In this episode, I sat down with Ryant Nelson, founder of Reel Designs Media, to explore his journey from electrical engineer to creative entrepreneur. 

We talked about the early challenges he faced launching his video strategy and production company, and how mentorship and networking helped him find his footing.

Ryant shared the systems-thinking approach that’s guided his success, the mental toll of decision fatigue, and why repeat clients are one of the most powerful signs of doing things right.

We also got candid about the transition from corporate to entrepreneurship—what it really takes, what gets sacrificed, and how he protects his time and mental health while leading a growing team. 

From setting boundaries to promoting yourself with confidence, Ryant’s insights are a must-listen for any founder or creative building something of their own.

We wrapped up with a few great resources for videographers looking to level up their business operations.
