Ep 004 - Business Values and Non-Negotiables with Marlana Semenza
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On today’s episode, I dive into the mind of Marlana Semenza, an international photographer and visual strategist, specializing in personal brand images. Marlana hosts the podcast 'Beyond the Lens' as well as a video series called 'Move The Needle.'
Her diverse client base has included athletes, celebrities, and public figures, including Miss North Carolina. An industry veteran, she uses her degree in photography and 20+ years of experience both in front and behind the camera to tell her clients' stories in their most unique way.
On Insight Sunday, we discuss how Marlana became a brand photographer, and how she thinks and runs her business as a solopreneur. She talks about her six guiding values and how important they are in ensuring the success of her business.
I hope you’re as excited as I am to learn from Marlana’s insightful values that have generated success as an entrepreneur.

ABOUT THE PODCAST
You were built for speed.
But right now you feel slower than you look on paper.
Most founders try to outwork that slow-down.
It only burns them out.
Your mind is the only machine your company doesn’t upgrade.
So leaders keep pushing against the wrong thing.
