Today I'm joined by a man who just wasn’t satisfied with the way that agencies and B2B brands were doing video... so he founded his own company, specialising in custom videos that help clients capture attention, motivate action, and drive more sales. Welcome to DMR, Eric Hinson. [You can find Eric over at Explainify.com.]

My number 1 takeaway
What's the single most important step from our discussion that our listeners need to take away and implement in their businesses?
It's about showing up for work, executing every day. I think of work as a game of inches, not yards. I'm pretty tired of these entrepreneurs - you see them retargeting us all the time on Facebook - hustle, hustle, hustle. Work hard. Chase this ego. That's just not what I'm about. I don't want to listen to those guys. I think that if you execute everyday. If you show up, remembering that entrepreneurship is a game of inches and not yards, you're setting your mind up for a better shot.
