There are NO excuses!

There are NO excuses!

When I first began shooting #STEM and #science videos, I had no connections in the media space and no friends who produced videos, but I knew what I wanted.

I decided to be the producer, videographer, script-writer, voice over artist, and editor for 2 years consecutively.

When I first got a full-time salary, I ONLY spent excess income on production equipment. No new clothes or furniture. My friends would always crack jokes about how I had the living standards of a freshman in college.

I'd often put together scrappy setups like this one, where I had a wireless mic jacked into a camera, using my smartphone as a WiFi remote, lighting the scene with affordable LED lights that ran on rechargeable batteries.

I was EXTREMELY inefficient, but the 50+ videos I shot during this time became the building blocks of my portfolio.

This portfolio was leveraged to get opportunities to work on professional productions, which is how I was able to get features on outlets like Forbes and Essence, which is why my career today as a FULL-TIME keynote #speaker and science TV personality is possible!

If you want it bad enough, sacrifice leisure, comfort, new clothes, new furniture. Get scrappy, and commit yourself to the vision.
