Joseph, founder of Serif Creative, about how he is breaking out into the realm of creating original content with his video production business. Doug has found a way to produce original content while simultaneously maintaining a healthy commercial production business and shares how he was able to make this a reality.

Today on the show I talk media exposure with Stephanie Lee! Stephanie is an expert media strategist and shares so much wisdom on getting compelling stories into the media. Most of us think that high profile media coverage is something outside of our reach and is reserved for celebrities or billionaire business owners.

All you have to do is tell your story in the right way and to the right people! Key Takeaways Use Stephanie's "Pitch Like a Pro" framework to develop a popular, relevant, and original story from your life that people will want to share.

That just leads to growth." - Stephanie Lee [25:07] "The easiest way that I tell everybody to make your story original is to make it a personal story, right? When you talk about yourself, you talk about your own backstory, your own unique circumstances and lessons that automatically makes it original, even if, like, the takeaways are, you know, not entirely original, but there's so many universal, applicable lessons that the reader will still be able to find valuable." - Stephanie Lee [44:18] Links FREE Workshop Available "How to Consistently Earn Over $100k Per Year in Video Production While Working Less Than 40 Hours Per Week" Get the ASCEND Method Cheat Sheet Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group Follow Stephanie Lee on Instagram | Twitter Read Cloutmonster's Newsletter Stephanie's exclusive behind-the-scenes look at a REAL pitch Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Check out the full show notes page What's your question for the podcast?

On today's show I want to share from my heart something that is deeply important to me - community. This is one of the major factors that drives what we do here at Studio Sherpas. We all need healthy, thriving community in our lives. It's the reason I'm where I am now. Community is where you can be yourself, celebrate your wins, and most importantly have people who care about you to carry you when times get too difficult to keep going alone. We all reach those times in our lives and businesses where we just don't know what to do or how to move forward. In those moments we need strong and loving people around us to help carry us to the other side. Find your people, it will change your life for the better and you won't regret it. Key Takeaways Find your people - this is how we are wired to thrive. By yourself you won't go as far as you can when in a strong community. Don't allow the scarcity mindset to limit you or affect the way you view others. The work you do is important. You can't do it sustainably without a strong business and a healthy community. In This Episode [0:00] Welcome to the show [3:59] The importance of community in Ryan's life [17:05] Launching Studio Sherpas [23:38] About the Studio Sherpas community [27:32] 10X Filmmaker [36:41] Outro Quotes "When I think about what I do today and what brings me life today, it's this, it's this word community." [7:52] "In my heart of hearts, I really think that we were designed for community." [24:56] "Because here's the thing. Like if you don't have a good business, you can't do this work for for a long time. And I just believe so much that the stories we're telling, the stories that we want to tell, the way that we're helping our clients, the way that we're doing that through video, it's so important. It's like some of the most important work that exists." [25:42] "Content, coaching, and community, I think those things can propel your business into the next stage and honestly make it more enjoyable."

Today on the show we take a bit of a scientific look at one of the most valuable tools for generating new clients - referrals. Stacey Brown Randall has developed a system for building your business into one that thrives by using client referrals, all without ever having to awkwardly ask for them. Once you are able to capitalize on good, quality referrals you will realize just how much impact they can have for your business while investing very little time. This healthy system of referrals can be your key to developing a more sustainable business than you have ever had before.

But I needed something for longevity." [9:59] - Stacey Brown Randall "To get to a point where a client would actually want to refer you, it's not just the work you produced, because if it were just the work you produced, every single client you've ever had that you've done great work for would be referring you." [32:45] - Stacey Brown Randall "When we can impact how our referral source feels about us, we've then earned the opportunity to direct how they think about us." [39:40] - Stacey Brown Randall "Here's the number one question people need to ask themselves. Do I believe that I should take care of the people who take care of my business? And if your answer to that is yes, then you probably need a plan in place to actually show them that gratitude."

The show today is a very special show where I take some time to reflect on all that has gone on in my business journey in 2022. We talk about it all: the wins, the losses, things that I have learned, and things that I'm excited about for this upcoming year! I love to sit down like this to evaluate all that is going on and find clarity on how to move forward. My hope for you is that you would take what is happening in my journey and learn from both my mistakes and my successes. I want to challenge, encourage, and inspire you to build the thriving business of your dreams. You have what it takes to build the business that will support the life that you want to live and bring true fulfillment to you! Key Takeaways Build the business of your dreams, not one that you become a slave of. Learn from hard times and take advantage of them as opportunities to propel you to greater heights than ever before. Create a strategy for growth and a specific plan to execute that strategy well.

[05:15] "Number one: Don't just rely on social media... The other part of the strategy, at least right now (for you) probably, you need to be out meeting people." [22:30] "The best way, the fastest way for you to get momentums is to be in the presence of other people." [23:24] "Having a strategy to reach out to past clients and to say, "Hey, let's have conversations around what your strategy is for next year," again stay top of mind, add value, that was one of the best things that we did." [25:10] "I think it's great to have really big goals - big, hairy, audacious goals (BHAGs). I think it's good to have those, to dream about that kind of stuff. But at the end of the day, when I look at the end of this year, without me having to work 60 hours a week, what can I get done?
