Cam, I would love for you to tell me about your
vision. Why do you do what you do? And you can
make this about all the really cool sizzle reels
that you're doing for people and telling visionary
stories and helping them out. Or you can make
this about family or life. I don't want to box
you in. What's your vision, Cam? All right. So
I believe that the reason people get on stage
is to change the world. Simple as that. You know,
I don't know. I've never been a single speaker
who gets out there and says, you know i'm i'm
out here just to make some bunch of money like
i love i'm sure that i'm sure they exist i'm
sure they exist but it's just not the people
i attract but if i can enable a speaker to get
on a better stage to like empower transform change
the lives of more people then me being that one
percent person who can help them get there feels
really good And so it's like, if I can do that,
if I can just like keep doing that, that to me
is like a fulfilling life. And so, so I think
like the vision is like, how do we live more
fulfilling inside? And, and I do that by enabling
the right people to go to bigger stages and transform
more people. I love what you do. That's one of
my favorite visions I've ever heard, Cam. It
gives me massive goosebumps. Okay, here I was,
19 years old. I'd just gotten to Uruguay. It
was my first Saturday in the country, and we
were baptizing two little girls, 9 and 11 years
old, and their 14 -year -old sister came prepared
to speak. at this event right and she was crying
because she was terrified there was going to
be like an audience of six people probably felt
like six million to her and i take her to a room
and i'm talking to her about like hey um if you
don't want to do this it's okay but you might
have to say a quick prayer um you know and if
you want to after like you can of course do it
so she gets on stage and she does her thing right
um and she's just glowing and so excited and
this little confidence boost came in the reason
why this relates and why it's so important visionaries
is this little girl a couple years later went
on to serve a mission in chile and so here my
two -year mission of helping thousands and thousands
of thousands of people every day for two years
and knowing the impact that i got to create of
that then got extended to the other side of the
continent where she got to do that for 18 months
and help people now she's got a beautiful family
and the just having the opportunity to plant
the seed of giving her the confidence and helping
her get on that stage and do that that for the
rest of my life will be one of my most cherished
memories. And as Cam pointed out, we'll get to
that over and over and over, but Cam takes that
to the next level and takes these visionaries
and does these amazing sizzle reels that I'm
going to put some links associated with this
episode. So you guys can see that, but definitely
go over to his brand. His brand is the frequent
speaker. and check out some of those sizzle reels.
And you can see that I'll also give one other
pointer for you visionaries out there. You can
see that there's an amazing quality that exists
from a production standpoint. And with some of
these speakers, you'll see that they have a lack
of content. I'm going to highlight that. This
is not CAM's limitation. That would be their
limitation. they need to have as much content
as possible so that people like Kim can put together
great reels. If my team spoke English, most of
them speak Spanish that do the reels for me,
they would be laughing hysterically right now
because they've had to put together scissor reels
with my lack of content sometimes. So there are
limitations on both sides, but what Kim is doing
for his clients. I'm already bought in. I'm like,
golly, I've got to pick Kim's brain, bring him
around more, see what we can do to help more
of the visionaries out there. So if you have
questions about that process, absolutely let
us know. Kim, you talked about purpose, which
just, again, that hit me so hard because it's
the essence. It's what we're doing. These people
that are going on stage, they do want to change
the world. They may not feel they can do that.
What are some of your favorite aspects about...
the process of bringing people's vision to life.
I'm so glad you asked that question. I'm actually
so excited to keep talking with you because it's
so exciting. I get so fired up. If you had to
pick one thing about your business that you love,
right? And we've all got stuff that we don't
love. Like I don't particularly love doing payroll
or taxes. I don't particularly love curating
content. It's just not my favorite thing to do.
I've got a team around me who supports me with
the things that I don't love doing. But the one
thing, the one thing I love doing and I will
never give away is the interview process. So
let me tell you a quick story. So I had a client,
her name is Christine, and you can see her demo
reel in my portfolio. And when I worked with
Christine, she said, Cam, I participated in this
program and I've got this interview. It's not
stage footage, but it's an interview. Do you
want it to put in the demo reel? I'm like, sure,
why not? I used to do podcasts. I know interviews.
I can know a good one when I see it. And I watched
this interview and I was like, this is like a...
