We know this might be hard to believe… but we didn’t become this rich and fabulous on our own 💁‍♀️

Sure, we pour our hearts and souls into creating relatable memes. Some go viral, and we scream and cry. Others don’t, and we scream and cry (in a different way).

Outside of that, though? Well, we’ve got a friend who created the most shareable, educational photography content (if you don’t recall, go back to our post from March 10th)… ever… which we happened to share on our page. And let us tell YOU - we did not expect the engagement and feedback we’d soon receive. 👀

After hundreds and thousands of views, comments, shares and conversations, we realized it was time to bring in the one and only Hanad Ali - the very creator and photographer who took the time to share his knowledge with the world (and also blow this page up). Because the world deserves to know Hanad, and Hanad deserves to be introduced to the world.

Don’t you think?

So, Hanad joined us to discuss the viral post that changed a lot of things for countless creatives, as well as his recent transition to commercial photography (after 20 years in advertising). You’ll hear him discuss the importance of advocating for yourself and your pricing, why you should ask for data from your clients, and how to transition from a difficulty-based pricing model, to a value-based pricing model.

And then you’ll hear us mispronounce things. It’s all relative. You know you wanna hear it.

You know you’re sitting on a good story that you’re just dying to share. Send it into perourlastemail.com. Submit the story now, deal with your conscience later.
