“Our personal lives and businesses are so intertwined” - said everyone ever with no further details. That’s My Personal Business is pulling back the curtain on all things personal, all things business, and all things in between - showing you what it *actually* takes to become a successful creative and photographer through self work, actionable steps, social media strategy and more.

In this episode, we're sitting down with my incredibly talented friend and Chicago creative, Airam. From photographer to community builder to content creator, Airam has spent the last 15+ years building a multifaceted business that blends art and strategy. We dive into how he turned “free work” into a powerful marketing tool, built a name for himself in new cities, and used food content to attract portrait clients.
Whether you're navigating a slow season, trying to expand your network offline, or wondering how to get strategic about free work without burning out, this conversation is packed with insights and ideas. Airam’s perspective on community-driven marketing, working with small businesses, and treating every shoot (paid or not) with intention is a refreshing reminder that success doesn't always come from traditional channels. Let's dive in!
