If you're waiting for the perfect moment, keep waiting.

That perfect moment doesn’t exist.

(not just for video. For anything)


→ There’s no perfect moment to get engaged.
→ No perfect moment to get married.
→ No perfect moment to have kids.


And there’s definitely no perfect moment to hit “record.”


But here’s what I’ve seen over and over (especially with founders and experts): We wait for the stars to align.


→ The right lighting.
→ The right mic.
→ The right mindset


And while we wait… nothing gets made.


The truth is that you could record a video *right now.*


You don’t even have to post it.
→ You just have to start.


You don’t need to master the full video content learning curve overnight (it’s a steep one).


Start messy. Start small. Just start.

Justin sits down with Renee Frojo to talk through what makes a story resonate in marketing and personal branding: real emotion, clear transformation, and the courage to be a little vulnerable. You’ll hear why your everyday experiences hold more power than you think, how to spot the stories worth telling, and why forced narratives fall flat. It’s not about perfection—it’s about being real, intentional, and relatable. If you’re looking to tell stories that build trust, not just noise, this episode will help you show up in a way that actually sticks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Connect with Renee: www.reneelynnfrojo.com To access our Free Video Mini Course on getting leads with video on LinkedIn: ⁠ https://www.dialogwith.us/intro ⁠  Here are several topics we cover in this episode: Storytelling is essential for effective marketing and branding.
