This episode might just change your life. We’re discussing a particular style of video that is exploding right now, it’s unpolished and feels like you’re having an off the cuff Facetime call with a friend. We’re in a new era of talk to camera reels that I like to think of as the conversational expert, and I really need you to understand just how powerful this type of reel is. If you’ve been feeling stuck when it comes to your content, make this talk to camera reel this week. It’s not difficult and I’m sharing lots of viral examples as we talk through why these reels were so successful, so you can start creating your own today.


In this episode we’ll be covering:

  • Creating talk to camera reels where you show up and speak authentically, while also calling out identity.
  • How the conversational reel captures attention when we are already running on short attention spans. 
  • What’s going viral right now, we’ll analyze several examples to understand exactly what elements resonate and connect right now. 
  • Applying storytelling and attention grabbing details to your talk to camera reels.
  • The fall of authority driven content and how authority is perceived today, in what I like to refer to as soft authority.
