Shifting Focus with John Bunn

While the host might be booking $30k weddings, the rest of us aren’t and it’s not realistic to expect that. Diving into that realm is pointless because the audience for that is less than 1% of 1%

First off, John and Nick do an incredible job of elevating the wedding film industry and educating and training other filmmakers. However, within the past 1-2 years this podcast has taken a more brand-centered tone. It feels like nearly every single podcast episode is trying to sell you on something they sell, whether it be their courses, Mastermind group, etc. Which is fine. I know John and Nick are ultimately trying to point people toward these paid methods of education, which I’m sure are beneficial, but if you’re looking for a podcast that will inform and educate, listen to the first 150 episodes or so and then move on.

Their first year or two was definitely the best and most helpful.

When I first found this show, I loved it! They talked about what gear to use, how they like to approach the wedding day, wedding war stories, all of the stuff you’d want to hear about. Over the last few years John and Nick have focused each episode on growing your business, raising your prices, and mastering social media rather than actually shooting weddings. They are shooting less and less and now pushing their online courses more than anything. This is all fine and good, but I feel that they should change the title of the podcast to How to Sell Weddings because they no longer talk about shooting, editing, gear or anything you would want to know about wedding videography. I don’t hate this show, but I am just a little disappointed with the direction the show has taken. It seems like a lot of the episode topics seem to be about the same thing each week and I am on the fence about unsubscribing.
