Your weekly shot of clarity, strategy, and real talk for filmmakers and video pros who want to build a business that actually supports their life — not the other way around.
You're maxing out your hours but your revenue won't budge.
You've got the skills, but the business side feels like a foreign language.
You're tired of the feast-or-famine cycle and wondering if it'll ever stop.
You feel guilty when you're not working… and overwhelmed when you are.
You know you should be charging more, but you don't know how to get there.
…then pull up a chair. You're home.
(And yeah — read that last line again if you need to.)
I've spent 20+ years behind the camera — and I started with exactly zero business skills. I figured out the money and growth side the hard way while building Tell Studios into a seven-figure production company.
Then I started this podcast to hand other video pros the shortcuts I wish I'd had. Going on 500 episodes and a million-plus downloads later, it's still the most fun I have every week.
No hype. No hustle culture. Just real strategies from someone who's been in the trenches — and is still in them.
Every episode is built to be actionable — something you can use in your business by Friday.
Stop leaving money on the table.
Without being salesy or weird.
So your business survives a day off.
Show up as the leader you already are.
What's working — and what bombed.
Beyond the mic, there are retreats, live events, and a room full of people figuring this out together.
Every week I pull the most useful stuff from the podcast and send it your way — plus the homework and action items to actually put it to work.
It's like having a business coach in your inbox. Except way cheaper. (Free, actually.)

Or just hit play on the latest episode and jump in. There's no wrong door.
