Today John interviews Brittany and Homley with Unleashed Vizuals. We peel back some of the creativity of how they have built their brand, how they produce the films they are putting out in the world, and how they have built a thriving brand through relationships and networking.

These two are blowing up their brand (in a good way), and you can check out their work here: https://www.unleashedvizuals.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unleashedvizuals

We have been getting DMs from various people asking all sorts of questions about what to do in their business. So, John decided to do an open mentorship call to answer your questions.

In this call, John helps answer questions about influencer inquiries, working with photographers, insurance, gimbals, bridal shows and so much more.

Luxury Wedding Photographers James and Schulze are on the How To Film Weddings Podcast this week, and if we are being honest, this might be one of the best episodes we have ever created. John interviewed these two about ‘going after the truly exceptional.’ They really dig into the fact that what got you where you are won’t get you where you want to go.

These two have been in the industry for nearly 20 years, and they bring their knowledge to help you gain a new perspective for your business. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it.
