WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.660
Cam, I would love for you to tell me about your

00:00:03.660 --> 00:00:06.059
vision. Why do you do what you do? And you can

00:00:06.059 --> 00:00:08.259
make this about all the really cool sizzle reels

00:00:08.259 --> 00:00:09.900
that you're doing for people and telling visionary

00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:11.580
stories and helping them out. Or you can make

00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:13.660
this about family or life. I don't want to box

00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:17.079
you in. What's your vision, Cam? All right. So

00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:21.539
I believe that the reason people get on stage

00:00:21.539 --> 00:00:25.199
is to change the world. Simple as that. You know,

00:00:25.219 --> 00:00:26.460
I don't know. I've never been a single speaker

00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:29.230
who gets out there and says, you know i'm i'm

00:00:29.230 --> 00:00:30.789
out here just to make some bunch of money like

00:00:30.789 --> 00:00:32.630
i love i'm sure that i'm sure they exist i'm

00:00:32.630 --> 00:00:33.909
sure they exist but it's just not the people

00:00:33.909 --> 00:00:41.130
i attract but if i can enable a speaker to get

00:00:41.130 --> 00:00:44.530
on a better stage to like empower transform change

00:00:44.530 --> 00:00:47.270
the lives of more people then me being that one

00:00:47.270 --> 00:00:50.130
percent person who can help them get there feels

00:00:50.130 --> 00:00:53.329
really good And so it's like, if I can do that,

00:00:53.350 --> 00:00:55.929
if I can just like keep doing that, that to me

00:00:55.929 --> 00:00:58.509
is like a fulfilling life. And so, so I think

00:00:58.509 --> 00:01:00.369
like the vision is like, how do we live more

00:01:00.369 --> 00:01:03.890
fulfilling inside? And, and I do that by enabling

00:01:03.890 --> 00:01:06.409
the right people to go to bigger stages and transform

00:01:06.409 --> 00:01:09.829
more people. I love what you do. That's one of

00:01:09.829 --> 00:01:11.829
my favorite visions I've ever heard, Cam. It

00:01:11.829 --> 00:01:14.250
gives me massive goosebumps. Okay, here I was,

00:01:14.290 --> 00:01:17.549
19 years old. I'd just gotten to Uruguay. It

00:01:17.549 --> 00:01:20.730
was my first Saturday in the country, and we

00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:23.250
were baptizing two little girls, 9 and 11 years

00:01:23.250 --> 00:01:25.670
old, and their 14 -year -old sister came prepared

00:01:25.670 --> 00:01:29.200
to speak. at this event right and she was crying

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:30.799
because she was terrified there was going to

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:32.879
be like an audience of six people probably felt

00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:36.519
like six million to her and i take her to a room

00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.439
and i'm talking to her about like hey um if you

00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:40.780
don't want to do this it's okay but you might

00:01:40.780 --> 00:01:42.599
have to say a quick prayer um you know and if

00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.519
you want to after like you can of course do it

00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.540
so she gets on stage and she does her thing right

00:01:46.540 --> 00:01:49.560
um and she's just glowing and so excited and

00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.060
this little confidence boost came in the reason

00:01:52.060 --> 00:01:54.239
why this relates and why it's so important visionaries

00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.000
is this little girl a couple years later went

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.519
on to serve a mission in chile and so here my

00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:02.680
two -year mission of helping thousands and thousands

00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:04.540
of thousands of people every day for two years

00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:06.780
and knowing the impact that i got to create of

00:02:06.780 --> 00:02:09.139
that then got extended to the other side of the

00:02:09.139 --> 00:02:11.560
continent where she got to do that for 18 months

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.699
and help people now she's got a beautiful family

00:02:13.699 --> 00:02:17.240
and the just having the opportunity to plant

00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.419
the seed of giving her the confidence and helping

00:02:19.419 --> 00:02:21.879
her get on that stage and do that that for the

00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.020
rest of my life will be one of my most cherished

00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:26.300
memories. And as Cam pointed out, we'll get to

00:02:26.300 --> 00:02:28.439
that over and over and over, but Cam takes that

00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.759
to the next level and takes these visionaries

00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.199
and does these amazing sizzle reels that I'm

00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:34.479
going to put some links associated with this

00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.060
episode. So you guys can see that, but definitely

00:02:37.060 --> 00:02:40.699
go over to his brand. His brand is the frequent

00:02:40.699 --> 00:02:44.800
speaker. and check out some of those sizzle reels.

