Photographer Mei Tao has heard the overnight success stories. She doesn't believe them. What she does believe in is patience, the kind that sticks around even when the work is hard and the results aren't there yet. And finding a love for what you do that's deep enough to keep you going through all of it. ๐ซ
That's what she'd tell her younger self. That's this week's episode. Link in bio. ๐ง๐ค
