If you’re the type of person who doesn’t post videos because you don’t like the way you look, or because you don’t have a good camera, or you think no one is watching anyway, or you don’t like your voice, or you wonder why someone would buy or watch your videos when they can go watch that other person's… you’ll dig this episode.

It’s a conversation with my friend Brian Nevison. We talk about the work he’s been doing with other online teachers, trainers and coaches about making their videos more profitable and engaging.

I was seeing his posts & responses to people in the Random Talking Video Facebook Group, I could sense he had a system and that he wasn’t just guessing… and he also openly shares his best ideas without holding back. which made me think, “damn this dude would be a good guest.”

One of the things I like most about Brian is that even though he’s a beast who can jump over cars and bench press 1500 pounds, he doesn’t lead with demonstrations of his physical superpowers. He uses those more as appetizers and focuses largely on making videos that aim to deliver his personality.

In this episode, we talk about his 3-step process for filming an effective, profitable online training video. We also cover:

✅ 10:30 - Facebook? Instagram? YouTube? The best social media platform when you’re starting out
