Filming Your Story Shouldn’t Have To Be This Hard
You have a great story to share, but it can be overwhelming to learn about the different parts that make a video great.
Information Overwhelm
You’ve poured hours on YouTube, but the lack of structure makes it confusing to piece it all together. There’s so much information out there it’s hard to know where to start.
Not Making a Connection
You have something valuable and impactful to share, but your lack of knowledge and expertise is keeping you from resonating to the people you want to reach.
Lost in a Sea of Sameness
You heard posting videos is the best way to market your brand today, so you started posting videos but quickly learned that standing out is not as easy as it looks.
Not Enough Time
You really don’t to want to invest in another video course which you know you’ll never finish and wish there was a quicker way to learn and be able to implement them right away.
You're in Good Company
Check out what previous students of Bryan has to say:
There’s got to be a better – and easier – way.
You’ve already poured hours searching online for ways to improve your videos. You might have even invested in long-form courses, only to find yourself struggling to finish them.
So far it’s been a huge time and monetary investment for something that hasn’t provided a return in value.
But with every video you make or publish it’s becoming clearer than ever that you have the skill and capability, and that this is something you can do. You just need a guide and structure, something with clear, actionable steps that won’t have you wading through fluff.
If that’s you, then I have just the thing for you.

Meet Your Instructor
Hi there, my name is Bryan!
My phone pinged.
An email came in with the subject line “Teaching Contract Renewal 2017.”
I stared at the notification for 10 minutes, feeling the emptiness of it. Is this it?
At the time, I was teaching an outdoor leadership course to 10 trainees, all there because it was mandatory for their program.
I’d been a professional guide for eight years, leading teams worldwide, and teaching at universities for two. The pay was good—$60 an hour for an eight-hour teaching day. Not bad at all.
But this class was my tipping point.
The students were unmotivated and difficult to teach.
They just didn’t want to be there.
Week after week, I walked into that draining environment, pouring out my energy and enthusiasm until I had nothing left.
Is this how my life is going to play out?
Fuck that, I thought.
That was the moment I decided enough was enough. It was time for change.
I remembered a saying:
When the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of change, that’s when you do something about it.
I grabbed a piece of paper, slammed it down, and drew four columns:
What I’m interested in
What I’m curious about
How I can give back
What I find fun
Creating videos and telling stories kept showing up in every column. I finally had clarity.
I opened the email.“Thanks. I won’t be renewing this contract going forward.”
Eight years later, I look back on that one decision with immense gratitude.I took the chance.
I said fuck that.
I decided to learn video and storytelling.
Today, I speak directly to my younger self—and to anyone in a similar spot:
The person about to make a life-changing decision.
The one trying to level up and learn.
The one who could use some guidance or insight to reach their destination faster.
