“There are so many things in your brain at the same time as a wedding photographer [and] as an entrepreneur you can’t forget how to care about yourself and how to treat yourself with kindness through creativity.
Because the creativity is going to feed you what is going to make you stand out and be proud of yourself because you’re gonna feel something and you’re gonna create something through your feelings and this is a muscle you can train”
Curious to hear from two winners of Range Finder’s top 30 rising stars?
Jai is joined by Montreal-based Chilean, Myriam Ménard (Crémeux Photo) who is fresh off being crowned one of Range Finder’s 2022’s Rising Stars.
A feat that Jai himself achieved back in 2016. So when a student of Jai’s Six Figure Business Map also joined the illustrious list. We had to know more about what it takes.
There is little surprise on our end as to why Myriam was selected among the top 30 wedding photographers to watch – globally.
Myriam is a little ray of Latin American sunshine. We learn how Myriam has managed to harness this light and bring it to her everyday work.

It’s not all a mad hustle, we learn the importance of letting go, stepping back and taking a much-deserved break from the formidable and ferocious rat race.
