Being happy and productive as a creative solopreneur, with photographer Cate Black.

Hey Maverick,

In Episode 111, my guest is Cate Black, an architectural photographer whose work is frequently featured in top-tier design magazines. She's also one of those people who's just naturally good at marketing. Her Instagram @cateblackofficial is beautiful and fun, with a great mix of gorgeous homes, photo styling and decorating tips, and plant-based food.

Cate is a solopreneur, and we talk about how she came to the decision to operate solo and what she does to stay energized and organized while also making sure the business is growing year over year. In our conversation, she reveals two big changes that she recently made to her business and the impact of these changes on her happiness and work-life balance.

Stay tuned to the end of our chat for what, I think, is a really inspiring example of what happens when you "go for it" and ask successful people to help you grow.
