Producing a Short Film and How it Changed my Business | Episode 53

Smiling is not going to help you feel confident in video, but here’s a few things that will. Keep in mind that confidence is a result, it’s an outcome. Confidence isn’t something you have to have before you take action, it’s a result of you believing you performed that action well.Once you create a pattern of performing at something well, your confidence will grow. Every single time you go Live on Facebook and engage with your audience, your confidence will grow in your capabilities of that action.Here are my three strategies to summon confidence on-camera…It all starts with one simple thing… preparation. It is my unshakable opinion that feeling prepared is the KEY to feeling confident. Body Language, this is the key to appearing confident.Your energy, this is the piece of you that will keep your audience coming back for more.The biggest misconception today is that you begin with confidence. That you must have confidence to succeed. Friend, this could not be further from the truth. You have every single thing that you need, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I began speaking on-camera  long before I felt confident in doing so. Allow yourself to start and improve along the way.🎙Take  the first step in creating your podcast by joining me on Buzzsprout!

3 Strategies to Summon Confidence |   Episode 52

I recently spoke at my first conference and learned some valuable lessons my first time professionally taking the stage.The most remarkable part of the experience was how similar the skillset I use to speak on camera was to the skillset I used to speak on a stage. Key skills like preparation, body language, and energy are all components that work virtually the same on stage as they do on  video. I am simultaneously reading Atomic Habits, where James Clear breaks down how every action we take inside of a habit feeds the information of how we identify ourselves. For example, every time you go to stretch and go on a run, those actions feed into your identity as a runner.What I didn't realize until very recently, was the power behind the consistency of creating content weekly, like this Podcast. For a full year I have cultivated the habit of confidently speaking in each podcast episode. Every time I did this, I subconsciously fed into the idea that I am a confident speaker.This new identity as a confident speaker followed me onto the stage and into the networking event that followed.The purpose of me sharing this revelation is to emphasize the fact that you do not need to wait until you are in the room to begin the skill that is Speaking Confidently. You can cultivate it from your living room, using the power of video. NOW is the time to get begin working on your craft, so that when the opportunities come, you trust yourself enough to say yes.🎙💚Take the first step in creating your podcast by joining me on Buzzsprout!

Speak with Confidence | Episode 51

Time to check in with the stories we tell ourselves.  If thoughts like 'I don't Have Time' or 'I'm so stressed' are running wild in your mind and in your business, this episode is for you. Let's talk about that inner monologue that runs our thoughts all day. Mine was very recently "I don't have time." I went through a state of constantly wishing I had more time. I felt like I had no time to accomplish what needed to be done in my business. One week I had a very busy week, where I truly "had no time". I was in survival state, one day at a time, busy and hustling. Then that very busy week ended, but the story went on. I continued to believe that I was in survival mode. I continued to perpetuate the story "I have no time."As I continued to play into that narrative, I continued to make worse decisions. These decisions lead me to believe I had even less time on my calendar.So, how do you stop this story? How can you re-claim your narrative and get back in the driver's seat of your own story?The first action step is to know which story you are no longer going to allow to control you and have power over you. These emotions tend to latch onto each other, so simplify it and understand which of these is hurting you, and focus on that.The second step is identifying what steps you can make in order to give you more (blank). For me, the bank was time. To get more time in my schedule, I needed to release control of a few things.The third step is claiming what the new narrative for you will be.  What is your new story? Write it down, put it on a sticky note on your fridge. Say it to yourself multiple times a day, this is your new TRUTH! "I have as much time as I need" is my new narrative. That's my new story.Time for you to pick up the pen and re-write yours!🎙💚Take the first step in creating your podcast by joining me on Buzzsprout!

Social Media Expert Amber Weyrauch shares her experience with Instagram Reels and how they effect your overall social media analytics. She shares the valuable findings behind running a 30-days-of-reels campaign herself and gives us the REAL numbers from her own research. Listen in to understand how an account with under 10K followers was able to reach 110K non-followers and doubled her follow rate within ONE month of creating Reels. Amber runs a Virtual Assistant Agency called Socially Inspired Management, and states that if you have a desire to grow, you should find a way to make Reels work for your business. She also details her method for showing up consistently on social media, which I personally love. She reviews not needing to be perfect, but to instead set a pattern or a schedule that you can maintain.You can connect with Amber any of the following ways:www.sociallyinspiredmanagement.comInstagram / Facebook: @sociallyinspiredmanagementPodcast: The Inspired Biz🎙💚Take the first step in creating your podcast by joining me on Buzzsprout!

