Interview Takeaways:
- Your Smartphone Is Your Studio – You don’t need fancy gear or a big budget to start a media company. If you have a phone and internet access, you already have everything you need to share your story with the world.
- Quantity Leads to Quality – Don’t wait for perfection. The only way to improve your content is by creating more of it. Post often, fail fast, and stay consistent—because mastery only comes through repetition.
