Build Your Own Ship with travel creator Caoilfhionn Rose

In today's episode, I talk to Caoilfhionn Rose, a travel photographer, writer, and content producer based in the UK. Caoilfhionn started her career in journalism and now tells stories of the people and communities of the world through photography and video. In 2019 Caoilfhionn started Crusoe Collective, a content production and digital studio dedicated to helping considerate brands tell their stories in a conscious way that respects the planet and the people who make up their community. In our conversation, we trace Caoilfhionn's path from working for an agency to starting her own business, the concrete steps she took to make this career a reality for her, and what she learned along the way. We also talk about the experience and struggles for womxn in the travel industry, the bro culture, and the future of the publishing industry. Caoilfhionn shares why you should stop paddling someone else's canoe and start building your own ship, a metaphor I love so much.
