“If five people watch the video, be happy. Because all we’re focused on is doing your first 50 videos. So once you get past those first 50 videos that are not perfect...then you can see if this is going to work for you.”
- Monte Weaver
 
This episode of The Videocraft Show features a conversation with Monte Weaver. Monte is a digital strategist turned content creator who teaches all things tech and social media.
