Your Financial Maven, hosted by Samantha Mittman Besnoff, CPA, is a podcast where you will be challenged to change the way we think about and understand money. It’s important to know your money so that we feel financially empowered and less stressed. As Your Financial Maven I will be bringing you my insights and expertise as well as through my guest interviews. It’s important to think about the psychological aspect of how our upbringing and experiences change how we make spending and financial decisions. I hope you join me each episode as I touch on budgeting, taxes and really anything around money. I’ve spent over 25 years in the accounting world through a variety of industries including public, corporate, and nonprofit. My expertise is vast and that is why I’m known as Your Financial Maven.

    Ep18 Talking with Small Business Owner Rich Waine pt 2

    Ep18 Talking with Small Business Owner Rich Waine pt 2

    Part 2 of my conversation with Small Business Owner Rich Waine of Richard Waine Photography. The conversation continues with small business talk and then shifts to share our insights for young adults and why understanding your money is so important.

    Rich is a professional headshot photographer based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Born and raised in Queens, New York, at a time when shag carpeting was still in style. A musician from the age of 9, I found inspiration and a desire to create. Rich is a graduate of Hofstra University, and have spent the better part of my career in the field of finance. Working long, stressful days on Wall street, I decided to take a different direction. He didn't just dive into headshot photography, but saw a YouTube video of Peter Hurley. In awe of his energy, knowledge and personality, Rich made the commitment to pursue headshots as his specialty. After meeting Peter and spending time with him at an industry conference, Rich was confident that this was my calling. Peter wasn't so sure. Rich is proud to be a mentor in The Headshot Crew and prouder still to call Peter a friend and mentor.

    As a headshot photographer and facial expression coach, Rich's goal is to provide you with an exceptional headshot experience and high-quality images that elevate your branding and marketing material. I can attest to that as I have used Rich twice in the last decade to take my headshots for both my business and my podcast. Whether you are striving to reach the next milestone in your profession, vying for the lead role in a production, building your client base, or searching for your love interest, your headshot is an essential tool in communicating your identity and personality.