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.680
And you can see that I'll also give one other

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:49.879
pointer for you visionaries out there. You can

00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.340
see that there's an amazing quality that exists

00:02:52.340 --> 00:02:54.979
from a production standpoint. And with some of

00:02:54.979 --> 00:02:57.740
these speakers, you'll see that they have a lack

00:02:57.740 --> 00:03:01.280
of content. I'm going to highlight that. This

00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:03.419
is not CAM's limitation. That would be their

00:03:03.419 --> 00:03:06.159
limitation. they need to have as much content

00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.539
as possible so that people like Kim can put together

00:03:08.539 --> 00:03:11.520
great reels. If my team spoke English, most of

00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:13.080
them speak Spanish that do the reels for me,

00:03:13.139 --> 00:03:15.479
they would be laughing hysterically right now

00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:17.460
because they've had to put together scissor reels

00:03:17.460 --> 00:03:20.699
with my lack of content sometimes. So there are

00:03:20.699 --> 00:03:23.240
limitations on both sides, but what Kim is doing

00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:25.969
for his clients. I'm already bought in. I'm like,

00:03:26.009 --> 00:03:29.310
golly, I've got to pick Kim's brain, bring him

00:03:29.310 --> 00:03:30.889
around more, see what we can do to help more

00:03:30.889 --> 00:03:32.110
of the visionaries out there. So if you have

00:03:32.110 --> 00:03:33.710
questions about that process, absolutely let

00:03:33.710 --> 00:03:37.009
us know. Kim, you talked about purpose, which

00:03:37.009 --> 00:03:39.509
just, again, that hit me so hard because it's

00:03:39.509 --> 00:03:42.389
the essence. It's what we're doing. These people

00:03:42.389 --> 00:03:43.849
that are going on stage, they do want to change

00:03:43.849 --> 00:03:46.289
the world. They may not feel they can do that.

00:03:47.569 --> 00:03:51.310
What are some of your favorite aspects about...

00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:54.900
the process of bringing people's vision to life.

00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.699
I'm so glad you asked that question. I'm actually

00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:01.460
so excited to keep talking with you because it's

00:04:01.460 --> 00:04:05.060
so exciting. I get so fired up. If you had to

00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:07.360
pick one thing about your business that you love,

00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.680
right? And we've all got stuff that we don't

00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.599
love. Like I don't particularly love doing payroll

00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.120
or taxes. I don't particularly love curating

00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.240
content. It's just not my favorite thing to do.

00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:19.360
I've got a team around me who supports me with

00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.920
the things that I don't love doing. But the one

00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.759
thing, the one thing I love doing and I will

00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.560
never give away is the interview process. So

00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.279
let me tell you a quick story. So I had a client,

00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:31.339
her name is Christine, and you can see her demo

00:04:31.339 --> 00:04:34.500
reel in my portfolio. And when I worked with

00:04:34.500 --> 00:04:37.860
Christine, she said, Cam, I participated in this

00:04:37.860 --> 00:04:41.019
program and I've got this interview. It's not

00:04:41.019 --> 00:04:43.540
stage footage, but it's an interview. Do you

00:04:43.540 --> 00:04:46.680
want it to put in the demo reel? I'm like, sure,

00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.759
why not? I used to do podcasts. I know interviews.

00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:52.540
I can know a good one when I see it. And I watched

00:04:52.540 --> 00:04:54.600
this interview and I was like, this is like a...

