all the answers for you struggling business-starters, passionate
hobby-doers, photographers + everything in between. Starting a
business is scary! So much to balance, start, + process: we're
breaking it down for you. 





In this episode, Brant Bender walks through the fundamentals to
kick-start your business. Brant, owner of Brant Bender
Photography, is a celebrated portrait + wedding photographer who
has been telling love stories through beautiful imagery for over
15 years. A professionally training photojournalist with local
newspapers + international publications, Brant innately knows how
to perfectly capture the emotions of you, your family, or
wedding.  He's built his 15+ year business from the
ground-up, nearing failure, reached success, + is sharing all of

Whether you've been thinking about starting a business for a
second or for 5 years, he'll guide you through being your own

when I was interested in starting a photography business back in
2015. After meeting him, a year later I successfully launched
"Kellie Rene Photography" + ran a successful part-time business
(with his help) for over 4 years. Even if photography isn't what
you're looking to launch, they keys to kick-starting business is
