Ash Davenport & Mick Shah
Welcome to the Elevate Podcast. We’re Mick and Ash and we started this podcast for wedding photographers and creatives who want to be inspired in all the areas connected to running a better, healthier and happier business. Because if you can do that, long term it gives you the platform and freedom to do the things you love. Each month we’ll be looking at one specific topic and chatting to speakers and experts in that area to help give us inspiration and tips to apply in the everyday.
