[00:00:00] Danielle: Hi, Brittany. I'm so excited to have you on the podcast today. Can you just share a little bit more about you and your journey of entrepreneurship?

[00:00:09] Brittni: Yeah, thank you. I'm excited to be here. My name is Brittany Schroeder and I live in Texas, Houston, Texas. Where I started is I think they've always had this entrepreneurial heart.

[00:00:20] Brittni: Like I've always wanted to do stuff. I need to be doing something all the time. It happened after my second child was born, and it was right when, this totally ages me because I'm older than you, but I wanted to start, everybody's blogging, and so I thought, I want to start blogging, so I need to learn how to take like awesome pictures, and so I had my education in something different, but I was staying at home with my kids, and So I got a nice camera for Mother's Day and I just started taking pictures and then I wanted to learn more.

[00:00:48] Brittni: So then I started taking classes and doing all those things. And so eventually I did, I was a professional photographer. And so I did that for over 10 years and then I started a photography [00:01:00] magazine. And I was doing that for a while. We sold that a few years ago. And I was just, I always worked in nonprofits too.

[00:01:06] Brittni: I volunteered. So I've worked in the nonprofit sector for 15 years as well. So I did that. And then a few years ago. We were moving and I, you know, I'd always say that like, you know, as a creative, I'm always like the business always came so natural to me. And it was the creative part that I had to work more at when I was doing photography and I was always speaking on business and just loved the business part of it.

[00:01:32] Brittni: And so I was like, you know what I'm ready to pivot. We. My husband ended up getting a job to move. And I'm like, I don't want to have a location based business. This is a good time to pivot. And so I'm like, I'm going to do, I'm going to do business coaching. And so I pivoted a few years ago and I just do straight business coaching.

[00:01:52] Brittni: In 2017, I started my own nonprofit. So I do that on the side too, but that is where I got to where I'm doing now. [00:02:00]

[00:02:00] Danielle: Oh, so amazing. It's so interesting because I find that most of the time it's the opposite, right? People are so into the creative part of it, or they're so like in their craft, but then the business side of things, they really struggle.

[00:02:14] Danielle: So it's so interesting that you had that kind of Oh, I love the business side. Um, Like this is where my passion is. And then that's where you pivoted to. I would love to hear cause so with photography, when you first started there. Did it start as like a side hustle? Did you jump right in?

[00:02:31] Danielle: I'm just so curious of what did that look like of your journey jumping into entrepreneurship? Yeah,

[00:02:37] Brittni: I think I, I think it happens a lot where we in the photography industry, we chuckle at this because people say Oh, you have a nice camera. Like those are like, Oh, you have a nice camera.

[00:02:47] Brittni: Can you take my picture? Everybody always needs pictures. And so at first it was just, I want to get better. I want to get better. And friends start asking, I'm blogging and friends start asking like, Oh, do you do pictures and knowing nothing [00:03:00] about. Running a business and I started doing it.

[00:03:03] Brittni: And I think it's you get to the point where I think I, what had happened is I had gone to a workshop because I wanted to learn, do better. And the business portion of it, it just got me like, it lit a fire in me. And I'm like, I'm going to do this as a business. And so I started just doing it like on the side as a business.

[00:03:21] Brittni: And then shortly after that we were in Michigan at the time and we moved to El Paso, Texas. And. It was great because I think as business owners, when we start, a lot of times we start charging not enough and we don't really know what we're doing. So it's like trial and error. And the timing was like, just a beautiful thing because I thought to myself, I can do this exactly how I want to do it.

[00:03:45] Brittni: People don't know me from, oh, it's your, oh, it's a cute hobby, but I can show up and I can be whoever I choose to be, and I'm going to choose to be a professional photographer that like has it all together, knows what they're doing, and I'm going to [00:04:00] charge, and I'm going to charge a lot. And so that was a beautiful thing, how that unraveled it. It took a long time to build that brand. But yeah, that's how it evolved. That's

[00:04:12] Danielle: so cool. And so then the magazine that you created, tell me a little bit about that. Where did that come from? Where what sparked that idea? And what was it like building a.

[00:04:24] Danielle: Magazine. That's so

[00:04:25] Brittni: cool. Oh, it was awesome. I, Hey, so it was interesting. So I met another photographer when I lived in Michigan and we became really good family friends and her husband we were all friends and her husband. At the time. First backing up. She is and she's still she's one of my best friends.

[00:04:42] Brittni: She is still like the most amazing. I think she's one of the best photographers ever super talented. So I was like, but we became friends. I'm like, Oh my gosh, this is so fun. Around that same time when I was really getting into photography, her husband decides I'm going to quit corporate America and I'm going to do this.

