Today's guest, joining us on the show is an international portrait photographer born in Russia and now based in Beijing, China. She is also a host of the popular podcast Marketing for Creatives where she brings the experts and other creatives to share their experience in business and marketing. But photography and podcasting are just a couple of the things that she delivers everyday, as through her profiling she also focuses on helping people across the world grow their authority and become influencers in their niche.
