Between Shoots

We Held Each Other's Hand - Igor Demba

Igor Demba needs no introduction. Portuguese prince. Brother from another mother. And the man I spent a year making Another Idea with - 50-plus episodes filmed, edited and shipped together. In this episode we sit down in a coffee shop in Peterborough, Igor's turf, and reflect on what that year actually taught us. About confidence, about showing up, about the skill of actually hosting a conversation. We also get into Igor's Canon ambassador relationship and how it came about, the shift from destination weddings to building a UK presence, meta ads and whether they actually work, and the never ending battle of balancing weddings with education. Honest, warm, and occasionally very funny.
