Why Video Feels Hard (Even When You’re Good at What You Do) Danny Delvecchio # 159

In this episode, Paul sits down with video strategist and content systems builder Danny Delvecchio to explore why so many capable, confident founders freeze the moment a camera is switched on. Danny explains why video triggers a different psychological response than live conversation, how comparison and fear of judgement distort self-expression, and why people often believe they have “nothing valuable to say” despite years of experience and results. Together, they unpack the illusion that video requires performance, polish, or influencer status, and why that belief disconnects people from their natural authority.

The conversation re-frames video not as marketing or self-promotion, but as relationship-building at scale. Danny outlines why conversational video builds trust faster than any form of advertising, how showing up consistently allows the right clients to self-select, and why a small, relevant audience is far more powerful than mass visibility. Paul and Danny also explore the importance of filtering—using content to attract people you genuinely want to work with and repel those you don’t. The episode closes with practical guidance on where founders should start, how little equipment is actually needed, and a simple 30-day practice to build confidence on camera. At its core, this is a conversation about permission—permission to be human, to learn in public, and to let your real voice do the work.
