  • We're Getting Multiple Quotes | Ep. 2: Mike Connell "From Layoff to Business Owner"

    Welcome to EPISODE 2 of We're Getting Multiple Quotes, the official podcast of World Home Services AI, LLC!

    In this episode, host James K. Kim, MBA, sits down with Mike Connell, founder of KC Visuals Unlimited, a Boston-area video production and marketing company serving clients since 1988.

    Mike's entrepreneurial journey began with a childhood fascination for filmmaking. After studying at Emerson College, he spent years producing training, marketing, and promotional videos for an insurance company.

    When the company ran into financial trouble and his job disappeared, Mike saw an opportunity. He purchased the company's video production equipment and launched his own business!

    His first paying customer? Tufts University.

    Nearly four decades later, Mike continues helping businesses, organizations, and sports teams tell their stories through video.

    We discuss:

    🎥 Mike's early passion for filmmaking and his journey from corporate employee to independent business owner.

    🏢 Launching KC Visuals Unlimited in 1988 and turning an unexpected career setback into an entrepreneurial opportunity.

    🤝 Landing Tufts University as his first customer and building lasting professional relationships.

    🏈 Sports videography, including filming professional and collegiate athletics and adapting to changes in video production technology.

    📹 Why video storytelling, customer testimonials, and effective marketing matter for small businesses and home service contractors.

    💡 Practical advice for entrepreneurs who want to use video to reach customers, communicate their message, and grow their businesses.

    We also discuss Mike's broader entrepreneurial pursuits through Home and Business Services Unlimited.

    We're Getting Multiple Quotes is about real conversations with the people building businesses, solving problems, and creating opportunities.

    Whether you're a homeowner, contractor, business owner, or aspiring entrepreneur, there's something to learn from the people who have gone out and done it!
