How to Hire Your Dream Team as a Photographer with Ashley Ebert

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking, “I’d love to expand my team… but where do I even start?” — this episode is for you.


Rachel sits down with Ashley Ebert, founder of The Abundance Group, to unpack what it really means to move from solo hustler to confident leader. Together, they dive into the mindset, systems, and steps behind building a supportive, values-driven team that helps your business (and life) flourish.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • 🌱 What it means when you start thinking about expanding your team — and why that thought alone is a sign of growth

  • 💡 How to identify your own temperament and character traits so you can hire complementary personalities, not clones

  • 🛠 Simple steps to make hiring feel less intimidating, from crafting your first role description to conducting interviews with clarity

  • 🔄 How to get out of the “hustle loops” that keep creatives stuck doing it all themselves

  • 🤝 The process Ashley recommends for smart, sustainable hiring that builds freedom and trust instead of burnout


Whether you’re a photographer, coach, or creative entrepreneur, this conversation will leave you feeling grounded, capable, and ready to take your next step toward true business abundance.

    My Client Files: Booking Breakdowns of a YES and a NO

    Ever wonder what actually makes a client book or walk away?
    In this episode of The Gold Biz Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on two real client scenarios: one that booked and one that didn’t. We’re breaking down exactly what happened inside the inquiry, the communication, the red flags, the green lights, and what ultimately led to a conversion or a pass.

    Whether you're struggling with ghosting, trying to improve your booking rate, or just curious about what makes clients click, this episode is packed with raw insights and real takeaways that will shift the way you approach your next inquiry.

    If you’ve ever thought “Why didn’t they book?” this one’s for you.

    🧡 Let’s dive into the files and decode the YES and the NO

    How to get Wedding Planning Referrals with Hanna Marie Events

    If you've ever wondered how the heck to get consistent referrals from planners (and not just cross your fingers and hope for the best), this episode is for YOU. 🎉

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by a high-end wedding planner who’s spilling the real tea on what makes photographers referrable. We’re diving deep into what planners are actually looking for when they build their go-to vendor list, and how YOU can position yourself to be one of them.

    We cover:
    ✨ What makes photographers stand out (and what makes them forgettable)
    ✨ How to build real relationships with planners (without being pushy)
    ✨ The surprising non-photo things planners care about most
    ✨ Common mistakes photographers make that kill potential referrals
    ✨ And how to follow up after working a wedding together

    Whether you're new to networking with planners or just want to increase your referral stream, this episode gives you the exact steps to become a photographer planners want to refer.

    Grab your notes app and get ready for a game-changing conversation!