Consistency Leads To Conversion with Amber Weyrauch | Episode 47

Today, I challenge you to audit your thoughts. What is that voice in your head saying to you all day long? Is that voice positive or negative? This episode is based off a quote my mom says all the time: "Positive Thoughts Make Positive Things Happen." It's a very simple concept that states:  what we focus on in life, grows. Does it mean you have to have a perfect life? No, but you do have to focus on the positivity in order to create more of it. Auditing this inner voice is a practice. It is an area that requires active maintenance.Let's reflect on those thoughts we have about ourselves. What do you think about yourself? Your business, your relationships? What do you think about your habits? Do you think you have a high self-esteem? Are you a hard-worker? The first step in this process is to spot any negative thoughts that aren't serving you any longer.Then we have to re-write those thoughts. Not just in public and on our social media, but even when you're talking to a close friend, or just thinking to yourself. Ever caught yourself down-playing your business as a "little business"? Ya, let's banish that thought right here and now.As you're re-framing these thoughts, speak to yourself with the kindness and grace you would use to speak to someone you admire and respect. We often say things to ourselves and about ourselves that we wouldn't dare say about someone we loved. Keep this in mind: you can't hold space for both. You cannot hold space to grow your business and constantly doubt yourself. You have to pick one. I picked creating a podcast over hating the sound of my own voice. With consistency and practice, I now do not mind the sound of my own voice. Heck, sometimes I think it sounds pretty nice.Positive thoughts make positive thigs happen. Let's turn your mind into a blossom of openness and positivity!🎙💚Take the first step in creating your podcast by joining me on Buzzsprout!

Positive Thoughts Make Positive Things Happen | Episode 46

Are you allowing the need to be perfect stop you? What would happen if you let that idea go, and realized you had every component you need to create that next big thing, today?  Let me just remind you, B+ work is ok. Release yourself from the pressure that it has to be perfect. That it has to be A+ before it's launched. This episode is your permission to do that next thing, without getting it perfect.Why does it terrify us over-achievers to release B+ work into the world? That's a problem I've worked on heavily since becoming an entrepreneur. The honest-to-goodness truth is, as long as you're adding value to every single thing you create, then you are wasting no one's time. You can always refine and finesse as you go.When you keep waiting for permission, or validation, or someone else's approval, you are wasting your time. No one can come along and make these decisions for you in your business. A good coach can help you, but only on the things you tell them. What about those deep-rooted feelings of shame and fear that we don't vocalize?Is there an action or a decision that you are actively avoiding? I caught myself doing this for over a month. I knew I was avoiding something, I knew I had all the tools I needed, but I let myself push it off because "I was too busy." The truth is, what I was doing required a push. It forced me to dig deep. And in doing that I had to confront the fact that behind my excuse was a heaping pile of fear of failure.The truth is, I had every single component that I needed to create a B+ version and launch it out into the world. I was stalling and waiting for that A+ magic to fall in my lap. Let go of the idea of how it should look. Make it a reality using all the tools you have within arms reach. Use your network, phone a friend for help.Every minute you delay is time you are wasting. This is your permission, permission to be imperfect.🎙💚Take the first step in creating your podcast by joining me on Buzzsprout!

Permission to be Imperfect | Episode 45

From  a Telly-Award winning show host, to beginning my journey as an entrepreneur, THIS is my story. I have a decade-long relationship with production and presenting on-camera. This is how my storytelling journey began, and how it's shaped me into the Podcast Host and Entrepreneur I am today.What you may not know about me is that the deep drive behind my love of video, is really a passion for storytelling. Empowering others to tell their own unique story is one of my fundamental missions at Camera Brave. I believe confidence is the first step in owning your story. And while it can be difficult to embrace that it's our turn to tell it (hello, how has it taken me 44 episodes to tell my own story?!), the truth is that it isn't about you. It's about the impact your story will have on someone else.  In this episode, I dive into how I first became an impactful storyteller. My first major project was creating a short film on American Sign Language (ASL) Poetry, which went on to air on a local PBS Station. Later in college, I had the opportunity to discover and tell the inspiring history of how my family journeyed from Cuba to America. Telling these stories lit a fire in me. I love all things video because it allows to to connect deeper. Stories have the impact to encourage, inspire and change lives. That's why I HAD to start my own Podcast. Not because I thought I was so amazing that people had to listen to my voice, but because I knew it would create a platform and opportunities to tell meaningful stories. So, friend, it's time to get comfortable with telling your own story. Don't let it take you 44 weeks to tell your story! It isn't about you, it's about the people you have the power to effect. Your strength, resilience, and achievements can inspire more people than you can imagine. Your. Story. Matters!🎙💚Take the first step in creating your podcast by joining me on Buzzsprout!