[00:04:58] Brittni: This is fun. I want to do it. I [00:05:00] enjoy it too. So we all started just doing like photo shoots and stuff together. And, we just always talked business and she was a couple of chapters ahead of myself and her husband, as far as business and a brand. But we just started doing all these clubs.

[00:05:16] Brittni: And I don't even remember if it was me or him, but one of us was like, We should start a magazine like this would be really cool to start a magazine. So we started this magazine and at first it was just him and myself and then she joined on with us. And so it was the three of us. And then later he, we always joke that we fired him.

[00:05:36] Brittni: He was like the tech guy, which is funny because I am a tech person now. And we used to say, he's like tech shaming us because we didn't know how to do anything, and we'd have to ask him to do everything with technology, but it was fun. So then we just started doing it. We picked a name and we came up with this idea.

[00:05:54] Brittni: And the first issue, I can't remember if it's the first one or two. But we did it ourselves. She did [00:06:00] it. I was like always the business one. So I was. Reaching out to photographers, finding people to write, finding images, doing that kind of stuff. She was the one that this is the layout. And eventually we ended up hiring.

[00:06:11] Brittni: We outsourced like a graphic designer to do it. But it was like the most beautiful magazine and it was called Mosey magazine. We sold it a few years back and the person we sold to never did anything with it. We were like, so sad. We're still sad because it was so beautiful, but our own businesses.

[00:06:28] Brittni: We're taking up so much of our time. We couldn't keep doing it. So we ended up selling it. But I will tell you this, it was such an awesome networking. I know that you're a big, like collaborate and network. And it was such an, and I'll tell you what happened with that. But I was networking because I was reaching out to all these photographers all over the world.

[00:06:47] Brittni: Hey, we would love to feature you in our magazine. So I was just. Meeting and talking to and working with all these photographers while growing my own business, and it's so crazy [00:07:00] because then. And I'm trying to remember exactly how it happened. There was, the Wall Street Journal wanted to do a story on high school senior photography and how it the phenomenon at the time because it started to be like a big thing and this reporter from the Wall Street Journal reached out To a photographer said, Hey, I'm looking for this high school senior photographer.

[00:07:22] Brittni: And because I was so networked, like everybody knew me and they're like, Oh yeah, I know one blah, blah, blah. And they connected me anyways. The wall street journal reaches out to me. We want to write a story. They fly out to El Paso from New York. And they did this whole like store, like shadowed me on a photo shoot.

[00:07:41] Brittni: We did this like whole story. And I was like on. Like the front page of the wall street journal. And then good morning America called me. And I mean, that was like my five minutes of saying, but it was just, but it was just like, and I think as a creative, we're really like our work is so subjective and we're always really hard on our work.

[00:07:58] Brittni: And so [00:08:00] I always say it was super interesting because it was, I'm always thinking, Oh, I'm not the best photographer. There's photographers out there that are better than me. You know what I mean? But it was the opportunity. He came from networking and knowing people and you can never say, people are lucky.

[00:08:18] Brittni: I think sometimes we fall into things that help us, like our catalyst for our brand, but it's keep showing up, keep networking, keep talking. And then things happen being at the right place at the right time. But it's also Knowing and like having a solid brand and relationships.

[00:08:35] Brittni: Everything is based on relationships. I know, this is probably everything that you like feel, but it's just so important. So it was a cool experience.

[00:08:44] Danielle: The whole thing. I love that. I love that. And the other thing that I really love about it is that it was so collaborative because obviously, yeah, I'm so passionate about that.

[00:08:52] Danielle: And also just cause there's a lot of people who they hold themselves back from maybe working with other [00:09:00] people or networking because they have this Thought of other people being their competition or they, maybe they're afraid of other people either not accepting them or maybe being competitive with them, all those things.

[00:09:16] Danielle: Maybe they've had bad experiences in the past. And, I'm not saying every experience is going to be perfect. I'm sure you've probably experienced things that have not gone. Super well, but also being open to that and knowing that the more that you are able to have more of an abundance mentality rather than this person's going to steal my clients or that I don't want to collaborate with this person because we do the same thing and I'm always at the mindset of.

[00:09:45] Danielle: There is so much business out there for everyone and everyone's going to relate and connect with the right for them at the right time. And so I would love to hear your perspective on that because obviously you ran, you were a photographer [00:10:00] yourself. You ran a photography magazine. So like how does collaboration, networking, all of that, like what's your mindset on that?

