  • 244: Camera Confidence Training Built on Skill, Not Hype
    Feb 5 2026
    If confidence was the problem, practising on camera would have fixed it by now.

    Camera confidence training is often framed as a mindset issue. Feel more confident. Practise more. Push through the discomfort. But for most professionals, that advice only creates more frustration.

    Real camera confidence comes from performance skill, not motivation. Speed, tone, cadence, energy, pauses, and body language are learnable, technical abilities. When they’re missing, more recording just reinforces what feels wrong.

    In this episode, Chris Schwager explains why confident leaders struggle on camera, why confidence follows competence, and how structured coaching replaces guesswork with clarity.

    If being on camera still feels draining or inconsistent, this conversation will change how you approach camera confidence training.

  • 245: Video Content Strategy Template to Plan Smarter Videos
    Jan 26 2026

    Most people don’t struggle with video consistency. They struggle with relevance.

    In this episode, Chris Schwager breaks down how a video content strategy template helps you decide what video to record next based on what your business actually needs, not what you feel like talking about. This approach removes guesswork, reduces overwhelm, and creates clarity month by month.

    You’ll learn how smarter video planning leads to better decisions, stronger alignment with business goals, and easier repurposing video content without creating more work. Instead of starting from scratch every time, you build repeatable formats that support visibility, trust, and momentum.

    If video feels random, reactive, or hard to sustain, this episode shows you how a simple video content strategy template changes everything.

  • 244: Why Video Coaching Is Your Growth Hack
    Jan 19 2026

    Most people don’t struggle with video because they lack effort.

    They struggle because they’re practising alone.

    In this episode, Chris breaks down why video coaching is one of the fastest ways to build real video confidence, on-camera clarity, and consistency. Instead of guessing what to fix after watching replays, video coaching shortens the feedback loop so improvement happens while you’re recording.

    You’ll learn why confidence doesn’t come from hype or motivation, but from replacing uncertainty with clear, real-time feedback. Chris explains how small adjustments to pace, breathing, and delivery compound quickly when guided properly, and why practising in isolation often reinforces the wrong habits.

    If you want faster progress, fewer retakes, and more confident videos that actually connect, this episode will shift how you think about improving on camera.
