Had a good day today. Helped a bunch of people to step forward on their creative journey. I feel useful on days like today.
Most of my mentoring goes to people with serious economic privilege, and I recognise that is less than ideal. Today's group paid $50 for four hours, lunch and a copy of the book.
That was thanks to Tamron, Hobolite and Ted's Camera stores. Their sponsorship made it possible.
Shellie and I get to bill our time to Tamron and Hobolite. We get paid still.
You could argue there are better ways to make a dollar, and it's a very demanding day on both of us. But we got to work with a great team (local distributor Blonde Robot) and get to create a seriously unique experience for 19 lucky people.
Not every gig is this rewarding. Not every client is actually worth our commitment.
🤍 on so many levels!
We are pushed to the very limit of our social tolerance on these things.
We are both introverts who get quickly drained by social interaction. The panic on our faces when we discovered they'd booked 20 people instead of the usual 12!!! I'll be ready to go again in about two months :)
