Hey everyone, This Thursday’s Director’s Cut AMA is all about Packages. Most modern clients don’t want to get lost in line items bids full of jargon. And once you send a traditional bid, you’re usually pulled into negotiations with people who don’t fully understand what they’re negotiating. Instead, I want to talk about using packages.Pre-built workflows that clearly communicate value, set expectations, and make it easier for clients to say yes. We’ll talk through when packages make sense, how to structure them, and how they change client conversations for the better. 📅 Date: Thursday, 2/10 ⏰ Time:10an PT📍 Join here: Zoom Join live, bring questions, and let’s break down what actually works. Hope to see you there, Jonathan

I’m seeing more and more tools and programs popping up aimed at filmmakers and video pros to help build packages instead of traditional bids. Curious how many of you are actually using packages right now instead of bidding everything out? Personally, I love packages. I don’t really send bids anymore. I send package options. It keeps conversations focused on value and outcomes instead of line items and justifying every dollar. Would love to hear if anyone here is using packages, and whether any of these SaaS tools you’re seeing out there are actually worth it. 👇

Hey everyone, This Thursday’s Director’s Cut AMA is about one thing: Your unique, unforgettable elevator pitch. How to talk about what you do in a way people remember, and actually understand. We’ll work on your elevator pitch and your personal story using simple storytelling principles. Think hero’s journey, not marketing jargon. Not “I’m a videographer.”Not a list of services.The version that sticks. Here’s the bonus. This exercise doesn’t just help your pitch. It sharpens how you think about your work, your craft, and your value. By the end, you’ll have a clear structure you can use anytime someone asks:“So, what do you do?” See you Thursday 10 am PST Heres the link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84450996747?pwd=SnbbHsd9VjCGbxAyZDeo6OufD99U3u.1 Jonathan

Hey everyone! Let’s get real for a second. Your reels, portfolios, and websites. What’s the point? Resume… or marketing? This Thursday, we’re going to break down how to rethink these pieces and start using them as real marketing tools, not just places to park your work. This isn’t about small tweaks or cosmetic changes. It’s about flipping the script on how you showcase what you do and why it matters. Join us this Thursday and let’s rethink this together. 📅 Thursday 10am PST 👉 Heres the link See you there!

This week we are digging into the real transformation that changes everything: the shift from freelancer mindset to founder energy. This is not about tactics or doing more. It is about how you operate, decide, and show up. We are going to walk through the key shifts that move you out of freelancer mode: - From reactive to intentional - From scrambling to steady - From confidence tied to the next job to calm confidence that comes from clarity - From “just getting work” to building something you genuinely believe in - Founder energy is quieter.It comes from having your house in order.Clear positioning. Simple systems. Work you are proud of. When that foundation is there, confidence is no longer forced.It is calm. With or without you confidence. That is the transformation we are going to unpack together. Bring where you still feel stuck in freelancer mindset, where things feel chaotic, or where you feel close to the shift but not fully there yet. No slides. No lecture. Just a real conversation. 📅 Thursday. 10am PST 👉 https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84450996747?pwd=SnbbHsd9VjCGbxAyZDeo6OufD99U3u.1 Looking forward to this one.