[00:10:08] Danielle: Yeah. And. What are some experiences you've had or maybe even have you ever been in a place maybe after a bad experience where you're like, Oh, I don't know if I want to do this anymore. Tell us, tell me about that. Cause I feel like this is

[00:10:20] Brittni: Oh yeah. Oh yeah. So many thoughts and with women too.

[00:10:23] Brittni: I think it's a bigger like topic with women. I have so many thoughts about this. So I feel like I was really lucky and blessed because, she's not my best friend, but I feel like I have this amazing mentor and it was, not just my friend, but also her husband who was like very good with business and they were so generous with like their knowledge, and I think that, eventually I built a very successful business. I would say I was like, the main high school senior photographer in my area I felt like that. I was like, I own the market pretty much. Not to sound like overly confident. Yeah, no for, but I, for sure I [00:11:00] own the market and the thing is like when I look back and especially as like a photographer the industry.

[00:11:08] Brittni: And I don't feel it as much in the industry. I'm in now. And, but maybe it's like my mindset, people are very secretive with the things that they do. They don't want to share their secrets or, Hey, this is how I did it. Or they're not very transparent. Like you can say, Oh, I had this like huge launch, but they might leave out.

[00:11:25] Brittni: Yeah. I paid like a hundred thousand Facebook ads or something like that. Like, I feel like it's Kind of, you know, a thing, but with photography, it was like, people were very secretive about, all these different things. And I ended up having this successful business and I look back and I think, was I the best? But why was I so successful? And I look back and I'm like, I wasn't like the best photographer, like I'm a good photographer, but I wasn't the best, but why it was successful was my superpower was my brand that I could connect with other people.

[00:11:58] Brittni: And I could connect with teenagers, [00:12:00] with teenage girls and boys. That was my superpower is I'm a builder and everybody that I worked with, they felt like I was their best friend and I lifted them up and they felt so good. And so I think that is true in all of our brands. Like people are not loyal to logos.

[00:12:18] Brittni: People are loyal. To people and to, that relate the relationship, what we talked about. And so I have this mentality, like I can give you every single tool, every tip, every secret that I have in my tool belt, but you will never be me, because and I, so I think it comes with a mindset of confidence in you and your brand.

[00:12:39] Brittni: Because people connect with you and they feel loyal to you and if you can help them and you have a solid brand, like you're going to get continued loyalty over and over again. And I see that all the time with even marketing. When I focus my clients with marketing, I love to be on video.

[00:12:56] Brittni: I am a talker. I can talk, but not everybody has [00:13:00] that. Ability to connect with people in that way and so it's just a good reminder that Like just you can share, share and I also have a mindset that when you give you receive like You open like the universe up to receiving and if you have the mindset of I want to help other people like I feel like that comes back to you tenfold.

[00:13:22] Brittni: Yeah, that's my, my, my thoughts on it.

[00:13:24] Danielle: Yeah, I think that's, I think that's so good. And, like we talked about before, it's not always going to be. Sunshine and rainbows when it comes to, collaborating and maybe there will be people who quote unquote steal your stuff.

[00:13:37] Danielle: And I know there's a lot of like talk about that in the entrepreneurial world about people, stealing people's courses and repackaging them and doing unethical things and all of that. But I feel like, it's still worth even though those things potentially can happen it's still worth sharing your value, being open being generous with your knowledge, with your [00:14:00] time, like, all those things, because, like you said Like when we open ourselves up and when we are that people can feel that and people are attracted to that as well People aren't attracted to people that are like secretive or that don't want to share or that are like holding back because there's something about it that feels really inauthentic or don't feel like they can connect with you on that deeper level So yeah, I totally agree with all of that

[00:14:26] Brittni: one more thing I was going to say, though, with collaborations, though, is I think that it's really good to I'm all about collaborating and working with others. But one of the things to just like a caveat is to know your core values and collaborate with people who share your values, because sometimes that can come back and bite you.

[00:14:45] Brittni: If and really get to know somebody before you do any sort of like collaboration, or if you're going to. For somebody make sure that they provide a good product or service because that can also like really affect [00:15:00] your business, there's people that I like, and I purchased their stuff before and I, they've collaborated with somebody that I.

[00:15:07] Brittni: Do not think have like good core values and it's been like a big turnoff to me where I'm like Oh, I thought we shared these like core values, do you just you know Sometimes it might feel inauthentic like they just care about money and like just getting ahead. So I also think stay true to your core

[00:15:22] Danielle: values A hundred percent.

[00:15:23] Danielle: Yeah I totally agree with that. And I think for me when I was, and I don't know if you feel the same way about when you first started, but I feel like when I first started, I was so like focused on growing the business that. That I did make some of those mistakes like collaborating or working with people and then realizing after Oh, that was a red flag.

