Risking it All

Joel’s experiences have shown him how entrepreneurship works where his faith has continued to grow. After taking many risks over the years, he has built a sense of trust in knowing it’s all going to work out. He feels much more comfortable taking risks now than he used to in the past.  

Why Live Broadcasts Build Connection

Live video is the most social form of social media we have. – apart from speaking to someone in who is in the same room as you. Live video is the closest thing we have to that. Especially when you bring in other people into the conversation.

Those who don’t use live video are missing out. Why? Because an audience can really relate to videos. If anyone wants to grow in this day in age, you want to access the 2 billion people that are using Facebook each month.

Dealing with Overwhelm

People get overwhelmed by the idea of going on camera, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Basically, all you are doing is telling stories. You don’t have to script it. You don’t need to have makeup on or your hair done. And you don’t need a beautiful set. If all else fails, you have experiential storytelling to share. If you’re interested in what you are doing, it’s the perfect opportunity to go behind the scenes and share about it. That authenticity is what connects with people.

Mistakes

People try to script it out. That doesn’t leave room for engagement! It’s a huge mistake to do a “one-way” engagement when you broadcast. Always leave it open.
