about you, the Premium Members and listeners. I wanted a chance to make an episode dedicated to you and what you might have picked up and implemented as a result of listening to the interviews you have. I put the call out to Premium Members who have made the podcast possible from day one, ten years ago! In reality, as much as I love every podcast listener, it's the members I'm paying tribute to with this milestone of an episode. I've said from day one that the PBX podcast is only entertainment unless you are implementing at least some of what you hear from so many incredibly generous guests. The recordings that make up this episode prove to every listener and me that your photography business can improve and move forward faster if you're one of the dedicated business owners who take away the gems they hear shared and utilise them in their businesses. In this episode, hear some of the biggest takeaways from the last ten years of photography business interviews. A big thanks to you for listening, your continued support, and all the ups, downs, wins and losses you've shared with me since kicking this thing off. One thing is for sure; there wouldn't be a PBX Podcast if it weren't for you! A big thanks to our contributors for this episode: Melbourne in-home, lifestyle, newborn and family portrait photographer, Katrina Ferguson The most impactful thing recently that I learned through the podcast is about AI batch editing. It's been a massive game-changer for me. It's saves so much time and it makes editing just more interesting again. – Katrina Ferguson Canberra Dog photographer, Ina Jalil (Episode 475) I've learned so much from Andrew's podcast.

Well, I don't want to say that there's no wrong way to build your business. There's definitely more than one right way.
