I'm Anthony, originally from California, but have been living abroad for the past 3 years. Currently Bogotá Colombia is my base, but I fly back to the US to do shoots. I signed up because I just started working with a creative director that is looking to make stuff in Jordan's style. But I realized that there's a big business component to this course as well, so curious to check that out. My background is in commercial production, but it was always tough convincing clients to spend tens of thousands on “pretty” videos with no guaranteed return. So I pivoted into paid advertising. My day job is media buying with performance creative, but I still take on more creative video projects on the side. For fun... well, I used to dance a lot. I lived in Brazil for a year just to study dance and shoot documentaries. Currently studying a lot of Spanish. Attached is my editing setup: 14in M4 MacBook pro with a foldable 24in monitor. I travel a lot, so my entire setup is portable.

What's up everyone! I have gotten some feedback that the current Business Strategy QnA time isn't optimal for a lot of members in the community. Because of that I'm going to change it but not without all of your feedback. Pick a time below that works best for you! This poll will run until next Friday, after then I will change the time. If you don't see a time that works for you on here comment it below!

What's up everyone! This Wednesday I am hosting a Business Strategy QnA. As a reminder, the time has been moved an hour ahead to 1PM MST. I am open to changing the time this call is hosted if it's able to accommodate to more peoples schedules. In preparation for Wednesday, feel free to comment or DM me anything you want to discuss. I'm looking forward to seeing you all in there!

These are some free tools that we've been developing for our social media audience, and I've also wanted to include them in here as well. Please feel free to use these as much as possible; they help with branding, typography, design, and Instagram bio development. These are all tools that you've already explained to you guys in the modules if you've gone through them fully, so it's like nothing necessarily new, but it can expedite your creative process if you're looking to use them. Hopefully you guys find some use out of these and can't wait to hear your thoughts. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend as well!