8k three camera setup it was like she had to
physically mail me a hard drive because it like
the upload times were going to be like eight
days to upload and i was like it was two terabytes
worth of video and i was like holy crap how do
i even like use this content because if for anyone
like video nerds out there like it was film is
black magic and black magic raw files it's just
nuts it's like crazy to work with but what i
saw in that was like a depth of a depth of of
story, kind of like what we're doing right now
with from that speaker that I'd never done in
any real previously. And I think it's sort of
like any entrepreneur I speak with, you've got
these kind of like bookmarks in your entrepreneurship
journey, like when things changed and all of
a sudden you start to see that trajectory kind
of like start to angle upwards a little bit more.
And working with Christine was that one moment
because I took in her interview and I said, that's
it from this moment on. any speaker who doesn't
have content any speaker who's lacking something
i'm going to interview them in depth 90 minutes
i'm gonna like get them to to to to i'm gonna
get them that content that they're lacking and
the first couple times i totally botched it like
you know it's hard it's hard like we were kind
of figuring it out and stuff like that but you
know what the key was was was like when i started
to take total control and ownership of that direct
success of that interview with the client So
I started to book a studio. I would book their
videographer. And ultimately, I would start to
fly down to the speaker to interview them in
person because in -person interviews always land
differently. The little moments of delays that
happened in Zoom and this call are totally eliminated.
You can kind of look around and say, this scene
is great, but I want it like this instead. So
you can kind of take that total ownership. So
I love to just encourage anybody, like any visionaries
who are listening, right? Like the more you can
demonstrate the, the, the, that you are on the
same side as your client, right? Like that you
want to like. you want to own their success with
them. And because that's like, you're both together,
like rah, rah, this is awesome. When I started
to like do that, that changed, that changed my
business. It changed the way that I did stuff.
So that's kind of like, I think I've enough of
answering the question. I'm kind of going off
on a bit of a tangent. There's that one moment.
There's that one moment where like, like she
changed it. I'll be forever in debt to Christine
to like allowing me to work with that because
I don't know when I would have done that next,
but that. that part changed the way that i do
business and that is it created opportunities
to have deeper conversations with people to interview
them to understand like the why the why this
is so important to you like why do you care about
why do you care so much about getting people
to listen that's that was her topic or i went
another speaker he um he's a top 50 ted head
speaker and uh he actually he spoke just before
simon sinek in one of his ted talks on the ted
stage not fedex but on the ted stage And to be
able to interview him, he used to be a highway
patrolman. And he's rescued over 450 people from
jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. And to hear
his story, to ask him in -depth questions about
that. You don't get up on stage and start to
tell these stories of like, let's talk about
suicide from stage, unless you're hired for that.
But to be able to go in -depth and ask him those
questions about the why does this matter? Why
is this important? it connects people through
video it connects people through this little
like red dot that you have in front of you in
a way that's so different from just the way you
portray yourself on stage because all stages
are performing you're performing when you get
on stage you're not connecting with people so
that was like a big like shift for me so anyway
oh there's so many i wish i could expound on
i've got a mastermind to run um in spanish in
three minutes that i gotta prepare for and i've
got a i've got a concert performance on saturday
i got i got contracted to sing and play the guitar
i've never done that before it's gonna be a lot
of fun not on stage at least um it'd be really
funny if i got a contract and i had never played
the guitar um but it is a little bit more i'm
a little more prepared than that vision pros
i want to stay on track with this so this is
huge i'm probably gonna be a little bit late
to my mastermind but what i did ask cam as you
noticed he did answer the critical piece about
his answer though I don't know if you guys saw
the passion, the fire, the tone, the cadence,
the fact that he even got lost in the subject
because he just cares so much. I mean, that's
really what it was about. What do you love most?
You know, and if you as a visionary aren't connecting
with your vision that way, if it's kind of cerebral
or it's kind of like, oh, I'm going to open a
vape shop because there's one every corner now.
It's like that's not a that's not. that's probably
not your vision. That's probably not your purpose.
You know, it's, it's something that drives you
to talk with a passion that he just talked about
and the expertise that he just talked about.
So I love it, Kim. I'm excited to have you back
on the show as well. If you're willing to come
back, I would love to have you. There's so much
more we can add in and help people with vision
pros. Those of you who want to be on the stage,
you don't need a scissor roll. Most of our guests
have not had them. And some of them are world
-class speakers as well. even though they don't
have it. So I'm going to be connecting cam to
them because I'm like, they need it. Um, but
you can come on as a first time visionary and
talk about it. It's in that button that says,
be our guest. It's on the right, left, down.
I don't know where it's at. You'll find it says,
be our guest, click on it. And then, uh, just
book your appointment to come on and share your
vision. We want to help you reach your audience.
