A Blueprint for More Original Content → Swipe these 4 Formulas My legs had fallen asleep. I was miles down a research rabbit hole and at least 1.5hrs over the timer I’d set for the “generate content ideas” task on my to-do list. [When it comes to research, I can get a bit carried away.] […]

I’m Lisa Kathan and I’m a photographer. I started out with tiny weddings and elopements here in the Chicago area where I live. And I’m still doing that.

She’s a retired pro athlete and Olympic bronze medalist turned mentor for young athletes looking to blaze a path similar to the one she’s walked. Talk about […]

Kathy and I became instant friends in a mastermind group at the beginning of last year and ever since then, I had the vision for this shoot brewing in my mind. She’s a stellar copywriter and has poured her heart and genius into a brand that creates a place where clients can come, slow down, […]
