  • Every episode a gem!

    What a treasure trove of insights, honesty, workable solutions, humour, community vibe. A genuine heartfelt thank you for outstanding effort and dedication you show bringing a consistent level of content with guests that come with a wealth of knowledge and experience. It has been the catalyst for me (finally!) making the leap in starting the process of setting up my own video production company. All the guests I’ve thoroughly enjoyed, the episode with Errol Gerson has many memorable moments for... more

  • Changed my way of thinking

    I was in a week long webinar/challenge with Ryan and learned a ton. I was able to attend a couple live sessions, and watched the recordings of the other days and practiced the principles he was teaching. So far I’ve made it to episode 52 (starting from the beginning) and I have had so many ideas flow to my brain. I also really enjoy Matt being so sincere and genuine with his experience and his responses I’ve stopped listening to my workout playlist at the gym because these episodes are GOLD!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

496. The Storytelling Secret Most Filmmakers Miss with James Harrington
Q: How have you helped others understand and connect with the work so they feel motivated to act?
By presenting the donor and community perspectives—donors seeing their impact, staff and Ugandan partners sharing firsthand experiences—we create relatable, multi-angle storytelling that makes the mission personal and actionable for audiences.
496. The Storytelling Secret Most Filmmakers Miss with James Harrington
Q: What's the most powerful transformation you've witnessed in this work, after nearly two decades?
The transformation at the systems level—integrating the country's water assets into a digital platform—allows measuring the overall scale of the problem and coordinating stakeholders effectively, which is a uniquely powerful driver of progress.
492. The Paid Workshop That Wins Bigger Clients with Evans Wilson
Q: What is the role of the blueprint in the workshop process?
The blueprint consolidates the gathered information into a concrete, executable plan that can be reviewed post-workshop, helping both sides understand the next steps and the potential ROI, and it often serves as the basis for the packages offered after the workshop.
492. The Paid Workshop That Wins Bigger Clients with Evans Wilson
Q: How does pricing the workshop affect client behavior and meeting attendance?
Charging a fee (e.g., 2,500) elevates commitment and attention from senior stakeholders, reducing no-shows and ensuring participants engage seriously, which in turn makes it easier to move into broader, higher-value work later.
486. The Filmmaker Who Built a New Model for Indie Film with Daren Smith
Q: How can filmmakers work with you or engage your new model?
Filmmakers should focus on demand and alignment rather than trying to convince investors. They should dig into the client's pain points, test tension, and approach with a clear demand-driven proposition that fits a broader ecosystem of investors, distributors, and audiences.