[00:15:43] Danielle: That was a red flag. And I just chose to ignore it. And I think those things really do matter. And yeah, like you said, making sure that the people that you work with, the people that you collaborate with and refer and that. Share those values because it reflects on your brand too.

[00:15:59] Danielle: So [00:16:00] everything you do like within your business reflects on you and your brand. So that's so good. I would love to jump into some specifics on growing your business and you talk about automations and systems and email lists, which I'm super passionate about that too.

[00:16:16] Danielle: Cause social media is great, we don't know what the algorithm's doing half the time. Yes. So tell us a little bit more about that. Like where did that passion for, creating systems, automating your business, streamlining all that where did that kind of knowledge or passion come

[00:16:33] Brittni: from?

[00:16:35] Brittni: Yeah, no, that's a great question. So when I started, when I pivoted and I was doing business and marketing I think like my personality was, I would give people that like the tools like, here are these marketing tools, you have to do this. And I sometimes would, we can give people all the tools that they need, but they have to use them.

[00:16:53] Brittni: They have to take action. And I was seeing like a trend that people weren't taking action, but. Part [00:17:00] of that was they were overwhelmed and they were doing too much and they weren't really, they didn't know what they were doing. And I think, as a new entrepreneur, I think a lot of people just default to, I'm just going to get on social media, all the posts on social media.

[00:17:14] Brittni: And I'm passionate about the email list too. That's I'm all, I feel like I'm always on my soapbox, especially I agree with the algorithm. And one of the things I started teaching my clients is let's set up some automation so that you are not doing these same things over and over the client experience.

[00:17:30] Brittni: And I joke that during COVID we put in a pool and I'm, and I was like trying to coach the pool guy and I'm like, Oh, you need to, you can automate this, and I tried to coach him, and shortly after our pool was put in, we had a freeze. And and a bunch of our pools broke and because it was during COVID, there were shortages.

[00:17:49] Brittni: And so we couldn't use our pool for six months because it, something broken it. And I was so frustrated with the pool guy. I know that it wasn't his fault, but he [00:18:00] could have prevented it if he would have had an email list. I'm like, all you had to do was send an email and tell people like, Hey, this Yeah.

[00:18:07] Brittni: This is what you do. But even the onboarding and the client experience, that can be like in an email, we can automate that, and so I started just seeing like, how can I get more time and how can I like automate and so learning like through systems and automations that your business will be so much more effective because you, first of all, you are like having a system to repurpose your content and SOPs and automations, it frees up your time.

[00:18:36] Brittni: So then you can focus on. Growing your business, marketing, creating more like content, creating more products. And so I watched how, Oh, if I create these automations and systems. Like it's going to save me so much time. And so I started doing that more with my clients where it lets create funnels and we can automate these and the client experience and just being more [00:19:00] organized in your business will make you have a more effective business.

[00:19:04] Brittni: So that is where it all originated from is just helping people free up time.

[00:19:11] Danielle: So good. I love this so much because I think it's so important as entrepreneurs because I think sometimes we're so caught up in like the day to day of running our businesses that we don't take the time to set up those automations or to set up those systems because we feel like, oh, I don't have time to do that.

[00:19:31] Danielle: But The important part about that, like what you said, is that it actually gives us back our time which is so key. And I think for us we were almost forced to do that when COVID happened because, we were an events business doing events and when COVID happened, it was like, okay, all of that is out the window.

[00:19:48] Danielle: So it's okay, now we have this extra capacity and time to really. Put those systems in place. And we didn't have those systems, if I'm honest, in place. And, I had been running that, our business for like five years at [00:20:00] that point. So it's, I think no matter where you're at in your business, you can probably always get better and improve in that area of creating automations and systems.

[00:20:10] Danielle: And then also as technology evolves, now all of this with AI, I'm actually curious. about your thoughts on AI and, you know, how you can kind of implement that. And yeah, I'm curious because I've been doing some research on that as

[00:20:25] Brittni: well. Okay. So I have two thought process on it. Okay. It's probably going to, it's probably going to destroy our world.

[00:20:31] Brittni: That's my first thought because it's, it, we're like continually getting like dumber because we don't use our brains. Yeah. But like I, I'll tell you how I use it and how I love it is. I love just like putting it in there for give me a description. If I'm going to pin a blog post, give me a description using these keywords and it will like, spit something out or write an email with this.

[00:20:56] Brittni: I love it. Just giving me like a framework of the knowledge that I [00:21:00] already have. Yes. And so I've been using it for like, just like. keyword stuff like descriptions for pins, like maybe an Instagram post, maybe a blog post, maybe an email. But I like it just cause it gives me a framework. And then I go in and I change it.

