Agility and resilience in business, a Q&A with photographer Bo Wong
Listen now
Description
Bo and Amy are doing something different for this episode. Amy is curious about Bo's 10 years plus in business, what changes in technology and media she's seen in that time, and most importantly how she's responded to these changes and continued to thrive. Bo and Amy are wondering if there are some ideas about agility and resilience in Bo's story that might be useful for us all at this time. Amy asks Bo: • What's her secret to success? • How has Bo dealt with changes in technology? And the rise of social media? • How has Bo managed her energy in intense periods of growth? • A few years back Bo and her family moved to the South Coast of WA, how did her business change as a result of this tree change? • If Bo could give one piece of advice to a photographer starting out to help them go the distance, what would it be? • Amy and Bo share some resources for freelancers during isolation, including Facebook groups, yoga and meditation apps and activities for kids.
