In this episode, we discuss various topics like website redesign, camera equipment, and the challenges of starting new tasks. We also talk about our current projects and future plans, emphasizing the importance of organization in video production and the use of editing software like Premiere and Final Cut. When engaging with brands, we highlight the importance of professionalism, choosing partnerships wisely, and focusing on creating quality content over just seeking brand deals. We delve into the practical aspects of working with brands, hiring employees versus investing in machinery, and the need for strategic decision-making in these areas. We stress understanding the 'why' behind brand collaborations and integrating products authentically into our content. Additionally, we discuss the financial and practical considerations of hiring employees or using freelancers, and the importance of offloading unenjoyable tasks to improve our mental health and business growth.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Episode Number07:59 Learning from Mistakes and New Camera Settings15:11 Discussion on Various Topics30:38 Using Premiere or Final Cut for Engaging Videos37:17 Approaching Brands Professionally and Explaining Mutual Benefits44:28 Building Relationships and Selectively Working with Brands52:21 Hiring Employees vs. Investing in Machinery01:05:54 Offloading Tasks01:13:24 Financial ConsiderationsIf you'd like to support the show, check out our Patreon page:https://www.patreon.com/SelfMadePodCheck out Self Made on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok!https://www.instagram.com/self.made.pod/https://www.youtube.com/@SelfMadePodhttps://www.tiktok.com/@selfmadepodYou can also check out the hosts!Sam Raimondi:https://www.instagram.com/diyhuntress/https://www.youtube.com/@diyhuntresshttps://www.tiktok.com/@diyhuntresshttps://www.facebook.com/diyhuntressJef and Jess Behnke:https://www.instagram.com/twomoosedesign/https://www.youtube.com/@TwoMooseDesignhttps://www.tiktok.com/@twomoosedesignhttps://www.facebook.com/twomoosedesignMike Coffeyhttps://www.instagram.com/coffeycustombuilds/https://www.youtube.com/@CoffeyCustomBuildshttps://www.tiktok.com/@coffeycustombuildshttps://www.facebook.com/coffeycustombuilds
