Cali
IT'S ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS
EPISODE 1 - JANUARY 5, 2017
This week for my first episode of creatives talk I speak with Cali Capodici. I could not think of a better person to kick this podcast off with. Cali is one of the first people in the advertising industry I had the opportunity to meet when I decided to make the shift and pursue photography as a career. At the time she was working as an associate art producer at BBDO, since that time she has gone on to become a senior art producer at Digitas Health, Founded YEAHNO a creative happy hour in the City of Brotherly Love that combines booze, creatives and networking, become an adjunct professor at Drexel university and started her own consulting agency for photographer. I’ve know Cali for over 6 years and I attribute a lot of my success to the advice, and brutal honesty she has given me. In this episode we will talk about overcoming challenges, the importance of mentors, building and valuing strong relationships, learning from a 14K mistake, and the need for photographers to be a triple threat to win jobs.
