Impactful Quotes from Chris:
“I just started getting bored with jobs, I would do really really well but then would get bored, so I kept jumping from job to job.”
“I started filming and editing all on my iPhone and that was it, I did my first wedding on an iPhone.”
“Shadow somebody. It's not to take away from the talent that he has, but the videography world is very complex and difficult.”
“The biggest hurdle I had was I didn't know anybody in the industry, so I was just kind of winging it at the time.”
“I was actually homeless for four months --In reality I was sleeping in my car and buying food whenever I could.”
“It was a solid year to a handful of months of just throwing content out all over the place, and just building, building, building.”
“I have an amazing opportunity in front of me all the time.”
“A wedding client other day texted me saying-- I just watched the video and I couldn't even imagine my day without you.”
“I would much rather go through and fail with an idea and give it a go, rather than regretting not doing it at all.”
