The Studio & Ecommerce Collective
The Studio & E-commerce Collective is the podcast for studio and e-commerce production leaders. Hosted by Rich Summers, CEO and co-founder of Lets Flo, each episode digs into the real challenges of running high volume e-commerce studios, from sample management and shoot workflows to scaling content production without losing your mind. Featuring conversations with studio directors, production managers, photographers and the people who actually do the work, this is honest, practical and built for the people on the studio floor, not the boardroom.

In our first episode, Rich sits down with Johan Santos, a commercial fashion and e-commerce photographer with almost 20 years of experience across studios including Moda Operandi, Anthropologie and some of New York's biggest fashion brands. They talk about studio chaos: the spreadsheets nobody trusts, the workflows nobody questions, the data that's dead on arrival, and what happens when talented teams are too busy firefighting to fix the thing that's slowing them down. If you've ever thought "we've just always done it this way," this one's for you.
