Would you believe us if we told you you can make $13,500 in one month creating content - entirely shot on an iPhone. 👀
If you’re a photographer, filmmaker, content creator, or social media manager who’s been curious about UGC but unsure how people are actually getting paid (and paid well) for it, this episode will open your brain in the best way.
In this episode, we sit down with Jessie Bull, a Whistler, Canada-based UGC creator who went from undercharging ($400/month retainers) to building clear offers, pitching smarter, and landing $1,200+ UGC video projects with notable brands.

If you’ve been trying to grow your income but your business still feels like random one-offs and inconsistent months, this is your sign to start thinking like a strategist, not just a creator.
Want to build a 6 figure business foundation with us in just 6 weeks?Applications for Round 15 of the 6-Week Creativ Rise Mastermind are open… and they close this Sunday.
Round 15 starts March 15th.
If your creative business still feels like you’re guessing your way through pricing, offers, marketing, and sales, this is exactly what the Mastermind was built to solve.
Inside the 6-Week Creativ Rise Mastermind, we work with photographers, filmmakers, social media managers, and creators to install the real systems behind a six-figure creative business. The frameworks that lead to consistent $10K+ months. From structuring offers and pricing properly, to building marketing that brings the right clients in, to learning how to confidently close higher value deals.
This program has now helped 416 creative businesses, and collectively they’ve generated over $136M in revenue after implementing these strategies.
But what makes each round powerful isn’t just the frameworks. It’s the people.
Round 15 is already filling with an incredible group of creatives. Brand content teams stepping in to build stronger systems. Wedding photographers repositioning into higher-end markets. Creatives already doing $80K–$100K who want better leverage and scalability. And others who know their talent is there, but their business structure hasn’t caught up yet.
We intentionally cap each round at 35 businesses so the experience stays personal, strategic, and focused on real implementation.
Once those spots are filled, applications close.
If you’re ready to stop operating your business on guesswork and finally build something scalable, make sure you apply before the deadline this Sunday.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down the six business decisions that took us from guessing our way through freelance work… to building multiple six-figure creative businesses as photographers, filmmakers and brand builders.
These aren’t “work harder” tactics. These are real decisions we made inside these areas of business:
From turning a $3,000 video into a $20,000 solution…
To holding our ground on a $65,000 deal…
To learning that what you call yourself determines who hires you…
Each of these moments reshaped how we operate as business owners.
And they’re decisions you can make too.
If you’re tired of inconsistent income, unclear positioning, or feeling like you’re working harder without real momentum — this episode will give you real life decisions you can copy to think differently about your creative business.

What if the only thing standing between you and a 6 figure year was 400 cold calls?
In this episode, we sit down with George and Jack of Agrippa Creatives, a brand strategy and filmmaking duo who launched their agency in mid-2025 and built predictable retainer revenue in just six months.
Before the Mastermind, there was no real structure - just stacking $500 projects to stay busy but never stable.
After? They built $3,500 monthly retainers, a $9,000 premium offer, and backend systems that finally made revenue predictable.
And yes… it started with 400 cold calls.
In this episode, we dive into:
• The “minimum level of engagement” that transformed their pricing
• Why stacking small projects quietly stalls growth
• How to move from one-off gigs into recurring retainers
• The structure that makes scaling sustainable
• The shift from “what can we charge?” to “what makes this partnership effective?”
Six months ago, $50K this year felt like a stretch.
Now they’re projecting $200K+ in year one.

What if getting paid to travel and shoot projects wasn’t luck, but a repeatable framework? Good news, it is! Over the last decade we’ve shot paid projects in the US, Canada, Mexico, NZ, AUS, Iceland, Greece, Italy, France, Nicaragua, St. Lucia, South Africa, Indonesia, Thailand and more - using a repeatable pitching framework.
In this episode, we break down exactly how we pitch brand trips that turn into paid shoots, using the Hawaii campaign we’re on right now as a real-world example.
This wasn’t a vacation. This was a paid shoot. You don’t need a massive following. You don’t need brands to reach out first. And you don’t need to wait until you’re “big enough.”
What you do need is a pitch that solves a real marketing problem and makes it easy for brands to say yes.
In this episode, we chat about:
If you’ve ever pitched a trip and heard nothing back, or wondered how creators actually get paid to shoot in places like Hawaii, Iceland, or Europe, this episode gives you a clear, practical framework you can start using immediately.

Most creatives do not fail because they lack talent. They fail because their business is built on shaky ground.
In 2026, over half of creatives will never break $50k a year. Not because they did not try hard enough, but because they never learned how to build real offers, attract the right clients, or sell with confidence.
That is exactly why we created the Creativ Rise Mastermind.
Over the last 6 years, 416 Creativ Rise graduates have generated more than $112 million doing work they actually enjoy because of their 6 figure business foundation.
Round 15 starts March 15th and applications go live to the waitlist on Feb 23rd!