My Story: On and Off Camera | Episode 44

Welcome to the Camera Brave Show where I help entrepreneurs build their confidence on-camera and learn to tell their story through video. Each week, I share topics that will help you frame your mindset to focus on your messaging, and teach you how to craft your camera presence. We dig deep into pillars like confidence, energy, and authenticity and how they can help you build deeper connections with your audience. If we haven’t met, my name is Marissa. I’m an award-winning camera personality who is completely self-taught. After spending nearly a decade working on my craft and being labeled a ‘natural,’ I have taken my process and created a coaching system, teaching you how to do the same. I’ve used this framework to transform business owners that were terrified of being on-camera, and can now fearlessly embrace their voice and connect with their audience. Please subscribe to get new episode notifications and listen in weekly to learn how to take the next step to embracing your inner storyteller and becoming Camera Brave.

The biggest thing that I see holding people back from creating video is this idea of "waiting". Waiting until you have the right equipment, a larger audience, more time in your schedule, the list goes on.Friend, do not allow this lie to stop you. You have every single thing that you need to begin taking videos that have the power to create massive amounts of growth and success within your business. Are you waiting, or are you stalling? Waiting is a momentum crusher, do not allow it to keep you stuck for one more minute.Find the encouragement you need to take the next step forward in this episode!🎙💚Take the first step in creating your podcast by joining me on Buzzsprout!

Are You Stalling? | Episode 43

Video Trends are a HUGE opportunity to get your business seen across platforms like Instagram and Tik Tok by an audience outside of your current followers. This is how you can approach trends authentically and use them to spread value.I occasionally hear a push-back regarding trends from my audience. And I think it all has to do with the way we define the word. When you think of "trend," what comes to mind? Is it a Tik Tok Dance trend, or an audio soundbite from The Office? If it's something that feels cringey or invaluable, of course you don't want to create it.When I think of "trend", I think of trending audio. This is audio that Instagram Reels are heavily promoting, due to a high number of users already creating content to that audio. And the amazing thing about trending audio: it comes in all shapes and sizes. It can be music that is soft and instrumental, upbeat and jazzy, or 80's pop. Music of all sorts of genre's will trend. Some of them will even not have vocals, making it perfect for you to voice over.Once you can see the potential in the concept of using trends and remove any negative thoughts you may have had initially, trends are nothing but potential to spread your video to a wider audience. Here are a few ideas for how you can begin to create trending videos without sacrificing an ounce of authenticity:Use Instrumental music and share your products or services.Structure your videos with a proper hook, CTA, and cover photo.Layer in alternative types of content, like a time-lapse of you during a coaching call.Add text on the screen with "5 tips for (fill in the blank).These are all ways to present value to your audience without having to hop on any trends that you don't love.

Creating a Podcast Part 1: Building the Pillars of your Show | Episode 40

There are two key components that make up a good coach: the ability to encourage and the ability to push. I'm a natural 'cheerleader', I've always been good at encouraging others and emphasizing positivity. The skill I've had to acquire as a coach is the ability to push my clients. We'll call it 'Tough Love'. In Episode 39, I dive deeper into this concept of getting out of my comfort zone to push clients, not just encourage them.This episode was encouraged by a recent coaching call I had inside of my Coaching Group, The Camera Brave Club. It was on our monthly Q&amp;A Call that I realized one of my clients on the call was stalling. She had created something truly amazing, but wasn't putting it out into the world. She had the courage to create the thing, but needed the push to publish it. I realized that I was the one who needed to guide her and push her. I couldn't just encourage what she'd created (which of course I did), but I needed to push her to that next step of publishing it.I had to tell someone that is relatively new to my coaching group to get out of their own way, put that date on the calendar, and start talking about it with their audience.To my clients that I've coached for some time, this isn't difficult for me to do. I can lay on the tough love when I see it's needed, because I know their goals and want to see them succeed. But for a newer client, I hesitated. This was our first Zoom call together, after all.One thing I realized, is that by staying quiet and simply encouraging her, I was doing a disservice to this woman. I wasn't honoring the time and money she'd invested in being in my group by just giving her a thumbs up. So while I was a little uncomfortable and nervous to be so direct, I had to push past it.And what happened? She responded incredibly to it. Why? Because she was seeking a coach! She wasn't seeking a cheerleader. She knew she needed a hand in getting to that next step and was ready to receive the advice I put her way.To my coaches, know that tough love is not only a part of the process, it's essential to the process! Own your expertise. Own that your advice is valuable. And do not allow yourself and your clients to stay small by coaching from a place of fear. Instead, coach from a place of leadership.💥Get Started with your Video Checklist💥A quick and easy guide to elevating your video content!

