   Ep5: In It For Love with Jac Lee

   Jac Lee is a self-confessed easygoing extroverted introvert who loves to create and tell stories through photography. I met Jac Lee three years ago when she first launched her wedding business. And I have had the pleasure of watching this girl grow exponentially. I call her the new IT girl, because she's just got IT, and in bundles. But she has worked hard to get here, and in this pod, i get to tell her story of how she has created serious traction in the wedding industry in just a few years. In this episode we learn about: - a work ethic and commitment inherited from her high achieving family tree. - how she feels about getting knocked back, which is pretty much "get on with it" - why she turned down med school for a career behind the camera - how she achieves a lot in one day - some tips and tricks for getting organised - what's on her agenda for the next few years - and her wish that she could stop time for just a little bit longer to watch the sun set. She's part of Volando, a deliciously smooth tequila brand, co-creator of Piece Society puzzles, and host of the Shots Fired podcast. She's also a gym-aholic, an avid reader, and a serial traveller.

   E3: In It For Love with Kelly Carthy

   Kelly Carthy is the founder of The Inner Leader. Her work as an integrative coach is designed to shift people from the act of 'doing' into 'embodied being' in both personal and professional leadership. Kelly has been my personal coach for the past two years.  And not only do I get to share with you her story, but many examples of the kind of work she has done for me and the shifts I've experienced. I highly recommend her immersive workshops if you can...but if you would just like to begin testing the waters, she does a 90min intensive coaching session which I guarantee you will give you something to take home and implement. However, just like anything we do in life, consistency is the key, which is why I chose a 12 month partnership, which quite quickly lead into a 2 year weekly catch up session, enabling me to really delve deeper into her methods and learning. I love the work she does, bringing always the leader back within...because really, within us, we know the answer to many of our problems. We are capable of finding the solutions, but just need help unlocking the way back to ourselves.

   E2: In It For Love with Nathalie Croad-Marino

   In this special episode, your host Trudy Croad, gets interviewed by her 8 year old daughter Nathalie. It's full of fun, LOL moments, and towards the end, the roles get reversed, and Trudy asks her daughter a few questions on what she thinks it takes to be successful, what are the qualities of great people, and what she does every day that she thinks makes her days complete. It's an enlightening perspective, and there is something in there for all of us to learn. In this heartfelt interview, Trudy explains why it was important for her daughter to be part of her podcast journey. Trudy was told in her early 30's that she couldn't have children, and then at the age of 40 was blessed with her daughter, Nathalie. From that moment on, Trudy wanted to get better in life and business...to be a role model for her daughter.  The more Trudy learnt, the more she wanted to share that knowledge and wisdom with those she worked with. This became her purpose behind Wedcoach, her mentoring and coaching platform, and this podcast, In It For Love...to share knowledge with the rest of the wedding world, on what it takes to make it in this business. We hope you enjoy this candid and heartfelt interaction between mother and daughter.

   E1: In It For Love with Marcus Bell

   Marcus is one of the most awarded wedding photographers in the world. But his awards don't define him as a human being or photographer. He is one of the most humble humans I know. He has been one of my personal idols for nearly two decades. He was the first person I reached out to 16 years ago before I launched my business Lovebird Weddings, and so it felt so right to have Marcus as my first guest speaker. It's an absolute honour to call Marcus my colleague and friend. At the very heart of Marcus' success is his passion to capture the moments that many of us may take forgranted. Marcus lost his father at the age of 16, and now channels his own experience, to capture love and those important moments with such wisdom and care. He is a storyteller at heart, and in this very first podcast, he encapsulates all that I love about the wedding industry...that we are In It For Love. Without the passion within us, its very difficult to make it in the wedding industry. And he shares this so succinctly in this very candid and enlightening interview. In this episode we hear about: - his mentors and why this was an important beginning to his career - why love inspires him - how he ended up in Pantano, Brazil shooting with a Pulitzer Prize winner and a National Geographic photographer - what he calls accidental accidents - and how he "just says yes to everything" - what he realised he had missed out on when covid struck - what's on the agenda for Marcus Bell in the coming years You can connect with Marcus: Instagram: www.instagram.com/marcusbell Instagram: www.instagram.com/studioimpressions Website: www.studioimpressions.com.au Trudy Croad is the founder of Lovebird Weddings, a wedding planning & styling agency born 2007, and based in the Sunshine Coast & Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
