Dear listener,

Den interviews Ben Baldwin who is the founder of Chuffed Productions, long-time client, member of Den's VBA, and all-round top bloke. If you're in the video production industry, then listening to this is very likely to make you money.

Here's a sneak peek at what you'll hear:

  • Why bad actors would be better off behind the camera than in front of one. - 2:15
  • Ben rattles off a laundry list of presenting jobs he had before launching his own business. - 4:00
  • How Ben bluffed his way into the video production industry. - 6:30
  • Why you should shake more hands if you want to go further in business. - 7:00
  • A clever thing Ben did as a video freelancer that helped him scale his business later on. (Best part: anyone video freelancer can do this immediately. - 9:45
  • Ben debunks a common videographer myth that is holding backing many videographers from scaling up their business. - 10:00
  • ATTENTION videographers: beware of the “editing trap”. - 11:00
  • The “5-letter word” that's considered a dirty word amongst videographers. (Hint: it starts with the letter "N" - 15:00)

  • A profit-killing mindset that is keeping many video freelancers a day late and a dollar short. (If you are saying any of the things mentioned at 24:00, you might want to change that right quick.)
  • Wicked good business advice from Mr. Den Lennie. 24:30
  • The book every business owner should read at least twice per year. (This book is fast becoming the small business owner's Bible, and for good reason. - 37:20)