00:04:54.829 --> 00:04:59.110
8k three camera setup it was like she had to

00:04:59.110 --> 00:05:01.829
physically mail me a hard drive because it like

00:05:01.829 --> 00:05:03.470
the upload times were going to be like eight

00:05:03.470 --> 00:05:06.170
days to upload and i was like it was two terabytes

00:05:06.170 --> 00:05:08.170
worth of video and i was like holy crap how do

00:05:08.170 --> 00:05:10.990
i even like use this content because if for anyone

00:05:10.990 --> 00:05:12.689
like video nerds out there like it was film is

00:05:12.689 --> 00:05:15.449
black magic and black magic raw files it's just

00:05:15.449 --> 00:05:17.709
nuts it's like crazy to work with but what i

00:05:17.709 --> 00:05:22.189
saw in that was like a depth of a depth of of

00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:24.899
story, kind of like what we're doing right now

00:05:24.899 --> 00:05:27.839
with from that speaker that I'd never done in

00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:29.920
any real previously. And I think it's sort of

00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.279
like any entrepreneur I speak with, you've got

00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.199
these kind of like bookmarks in your entrepreneurship

00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:37.420
journey, like when things changed and all of

00:05:37.420 --> 00:05:39.759
a sudden you start to see that trajectory kind

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:41.720
of like start to angle upwards a little bit more.

00:05:41.819 --> 00:05:43.819
And working with Christine was that one moment

00:05:43.819 --> 00:05:46.420
because I took in her interview and I said, that's

00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:49.199
it from this moment on. any speaker who doesn't

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.459
have content any speaker who's lacking something

00:05:51.459 --> 00:05:56.000
i'm going to interview them in depth 90 minutes

00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.560
i'm gonna like get them to to to to i'm gonna

00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:01.399
get them that content that they're lacking and

00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.600
the first couple times i totally botched it like

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:08.519
you know it's hard it's hard like we were kind

00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:09.920
of figuring it out and stuff like that but you

00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:12.060
know what the key was was was like when i started

00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:15.120
to take total control and ownership of that direct

00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.850
success of that interview with the client So

00:06:17.850 --> 00:06:21.430
I started to book a studio. I would book their

00:06:21.430 --> 00:06:25.149
videographer. And ultimately, I would start to

00:06:25.149 --> 00:06:27.509
fly down to the speaker to interview them in

00:06:27.509 --> 00:06:29.509
person because in -person interviews always land

00:06:29.509 --> 00:06:32.930
differently. The little moments of delays that

00:06:32.930 --> 00:06:35.850
happened in Zoom and this call are totally eliminated.

00:06:36.129 --> 00:06:37.949
You can kind of look around and say, this scene

00:06:37.949 --> 00:06:40.149
is great, but I want it like this instead. So

00:06:40.149 --> 00:06:42.220
you can kind of take that total ownership. So

00:06:42.220 --> 00:06:44.300
I love to just encourage anybody, like any visionaries

00:06:44.300 --> 00:06:46.579
who are listening, right? Like the more you can

00:06:46.579 --> 00:06:50.000
demonstrate the, the, the, that you are on the

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.819
same side as your client, right? Like that you

00:06:51.819 --> 00:06:54.199
want to like. you want to own their success with

00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:55.899
them. And because that's like, you're both together,

00:06:55.939 --> 00:06:58.279
like rah, rah, this is awesome. When I started

00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.519
to like do that, that changed, that changed my

00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.019
business. It changed the way that I did stuff.

00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:04.220
So that's kind of like, I think I've enough of

00:07:04.220 --> 00:07:05.459
answering the question. I'm kind of going off

00:07:05.459 --> 00:07:07.980
on a bit of a tangent. There's that one moment.

00:07:08.339 --> 00:07:10.519
There's that one moment where like, like she

00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:12.459
changed it. I'll be forever in debt to Christine

00:07:12.459 --> 00:07:14.259
to like allowing me to work with that because

00:07:14.259 --> 00:07:15.959
I don't know when I would have done that next,

00:07:15.980 --> 00:07:18.319
but that. that part changed the way that i do

00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:21.759
business and that is it created opportunities

00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.720
to have deeper conversations with people to interview

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.800
them to understand like the why the why this

00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:28.860
is so important to you like why do you care about

00:07:28.860 --> 00:07:31.060
why do you care so much about getting people

00:07:31.060 --> 00:07:33.720
to listen that's that was her topic or i went

00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:37.199
another speaker he um he's a top 50 ted head

