About This Episode
You have something to say that would make a great video. But you still haven't hit record, and there's always a reason to put it off. Maybe you don't like hearing your own voice or the way you look on screen. And so another month goes by.
In this episode, I'm talking with video strategist Kirsten Graham, who started her first YouTube channel in 2006. Her first video was, by her own description, terrible. She cringed watching it back. But she posted it anyway, and it worked. We get into why so many capable business owners stay invisible on video, what that hesitation costs in real clients, and how to start before you feel ready.
