About this listen
A shiny award is nice, but here’s the tougher conversation: how do you value creative work when the return doesn’t fit neatly into a spreadsheet? We dig into real numbers, real budgets, and the mindset shifts leaders need to see video as a growth lever rather than a cost center. The catalyst was a familiar moment—sticker shock at a $15K quote for a three-minute video with social cuts. We break down the lifetime value math, show how a single ideal client can pay for the entire project, and explain why “the kid with a phone” isn’t a strategy. From there, we connect the dots between brand equity, omnipresence, and mental availability: why you remember the lawyer you see everywhere and how consistent storytelling creates preference long before a prospect fills out a form.
We also step beyond hard dollars to talk nonprofit and ministry metrics—engagement, education, donor lift—and how video shifts behavior even when revenue isn’t the primary measure. Expect candid takes on when to walk away from misfit clients, why trust beats discounts, and how to structure content that people actually care about. We share a simple scaling lens—promotion, product, people—and place video where it belongs: as proof, story, and distribution-ready fuel across the journey.
If you’ve wrestled with “What’s the ROI?” this is your field guide to better questions, smarter baselines, and iterative measurement that respects both art and science. You’ll leave with practical ways to evaluate spend, align on outcomes, and build assets that compound. Enjoy the conversation, then tell us: what would you test first to move the needle?
