317. Finding Your People and the Power of Community
Grow Your Video Business
01/23/23 • 37 min
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.

“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.” [30:12]

294: Book More Clients with This Approach w/ Chis Savage
Grow Your Video Business
08/15/22 • 45 min
Today Ryan fanboys out and sits down for a conversation with the founder of a product he has been using for years, Chris Savage from Wistia. They talk about how Wistia can help you offer an additional service to your clients that will keep them coming back.
Chris gives some tips on how to separate yourself from the competition and some great marketing strategies that he has implemented at Wistia that has helped him stand out and cement Wistia as experts in the field of video marketing.
Chris also shares a unique campaign he runs each year for Wistia employees that has garnered some unbelievable results for improving both features & systems, and company morale.
Key Takeaways- Seeing real people from your business helps your clients better connect with you
- Making great content actually promotes yourself as a company that does what it says
- Embrace the small size of your business as lots of businesses are looking for that
Chris Savage is the Co-Founder and CEO of Wistia, a leading video hosting platform that gives marketers everything they need to get bigger results from their videos and podcasts. As CEO, he finds himself getting loud (in a good way) about what matters most to him—like his love of innovation, pushing past fear, and working to create a truly diverse, equitable, and inclusive company. Leaving the traditional tech playbook behind, Wistia took on $17.3M in debt to buy out their investors, gain full control of the business, and take the path less traveled to grow sustainably. Today, more than 375,000 businesses across 50 countries depend on Wistia's products to build their brands and grow their businesses, including HubSpot, Mailchimp, Sephora, Starbucks, and Tiffany & Co.
In This Episode- What is Wistia and how can it help you add valuable data analysis for your clients that will make them come back again and again [6:45]
- Do people want to see more human videos rather than graphs and graphics [20:01]
- The power of putting people from your business in your videos [23:50]
- Why compelling content is more important than good looking content [31:48]
- Don’t be afraid to reveal that your a small business [33:26]
- How small teams can make engaging content that also markets themselves [35:16]
- How Wistia budgets their marketing and gives their team space to create [39:35]
"You're missing a huge opportunity if you’re not using human beings to build that connection directly.” [22:33]
“We are afraid that people are gonna judge us based on how we look and it’s actually, they’re gonna judge us because they have no idea what we’re capable of and what we care about. It’s not about how we look, that’s not it, but that’s the normal human instinct.” [31:48]
“If you don’t have a video that markets yourself, then maybe you don’t really believe in it, and if you do, you get the meta benefits instantly. It’s like, oh, look at the clever thing this company’s doing to market themselves, doing the thing they say that they do.” [37:55]
“You know the old adage of the cobbler's kids get no shoes. I think flip it around and say if the cobbler's kids have sick shoes then everyone wants those shoes, like, "Where do you get those shoes, buddy? I want those shoes." I think it’s just that; if you make sweet stuff promoting yourself, you get the benefit of it actually promotes yourself and it proves to people that you can make that kind of content.” [39:10]

Remember when your mother used to tell you that just because everyone’s doing it doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do? Well, today’s show is all about that.
Scott Markowitz has been working in post-production as an editor for decades and he is on a mission to inform people that a simple switch he did (away from the industry standard software he’d been using for years) has increased his efficiencies drastically and helped him deliver in record time.
Key Takeaways- How to pitch yourself outside of your niche audience
- Changing your software might speed up your post-production workflows
After decades of working in the TV and Film industries as a top session editor, Scott Markowitz discovered that trading his happiness for money was no longer acceptable.
That's when he decided to open his video studio. Now, that path has led him to discover another passion: teaching.

- The best software to use to streamline the process [21:03]
- Why you should start out with Final Cut Pro and the learning curve with switching platforms [27:25]
- What is Reinvention Studio Lab and how can you find out more about Scott [31:42]
“I get stuff away from people‘s heads down to their heart... They’re more malleable that way. They’re more, you know, gushy, and they’re ready to get sold.” [16:18]
“It’s not the technical aspects of what you’re doing that makes you special; it’s the creative and artistic aspect of what you do.” [21:03]
