OTS 206: The Responsibility of Impact – Jeffrey Shaw

Today’s guest helps companies stop wasting time chasing leads and instead attract only their ideal customers.

For most of his career, he was one of the most sought-after portrait photographers in the United States. Today, he coaches his clients on how to make people feel seen, heard and understood like a photographer sees their subject.

He is a brand message consultant, a TEDx speaker, host of the very popular Creative Warriors podcast (over one million downloads!), and bestselling author of “LINGO: Discover Your Ideal Customers Secret Language and Make Your Business Irresistible.”

how an experience learning how to gift wrap a candle made him realize he needed to know his ideal client on a deep level.
his turning point from photographer to the success he is living today as a speaker, coach, podcast host, and author.
how one line in a poem changed his life.
how he is sharing his bandwidth with others during the pandemic.
