What you'll learn

Save time, spend less and earn more being creative and doing what you love. My goal was to net 6 figures by the time I turned 30 doing what I love and working for myself. I achieved that goal and continue to grow both professionally and creatively. It goes without saying that you can too. I believe in the philosophy of givers gain. I am eager to share best practices with collaborators as we all enable each other to find and fulfill our dreams.

Take this class and you’ll walk out with a better understanding of the business of production and the know-how to earn six figures as an independent video producer. An investment of $1/minute today returns $100K/year tomorrow.

Students will also gain access to a private network for present and future alumni.
