There was a time when I loved being a one-person band. Shooting, editing, doing everything myself. It felt simple. It felt pure. Until it didn’t. The late nights in the edit suite, the low budgets, the scramble for the next job… and that creeping feeling that the whole thing was resting on me.

If you’re a videographer who knows you’re capable of more than just getting through the next project, this episode is for you. I walk through the messy middle between “gun for hire” and genuine business owner, talk honestly about the traps that keep talented filmmakers stuck, and share the turning points that helped me grow beyond a one-person operation.

We also start unpacking a simple structure you can use to move from invisible and underpaid to being seen as the go-to video business in your market. If you’ve ever wondered what it would take to build something bigger than you, hit play on this one.
