From Camera-Shy to Content King: Ed Oyama on Embracing Imperfect Video for Business Growth
Ed Oyama used to hate being on camera. Twenty years ago, he had a blast editing videos for his church's college group - but he couldn't talk on camera to save his life! But one day he tried something different. He stopped chasing perfection and simply showed up - walking and talking with his phone, sharing what he knew. And in just over a year, he 4x’d his LinkedIn following, 60x’d his YouTube audience, booked 40+ calls and closed over $10k in new business… all by making simple videos. Now, Ed teaches others to do the same in his Small Business Video School, where in the last two months students have made over 314 videos and started booking in leads and clients!
