005: Preparing for Your Brand Video Shoot (and more music)

This is the 3rd episode Chris Ryan has been on, and we’ve only done 5 episodes. What’s up with that? Simple. He’s a great co-host and we have a lot of fun together - as it should be.

Chris owns Ryan Video Productions. As he says on his website, “Let’s do some good work together!” He means it, as evidence by his client testimonials and the people I’ve talked to who’ve used his services. 

Chris and I share a love for music. We’ve both been involved in the seen for years. While Chris worked in a radio station DJ’n several shows, I started behind a mic producing podcasts before it was called podcasting. Back then, it was often called “audio blogging.” So yes, this episode is largely dominated by talking about the musicians, bands, and experiences we’ve had along the way. But don’t worry, Chris will let you know how best to prepare for your video shoot BEFORE you hire the videographer.
