Summary

Imagine a wedding videographer who goes all-in on alignment, niching down, and grows to $300K+ in a year...

Meet Frankie, one of my Business Blueprint coaching students.

In this episode, I sit down with Frankie from Salt Shaker Films (one of my Business Blueprint students) who completely transformed his business. From $80–90K on the side, to turning down the wrong clients for him (even to the tune of $25k+ one month) to then making over $300K full-time as a videographer, this is what happens when skill meets strategy and conviction.

  • Scaling as a wedding videographer
  • $300K year after Business Blueprint
  • Niching into faith-based weddings
  • Demand mindset (“house party”)
  • Turning away misaligned clients

If you’ve ever wondered what’s possible, this is it.

All right, welcome back to the Passion with Purpose podcast, everybody. I am Nathan Chansky, your host.

0:06.5

Today I'm very excited because I'm not alone. I have Frankie with us here from Salt Shaker Films, which I am so excited about because Frankie's been, I've gotten to know him a little bit in my business blueprint program, but I really want to hear your story today Frankie because I know

0:22.4

bits and pieces of it and I it makes me very excited what I do here but Frankie start us

0:27.6

off with a little introduction on you what you do what location you do it from and just a

0:34.2

little bit about that yeah and they thank you so much of all, for having me on your platform very honored.

0:40.6

And thank you so much for providing this course as a platform for us to learn and progress.

0:46.4

So a little bit about us.

0:48.4

So my wife and I have been running our business, Salt Shaker Films, being salt. So from Matthew Fyne, the idea of being salt

0:56.4

and light for us. It's not just about us, but preserving something that's meaningful for our

1:01.7

couple as well. So we believe, so we are based in Sydney, Australia. So we believe marriage is

1:08.1

sacred and it's a God-honoring thing. A little bit about us. So in the last

1:12.3

couple of years, the whole industry has changed a lot. So we really need to dig deep in terms of who we are

1:18.3

really called to serve. So they didn't mend judgment or criticism for artists, but simply recognizing

1:23.8

that not every wedding is for us and vice versa as well. So we find that alignment

1:28.9

is really, really important for us. So we prayed about it. And about four years ago, we made

1:33.8

this decision that we want to specialize in weddings that honors Jesus. So since then, our work

1:40.1

has been really helping couples to not just tell the stories, but share their faith,

1:49.4

testimony, and the foundation they're building on the marriage on Jesus, which is incredible.

1:50.9

That's really, really cool.

1:53.3

So you, that's kind of like your niche.

1:58.1

It's really interesting because I've heard a lot of people niche specifically into Catholic weddings, for example, and I feel like that's like a budding niche that's coming to be.

2:02.6

And I'm not actually very familiar because I'm not Catholic myself.
