Ever recorded a video in that little corner box and thought, “Okay, but when do I actually have to show my face?” That’s November. This month’s masterclass takes us from Rung 2, Frame, to Rung 3, Open. That’s the rung where you’re on camera for the open and the close, and your content carries the middle. It’s a small step. But it’s the one most of us stall on, because it’s the first time your face leads instead of tucking into the corner. So here’s how we’re doing the week: 📅 Masterclass: Wednesday, November 18 at 2pm ET Moving from Frame to Open. We’ll work through what it takes to open and close your videos on camera. 🎬 Create and Post: Saturday, November 21 at 1pm ET Bring the video you planned on Wednesday and we’ll record it together. Troubleshoot your tools, batch a few, or just finally hit record with people in your corner. Learn it Wednesday. Do it Saturday. Three days isn’t enough time to talk yourself out of it. Come live if you can. Replays are for paid members. Which part of Rung 3 feels scarier to you, the open or the close? Tell me below so I can build it into Wednesday.

There’s a folder on my computer full of videos nobody’s ever seen. They weren’t bad. I just decided they weren’t good enough and told myself I’d redo them. Spoiler: I never did. This came up when @tashana-thompson-6988 had me on her podcast, and it’s something I see in here too. Some of you aren’t scared of the camera at all. You film. You might even edit. Then posting day comes and suddenly there’s a list of reasons to wait. That’s the fear of being judged. It’s sneaky because it shows up after all the hard work is done. A colleague of mine had been putting off one video for six months. When we finally sat down together, it was filmed in 90 minutes. Getting it recorded was the hurdle. Once that was behind her, the rest moved. That’s exactly why we create and post together. Less time stuck in your head. More videos that actually see the light of day. Full episode’s here if you want it: https://youtu.be/KtLLsfIOJF0 So tell me. How many videos are sitting in your folder right now? No judgment. Mine has a boatload.

That video you keep meaning to make is still sitting in your drafts. Recording alone is where a lot of videos go to die. You do a take, hate it, and decide tomorrow's better. Tomorrow turns into next month. So this month you've got two chances to break that cycle with us. 📅 Wednesday Masterclass: Editing Yourself Without Hiding Yourself 10/21/26 at 2pm ET Come here to learn. You'll leave understanding that video is a gift of your expertise 🎬 Saturday Create & Post 10/24/26 at 12 noon ET Come here to do. Bring the video you've been avoiding. We'll sort out the tech, and get it moving. Can't decide which one? Wednesday is for figuring out what to make. Saturday is for actually making it.

Two members logged into September's session. Different rungs. Same 30 minute block. One of them showed up without her slide deck loaded. She spent the first few minutes finding it. Then she opened Google Vids for the first time and recorded a narrated slide video before the block ended. She called it rough. She kept it anyway. The other member is a few rungs ahead. She's feeding her speaker talks into ChatGPT, having it build the long-form video, then clip the reels and shorts on its own. Near the end of the call, she walked the first member through the difference between a reel and a carousel. That's what live gives you. Real-time help when you're stuck. Someone a few steps ahead explaining the term you didn't want to ask about in the chat. Next Create & Post session: October 24, 1pm ET. Bring what you're stuck on and leave with something recorded. What are you stuck on right now?

Join me at 1pm EST tomorrow, Saturday! Come with your not yet done videos, ideas or questions. Join using this link. https://zoom.us/my/virtuallyinsync See you then!
