Split Pea Soup and Photo Feedback with Heather Lahtinen
b'
218 - I completely get it if you see the word "soup" and here "NO SOUP FOR YOU" in your head.
It means you might be old enough to remember Seinfeld on NBC every Thursday night. Or maybe you've seen that episode on Prime video.
Heather and I are talking about soup on this week's episode of the Hair of the Dog podcast. No, not chicken soup for the soul.
Split pea soup.
More specifically, the split pea soup Heather's daughter made the annual soup cook-off fundraiser at their church.
It was awful.\\xa0
And Heather had to find the right way to tell Ella.
Together, we turn it into a mindset shift for you in learning how to take feedback on your photos \\u2026

What to listen for
4:38 The ethical dilemma of saying something
11:19 How to serve a "critique" sandwich
16:59 Whose feedback is most valuable to you
26:47 My friend hates my skirt and that's OK
28:39 How to evaluate that feedback and move forward
Feedback and personal growth are so important as a pet photographer and as an entrepreneur but your value as a pet photographer -- heck, as a human -- is not calculated by the opinions of people who don't matter.
See? Your mom was right!