Tough Love: The Difference Between a Coach & a Cheerleader | Episode 39

Where is your Focus when you're taking video? How should you structure your mindset to deliver the most optimal content possible? The concept I teach is called a Message Mindset, and if you're not familiar with it, it will change your LIFE! Or, at least it will change the way you approach creating content. When you cultivate a Message Mindset, you focus 100% of your mental capacity on your content. You leave 0% capacity to worry how many times you said um. You have 0% capacity to worry about how many views your video will get or who's going to watch it. You are focused entirely and completely on the content you're delivering.The key to this process is by preparing content that is FULL of value. All good video starts with value. When you're just starting out, I recommend creating physical content outlines, with all the notes and pieces of value you are going to load inside your video.If this is an entirely new concept to you, then it's time to get back in touch with the value that you can offer. What are the processes and systems that you're an expert on? And yes, you are an expert. Sometimes we take for granted how much we know. Sometimes we are so immersed in our field that we forget we are speaking at a level 7 of jargon instead of at a level 3 (where your average audience is). It's time to reconnect with that value.One thing that can help you develop a message mindset is to remove yourself from the equation. If you are focused on feeling ill-equipped or not ready, then you are simply focused on the wrong things. What if you removed those feelings, and decided not to listen to them? Going one step deeper, think of it from the perspective of your audience. What value do you have that could change their life? What problems are they struggling with that you could easily solve for them? In what ways could you completely change their future if only you had the courage to speak up?Your content deserves to be heard through video. Your audience wants to hear you say the words and teach them the things. And through developing this message mindset, you can focus on fulfilling their needs with all the wonderful value inside of your wonderful mind.If you want to hear more about this concept, check out Episode 13 '5 Steps to a Message Mindset'. 💥Get Started with your Video Checklist💥A quick and easy guide to elevating your video content!

How to Focus your Mind and Nail Your Video | Episode 38 

Batching content simply means taking a bunch of photos and videos in one setting. When done right, it will MAXIMIZE your social media efforts and always keep your content bank full! Listen in for how to develop the best batch-creating system for your content.First, let me review some of the benefits of batch creating content....1. You only have to get camera-ready once! This is huge for me because if I'm not on-camera, I do not wear makeup. So I assign my content to days when I'm already camera-ready.2. You only have to set up for your video once. Hopefully your set up is just a few quick steps, but still. Once you have it out you can run down the line of creating content then put it all away.3. You get mentally in the zone of creating content. You become the content creator and get those bursts of inspiration. Your mind is already firing on all cylinders. So, how do you create the best batch-content creating process for your business? The first thing to do is build it as you go. Ignore the processes everyone else has, and begin building yours based off your actual content assets. For example, my assets are: the Podcast, monthly training videos inside of my private group, photos for social media, and recently- Instagram Reels. This list started with only the Podcast. That was the only piece of content I expected myself to deliver every single week. Then over time, it continued to build.When you build your content asset list as you go, you're able to learn your capacity. Some people create Reels for the month in one setting. Some hosts record 5 podcasts in a day. You have to decide where you are on that spectrum and allow yourself to add to your plate as you continue to create content.The next step for success is having your shot list ready so you know exactly what you're supposed to create. Do the preparation the day before, so that you're spending all the time you've set aside to create.So, where do you start? Start with picking one day of the week, and setting aside one hour to create your content.Mine is Thursday's at 10am, when's yours?💥Get Started with your Video Checklist💥A quick and easy guide to elevating your video content!

