Episode Synopsis

SummaryCurren Calhoun joins Daniel for this episode of The E-commerce Content Creation Podcast and we discuss his approach to identifying, implementing and supporting new and existing technology in your photo studio. Key TakeawaysTechnology in your studio should be an enhancer. It should enhance your production process and allow creatives on your team to create. Anything that can be automated, should be automated. No one should be spending time on repetitive tasks.Evaluate your own process before trying to identify or implement new tech. Your process needs to already have the non-value add steps removed, otherwise the new solution enhances those issues. Look for solutions that allow you to work the way you want to work, but also be willing to adjust your workflow to take advantage of the tools available. Being able to "translate" creative needs and ideas to numbers to sell a necessary tool, is a vital skill to support your team. You need an advocate for tech in your studio, because things change so quickly and workflows can be interrupted easily. Educated and engaging your IT team can help smooth tech transitions and help improve support for the studio team. Links & ResourcesCurren on LinkedInCreditsProduced by: Creative Force - creativeforce.ioEdited by: Calvin Lanz Sound - clsound.netHosted by: Daniel Jester - danieltjester.com
