šŸŽ‰ Introducing VISIONARY MAGAZINE šŸŽ‰

I can FINALLY talk about the thing I’ve been teasing for a month now (and working on for WAY longer than that!)

One of the core principles of my brand has always been this: shine the spotlight on other people.

Visionary Magazine is the result of me thinking, ā€œHow can I take this principle further than I ever have before?ā€

Each quarterly issue features one client who is building something extraordinary: their story, their journey, their insights, and their vision, paired with images from their session with me.

For Issue 1, @nicole_mastrangelo_vildosola and @romiuncensored of @thedailydripofficial were the only people I could imagine launching with. I’ve had a front-row seat to what they’re building and the lessons they’re sharing with business leaders across South Florida and beyond.

If you’re building a brand, this is a MUST read.

This issue also features columns from @nickberry4 on what holds founders back from scaling a business, and Natasha @nearpoint.strategies on mastering LinkedIn. Two voices sharing deep expertise and practical relevance. 

And I can’t say enough about @karenea_plrcpas and @ciaragravy, who didn’t just say ā€œyesā€ to sponsoring Issue 1; they immediately asked how they could help. That kind of partnership means everything.

This one has been in me for a while. I hope it’s a blessing!

I RARELY tell inquirers about the technical aspects of what I do. 

Instead, I focus on the outcomes.

If they want to learn more about what I do? Absolutely, happy to share.

But the reality is that most people aren’t thinking about the intricacies of the lighting, the equipment I use, etc. What they really want to know is this:

ā€œCan you help me look like ME in front of the camera?ā€

When done right, there’s nothing more powerful for your visual brand, whether you’re a speaker, a founder, or an executive (or all of the above!).

P.S. What technical part of YOUR field do you ā€œskipā€ over to get to the transformation? What does that transformation look like in your clients?

P.P.S. March is almost booked up! DM me to grab one of the last remaining spots.

A founder told me this, before his next speaking engagement:

ā€œI’m not confident I’m going to get the shots I need from this.ā€

If you’re trying to market yourself for more speaking opportunities, that’s a problem. 

And it wasn’t just him. Almost EVERY speaker I work with tells me the same thing: ā€œI have such a hard time getting a good shot of myself speaking.ā€

That’s what I want to solve for speakers.

Not just a couple iPhone shots, or having to rely on the general event photographers and hope you get something useable.

But intentionally creating marketing assets that help position you as THE go-to expert in your industry.

This is what Jason Sayen said about it:

ā€œI speak at half a dozen conferences a year and also conduct over a dozen onsite workshops with clients.  The photos I get are always...meh. 

Me holding some awkward pose
A photo of me with my mouth in some odd position
A great shot of me and my eyes are closed
A great shot of the room but you have no idea it’s me giving the presentation.

And then when I do my onsite workshops with clients, all the photos contain them...and I’m no where to be found.  No social proof.

If you are a speaker or workshop facilitator and need a better way to capture what happens when you are in front of the room...give Daniel Wakefield a call. 

The biggest value for me wasn’t getting better photos.

It was finally having photos that tell the story of what actually happens when I’m in the room.ā€

THAT is what we do.

P.S. Shoutout to @ciaragravy for being one of the first people to help me out when I was developing my signature Keynote Portraits! taken in Fort Lauderdale, Florida by @toptier_headshots

How MEMORABLE is your brand?

Is it exactly like everyone else in your industry?

Or is there something that stands out that makes it uniquely yours?

The difference isn’t small. The gap may be the difference between forgettability and getting referrals from people you don’t even know.

Way too many speakers I know all tell me the same thing: ā€œI can’t get a good shot of myself speaking.ā€

If you’re marketing yourself as a speaker, that’s a problem. 

Your expertise is there. The brand isn’t. 

Comment SPEAK and I’ll send you my free guide to the Five Photos every speaker needs before their next stage.
