Making the move to creating your first bit of video content is a brave one. The first time I saw the red light staring back at me I was filled with dread and fear. 25 takes later I was still no closer to creating my first video for Brand Master Flash. But I persevered and now I create weekly videos, accumulating thousands of views across my channels. My content creates opportunities and I connect with people across the globe in a unique way that's unique and separates me out from my competition. After 16 years of business, it's the best thing I've ever done. I have to thank one man for giving me the courage and confidence: Mr Gavin Bell. I came across Gavin's content about 3 years ago and I was amazed, firstly, at how confident and knowledgeable he was at such a young age, and, secondly, at his magnetic style and manner. Gavin is always on the cusp of new marketing techniques, platforms, media and technology. He creates interesting, relevant and engaging content that is repurposed across all his platforms. From podcasts to blogs, and videos to tweets, Gavin is fast becoming a master of marketing and is undoubtedly one of best in the country. I caught up with Gav to find out what drives him to be a leader in his field, how he developed his personal brand and why he's now building an agency. Enjoy.

Noteworthy questions: How do we approach uncertainty and increase bandwidth? (14:15) How do we respond if we’re in an uncertain place? (26:05) Do we need endurance in our life? (43:32) How do we build endurance into our life? (43:32) Key takeaways Those who have been going to the mental gym will have a little bit more bandwidth to navigate. Ask yourself, is this happening TO me or FOR me? If so, am I allowing it to happen? When you’re grateful, you can’t be afraid at the same time. It’s physiologically not possible. Do you have the intent and commitment to build yourself day by day? The things that numb and medicate you takes you away from your real experience.