00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:39.800
speaker and uh he actually he spoke just before

00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.079
simon sinek in one of his ted talks on the ted

00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.410
stage not fedex but on the ted stage And to be

00:07:45.410 --> 00:07:49.550
able to interview him, he used to be a highway

00:07:49.550 --> 00:07:53.629
patrolman. And he's rescued over 450 people from

00:07:53.629 --> 00:07:57.230
jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. And to hear

00:07:57.230 --> 00:08:00.089
his story, to ask him in -depth questions about

00:08:00.089 --> 00:08:02.189
that. You don't get up on stage and start to

00:08:02.189 --> 00:08:04.250
tell these stories of like, let's talk about

00:08:04.250 --> 00:08:06.410
suicide from stage, unless you're hired for that.

00:08:06.850 --> 00:08:09.370
But to be able to go in -depth and ask him those

00:08:09.370 --> 00:08:11.449
questions about the why does this matter? Why

00:08:11.449 --> 00:08:14.899
is this important? it connects people through

00:08:14.899 --> 00:08:17.160
video it connects people through this little

00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:19.279
like red dot that you have in front of you in

00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.199
a way that's so different from just the way you

00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:24.370
portray yourself on stage because all stages

00:08:24.370 --> 00:08:26.250
are performing you're performing when you get

00:08:26.250 --> 00:08:29.230
on stage you're not connecting with people so

00:08:29.230 --> 00:08:31.449
that was like a big like shift for me so anyway

00:08:31.449 --> 00:08:34.830
oh there's so many i wish i could expound on

00:08:34.830 --> 00:08:38.190
i've got a mastermind to run um in spanish in

00:08:38.190 --> 00:08:40.090
three minutes that i gotta prepare for and i've

00:08:40.090 --> 00:08:42.570
got a i've got a concert performance on saturday

00:08:42.570 --> 00:08:45.539
i got i got contracted to sing and play the guitar

00:08:45.539 --> 00:08:48.039
i've never done that before it's gonna be a lot

00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.600
of fun not on stage at least um it'd be really

00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.580
funny if i got a contract and i had never played

00:08:52.580 --> 00:08:55.120
the guitar um but it is a little bit more i'm

00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.639
a little more prepared than that vision pros

00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.299
i want to stay on track with this so this is

00:08:58.299 --> 00:08:59.840
huge i'm probably gonna be a little bit late

00:08:59.840 --> 00:09:02.879
to my mastermind but what i did ask cam as you

00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:05.700
noticed he did answer the critical piece about

00:09:05.700 --> 00:09:08.259
his answer though I don't know if you guys saw

00:09:08.259 --> 00:09:11.139
the passion, the fire, the tone, the cadence,

00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.480
the fact that he even got lost in the subject

00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:15.799
because he just cares so much. I mean, that's

00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:17.320
really what it was about. What do you love most?

00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:20.379
You know, and if you as a visionary aren't connecting

00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:22.159
with your vision that way, if it's kind of cerebral

00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.960
or it's kind of like, oh, I'm going to open a

00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:26.539
vape shop because there's one every corner now.

00:09:27.019 --> 00:09:29.259
It's like that's not a that's not. that's probably

00:09:29.259 --> 00:09:31.399
not your vision. That's probably not your purpose.

00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:33.860
You know, it's, it's something that drives you

00:09:33.860 --> 00:09:35.919
to talk with a passion that he just talked about

00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:37.100
and the expertise that he just talked about.

00:09:37.139 --> 00:09:39.240
So I love it, Kim. I'm excited to have you back

00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:41.259
on the show as well. If you're willing to come

00:09:41.259 --> 00:09:43.179
back, I would love to have you. There's so much

00:09:43.179 --> 00:09:46.059
more we can add in and help people with vision

00:09:46.059 --> 00:09:47.600
pros. Those of you who want to be on the stage,

00:09:47.659 --> 00:09:49.740

-class speakers as well. even though they don't

00:09:54.139 --> 00:09:55.620

00:09:55.620 --> 00:09:57.539

00:09:57.539 --> 00:09:59.720
