A Pivot After a Layoff in her 50’s: Headshot Photographer Alissa Randall’s Inspiring Journey
Episode description
Alissa Randall is a dynamic headshot photographer who shifted from the corporate world to running her own business in her 50s. She shares how she turned a significant career setback “I was sad for 10 minutes” into a triumphant pivot by launching All About Headshots and later expanding with her heartwarming PupShots. She says a layoff “pushed me to chase my passion for photography,” and she shares tips on having a great photo shoot, the confidence-boosting power of tailored clothing and personal color preferences, and her expert tips to help clients relax and enjoy their sessions.
We both share our personal journeys of leaving corporate jobs to seize control of our professional lives, highlighting the financial and emotional rewards that come with entrepreneurship. Alissa offers valuable insights into overcoming imposter syndrome, the significance of a professional online presence, and the crucial role of supportive communities and networking in achieving personal and professional growth. I am absolutely inspired by Alissa’s incredible story and gained even more tools to add to my own entrepreneurial toolkit.