[00:21:16] Brittni: I combine that with like my knowledge and put it in my own voice. That's how I've been using it. But I don't know. I'm also like skeptical because I feel like, Oh my gosh, like we are going to like. We're going to get dumber. Our world's going to get dumber. We're going to be so dependent on it. Yes. So I'm all about self reliance though.

[00:21:38] Brittni: So I'm like, Nope, like I'm going to use it, but I still need to use my brain. I need to learn. So that's my take on it so far. So

[00:21:44] Danielle: yeah. Yeah. It's super interesting. Like I definitely I actually did a podcast episode on the. Benefits then also not so good parts about it.

[00:21:52] Danielle: And I also think that it's not necessarily there yet. AI isn't there yet where it's still [00:22:00] it still feels really, empty, like the words, for example, it's very robotic, which it is this robot obviously, it's going to sound robotic, but I love what you said, it's like giving us a framework that then we go in and we actually, use our own tone of voice and all of those things, because, Like we talked about at the beginning, like people connect with people.

[00:22:21] Danielle: They don't connect with just like information. But that's why I love like podcasts and things like that in conversations. Cause of course AI technically can create that, but it's just like that authentic you're sharing your knowledge and asking questions. And, I think that's where I think people will also seek out, because AI will become so popular, people will seek out that authenticity even more as well.

[00:22:45] Danielle: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what, how it affects the business world. But yeah, there's definitely things that we can use to our advantage, like automated, sequences, funnels, that sort of thing.

[00:22:56] Brittni: So yeah. Yeah. Every, everything in modern everything in moderation and [00:23:00] yeah.

[00:23:00] Brittni: And like I mentioned before, connection and relationship is, The best thing, and that's the best way to learn, too, is through those real life experiences I don't know I, I'm, I can, there's good and bad, everything in moderation, but, I've been also hearing some horror stories about taking people's voices, and stuff like that, so I'm, And so I'm just I'm more, I mentioned my like, nonprofit and I work with kids, teenagers, so I'm more protective of, oh my gosh this is I'm nervous that what this is going to do to our kids.

[00:23:28] Brittni: So yeah, that's

[00:23:30] Danielle: definitely a conversation that needs to be had. And I hope that, yeah, we continue to have those conversations and Put in safety guards around that too, right? Okay. Tell us a little bit about your nonprofit. I would love to hear a little bit about that.

[00:23:43] Danielle: And you said you've worked in the nonprofit space for a long time. So tell me about that. Like, why do you have a heart for that? Tell me about your own nonprofit too.

[00:23:53] Brittni: I have just always been like, I'd love to serve. It's just, I think it's just always just, I think my [00:24:00] girlfriend always says like you, this comes so naturally for you.

[00:24:02] Brittni: And I'm like, really, not everybody feels it's but I've always just loved to serve and give back. And I've just done a bunch of different things. I like to get involved in my community. And so some of the bigger ones that I've done I've done boys and girls clubs and stuff with children's hospital, but you have to be passionate about it if you want and I probably my first like life changing experience is I always thought I had to be like like a medical person.

[00:24:27] Brittni: I always wanted to go to like third world countries and, but I always thought, Oh, I need to go back to school and be a nurse or something, and it was my photography that got me there. So I was asked to go to Haiti and take pictures of a school opening a school in Haiti. And I went over there and it was life changing.

[00:24:43] Brittni: And I, they always say this group that I worked with said, you don't pick Haiti, Haiti picks you and you picks you and you've been chosen, and so I just knew right away, I fell in love. And I went over there and later I was put on, I was on the board of directors and I was like the PR and raised a ton of money.

[00:24:59] Brittni: And we were [00:25:00] sponsoring kids to go to school. We had a school over there and we sponsored a bunch of kids and an orphanage. And so I would go over, I did that for four years. And then in 2017, I started my own, it's called the compassion club. And it's just about Kindness and acceptance and just giving back and serving and just helping kids overcome like adversity and so just random acts of kindness.

[00:25:22] Brittni: So we created a curriculum and we I COVID slowed it down, but I would speak at schools. And then when we implement that the club in the schools, we have, like I said, a curriculum. And so we have clubs all over the US. We don't have any in Canada. Yeah. I need to get one. I need to get some in Canada.

[00:25:40] Brittni: But and then we do we do a couple of fundraisers over the year and then we get scholarships. So since 2017, we've given over 50, 000 in scholarships to some of the, just like good kids. Like they might not be athletic, they might not be academic, but they're like nice kids. And that is what makes the world go around.

[00:25:57] Brittni: And so we give scholarships to those kids. So [00:26:00] that's
