People often focus on all the reasons why they can’t achieve something—lack of money, equipment, or confidence. But what if we flipped the script? Let’s talk about all the ways you can break through those barriers. 💡

We believe this is the moment for independent creators to rise, break the rules, and maybe even reshape the entertainment industry. Hollywood might just have to step aside. Are you ready to conquer your fear of the camera and start creating? 🎥

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and business partner, Daveed Benito, who started with nothing—literally having to choose between buying a Home Depot light for photography or eating that week. Through grit and determination, he’s worked his way up to collaborating with some of the biggest bands and brands on the planet, from music videos for The Offspring to major campaigns for Walmart.

I’ll also share some of my own scrappy DIY hacks for filmmaking and discuss how affordable tech is leveling the playing field. We’ll explore the evolution of music videos, the battle between TikTok and YouTube, and how AI is opening up incredible opportunities for creators everywhere.

We want you to leave this episode thinking, That thing I thought I couldn’t start? I’m going to figure out how. This episode is a celebration of underdogs, fearless creativity, and breaking norms. If you’re ready to stop making excuses and start making magic, this is the inspiration you’ve been waiting for. 🚀
