I started my video production company without a camera. No studio. No equipment. No following.

And that forced me to build something most creative entrepreneurs skip entirely.

In this video, I'm breaking down the 3 phases every creative entrepreneur needs to go through to turn their God-given gift into a brand, a business, and a lasting impact: Believe. Create. Influence.

Whether you're just starting out or you've been in the game for years — this framework will show you why talent alone will never be enough, and what it actually takes to build something that multiplies beyond you.

What you'll learn:

— Why you don't need permission (or equipment) to start

— The difference between being a creative vs. building a creative business

— Why most creatives skip the "Influence" phase and how to stop

— How one client used video to go viral and fill 50% of her event in 2 weeks

— Why the ultimate proof of your gift is multiplication

Most creatives dream of going full-time — but what does it actually take to quit your 9-to-5 and build a 6-figure business with no safety net?

Nesto and Beth Ann started with No LLC. No strategy. Just a camera and a willingness to figure it out.

In this episode, we break down exactly how they did it: the pricing mistakes, the pandemic pivot, the moment they realized photography was more than a side hustle, and the real tension that comes with running a business with your spouse.

If you're a creative entrepreneur trying to turn your craft into a real business — this is the blueprint.

Creative teams are some of the most powerful assets inside a business, church, or nonprofit, yet they’re often misunderstood, underutilized, or burned out.

In this episode, we sit down as two creatives with over 40 years of combined experience working inside organizations and alongside leadership.

We unpack:

– Why leaders struggle to communicate with creatives

– Why creatives often disengage or shut down

– The difference between managing tasks and leading people

– How businesses can build healthy, high-performing creative teams

This conversation is for:
