Episode 69: Get Your Time Back & Redefine Busy with Bryan Caporicci

It’s obvious that our culture glorifies being busy. When you ask someone how they’ve been they always respond with “I’ve been busy”. The problem with being busy is that it’s usually not very productive. You can be busy digging a ditch with a teaspoon but you’re not going to get anywhere. We have to stop glorifying the idea of being busy and take our time back.

Bryan Caporicci is a full-time wedding & portrait photographer in Niagara, Ontario and he is also passionate about helping photographers and creative professionals streamline their business to they can stop with the busy-ness. He runs Sprouting Photographer in addition to his photography business and he just finished developing a tool for photographers called Sprout Studio.
