In this episode, we’re diving into the rapid rise of Will Whiteley—a wedding videographer who went from zero to a fully booked $6K+ brand in just 13 months. Yep, THIRTEEN. From saying “yes” to every opportunity, to refining his client experience, to showing up in a suit and bowtie at every single wedding (even the barn ones), Will is proof that growth doesn’t have to take forever.
Inside this convo, you’ll hear: → The mindset shift that helped him grow faster than most do in 5 years
→ How your brand positioning impacts your pricing (hint: it’s not just about your films)
→ Why obsessing over your client experience is the real game-changer
→ The #1 thing you can start doing today to elevate your brand, instantly
If you've ever thought, “I haven’t been around long enough to raise my prices” or “I need to wait until I’m more experienced to go for it” — this one’s for you.
Because here’s the truth:
You don’t need more time.
You need more intention.
You need a plan.
And you need to start right now.
Hit play and get inspired to take action—because the fastest way to build a high-end wedding business is to stop playing small and start acting like the pro you already are.
