Jai Long, a serial entrepreneur, wedding photographer, and educator, shares his journey from being a photographer to becoming an educator and building a successful education business.
We dive deep into how Jai makes ambitious goals and becomes passionate and determined to achieve them. Jai's transparency with his employees and his focus on building a legacy for them is also something that makes an incredible leader. Our conversation explores the importance of building a strong community and culture within a business.
He emphasizes the need to create products that can be sold repeatedly, rather than focusing on low-value tasks. Jai also talks about his newest course Metamorphosis with Cara Mia, designed to bring back creativity to shooting weddings.
