We learn valuable life lessons that translate into how we run our lives and business. You should never disregard places where you think you won't learn. Or from people we think can't give value. There are lessons everywhere and we you become obsessed with learning, you can draw superpowers from every experience you have been through. The good and the bad. In this conversation between myself and Siraj, I get asked questions about my childhood, my dad and my upbringing. I share some wild stories and what i learned from those experiences.   ------ All Jai Long's Details: The wedding photography summit is on the 22-23 November 2021 Join the Summit Waitlist: https://weddingphotographysummit.com/home Join the Six-Figure Business Map: https://jailong.co/business-map-waitlist Next enrollment opens on the 22nd of NOVEMBER 2021 Say hi To Jai Long on Instagram: @Jailong.co  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