Benefits of Batch Creating Video | Episode 37

The value of video goes FAR beyond Instagram Reels. Being able to take video and show up confidently on-camera is a skill, and just like any skill, it's one you can monetize! This month inside of my coaching group, I am teaching a training on Zoom, and I realized that so many people may be stuck on the idea that video is only used for social media. The truth is, video has been a valuable tool for YEARS. Social Media and high-quality cellphones have just made creating and sharing videos more accessible than it's ever been. However, don't be fooled by thinking that's the only way to use video. Zoom is an excellent tool that can be used to monetize the videos you take. Here a few features I love about Zoom.The option to SEE the person you're talking to.The ability to record the content you take.The ability to share your screen when you're teaching.Being able to go Live through Zoom into a Facebook group (while still having the call recorded, so you can upload it anywhere and share it on any platform!)All of my Podcast episodes are recorded through Zoom. All of my trainings are recorded through Zoom. All of my coaching calls are recorded through Zoom. Inside my group, I record through Zoom and stream into Facebook Live, so it's easy for everyone to watch. (And no, this episode isn't sponsored, it's just a tool that I highly value).Here's how you can use those features to make money in your business...Recording video for a digital course. This way you have the ability to screen share, which is so helpful for educational-based courses. For example, I will show  things like equipment, editing examples, and how to stream from your Desktop, all of which couldn't be captured with a camera.Virtual Coaching Calls, which can be recorded and sent to your client after. The playback is SO helpful! They can go back and continue to gain value from the call. Also, you can go back and listen to any objections they had and capture their exact verbiage to help re-target your messaging.Building a membership or group coaching program. You can offer Live Q&amp;A Calls for your members, which can be so valuable to people just getting started! Hosting challenges or virtual events where you stream the content into a Private Facebook Group and offer the recordings for those who couldn't watch live.Digital products that you can sell on your website, for your audience to purchase at any time.Friends, there are SO many opportunities for you that open up when you can be confident on-camera.

Using Video to Make Money | Episode 36

If video feels like a massive hurdle that you don't know if you could ever overcome,  this episode is for you. I typically get two types of amazing entrepreneurs on the Camera Brave page:The first group has taken video a handful of times. They aren't brand new to it, but they do have a lot to learn and ideas to create.The second group has never taken video before. They feel 100 steps behind everyone and wonder if it's too late to try and get started. Let's take it one step deeper. These different people have completely different mindsets around the concept of creating video. Group one is indifferent. They are hungry to grow. They're most likely more willing to challenge themselves to learn new things.Group two is, quite frankly, terrified. They may feel anxiety around the idea of taking videos. They are afraid of showing up on camera for fear judgement. They question if they know enough about their industry.It is to those entrepreneurs that I want you to understand that you are NOT alone. Listen friend, the fact that you're listening to this podcast means you have the COURAGE to explore things outside of your comfort zone. You could do SO much with video and your business if you could just get over this hurdle. I have helped coach entrepreneurs out of this mindset and into the space to confidently take videos. Here are a few facts about being on-camera.You do not need to overcome all of your fears. You can do it afraid.You do not need to know the answer to every single question.You do not need to have spent 10,000 hours in your field to be considered an expert.What you do need to do is silence allll of those thoughts, and ask yourself: who needs me? Whose life can I change if I could finally take Zoom coaching calls? Who all could be impacted by the course idea I've been wanting to film for months?Becoming Camera Brave does not happen overnight. To get started, you have to believe that you have every single piece inside of you. That you are capable of overcoming all these fears that are stopping you. That you have the capability and responsibility to impact people.All that you need is the willingness to step outside of your comfort zone. Because, news flash, this does not require talent. Talking on-camera requires no natural-born talent. Just the ability to speak. Can you make it your craft and become skilled at it? Absolutely.But understand that this isn't effortless. Especially for me. I still trip over my words. I still worry if people are listening. I still feel nerves when I do Lives. I still take deep breaths before podcast episodes.People that appear Brave and Fearless on-camera can still be intimidated. They just have the willingness to dig deep. The difference is that push. The ability to do the thing that's tough because the reward is greater than that feeling.The possibilities of what you can create tomorrow are greater than the nerves you feel today. 💥Get Started with your Video Checklist💥A quick and easy guide to elevating your video content!
