 We just got back from our mastermind retreat and it was an incredible experience! If you'd like to see some highlights make sure you head to our instagram account (https://instagram.com/howtofilmweddings). One thing we did this year was have a panel discussion with our guest speakers to answer our student's questions.

The panel included John, Nick, Matt Johnson, Films by Stanton, Multiply Sound, The Creative Cabana and Kennidy Nicole Films.

We discuss working with clients, retirement, passion and how age doesn't matter. Enjoy this little glimpse into what it's like to be a part of mastermind.

Creativity will often fill the space that you give it. When you don't have time for creativity you tend to be less creative. Your edits won't be as fulfilling. You'll often feel like the work you are creating is a little... blah. On the flip side, when you spend time focusing on being creative you'll end up being more fulfilled in what you do.

In this week's episode John and Nick share how they've lately. made space for creativity and how it has impacted their lives and businesses.

 In Today's You Asked Episode we answer the question, "What do I do if I hit the ceiling in my market?"

Have you ever wondered what you should do if you feel like you can't charge any more in your specific market? John does a great job of breaking down what you should consider if this happens to you.

It is so easy to play the blame game when it comes to our business. I'm not booking because... 'the economy is bad' or 'I'm being under cut' or 'I can't edit like they do...' but what if we told you part of the problem is the fact that you're focusing on the negative rather than what you want?

In this week's episode John sits down with Kennidy Nicole Films and talks through so much, but they really focus in on mindset and the power that can come from focusing on what you want in your business. Enjoy this episode on the power of thinking positive.

I was recently in Guatemala and recorded a short episode to update you on what I’ve been up to as I prepare for 2025. I have so much momentum and it’s because I’ve changed everything. This short episode will let you in on how I’ve been able to go from feeling like I’d lost my mojo (Austin Powers anyone??), to feeling like I’ve got incredible momentum. I’m so excited about this journey I’m on, and hope this inspires you on yours.
