Every comms team struggles with getting good photography. Whether it's finding the talent to volunteer or it's how photographers turn in photos to use or even training them to know what photos you will need, photography impacts your social media, website, and promotional graphics profoundly!
So I talked to a guy who has basically mastered this issue at every step, Zach Zamora. He is the Media and Communications Pastor at New Life Church in Corpus Christi, TX and we talk extensively about how to get good volunteers, train them, get great photos, and how to actually GET them!

This week I’m bringing back a conversation with Kyler Nixon about branding and design basics that was just a stellar episode. Kyler and I know each other, so we have a lot of fun together in this one and I will tell you what I dodged on the road today that could have killed me. See you inside!

In this week's episode, my guest is Kyler Nixon. Kyler is a swell guy with an awesome design company and he's talking to us about how to get started with your design education, tools of the trade, and principles that transcend tools. He also talks with us about branding your ministries and how to bring it together. Easily the most fun I've had talking to someone on my podcast because he's painfully likable, take it away Kyler! Make Grandma and Sister Mildred proud!
