## Resource

I’m joined this week by Cameron Watt for a refreshingly honest conversation about what happens when you decide to "burn the boats" and go all-in on a dream. Cameron is an Australian–English film producer and director whose debut film, Project Impossible , hit cinemas globally in 2024. As the founder of Skie Video, he has built a reputation for producing premium, story-driven content for everyone from hungry startups to major enterprises. But the road to turning passion into profit wasn't a straight line; Cam literally sold his house and car to start a production company without even knowing how to turn on a professional camera. Throughout the episode, Cam and I dive into the reality of scaling a team to eight staff and the humbling experience of pivoting back to a leaner model when the economy and business partnerships shifted. We explore the "Creator Economy" and why so many entrepreneurs struggle to bridge the gap between being a "creative" and a "business owner." We also discuss the "two-week holiday test"—a brutal but necessary metric to determine if you actually own a scalable business or just a high-pressure job. Whether you are a creative or a service-based founder, Cam’s insights on hiring for grit, finding the right "tribe," and seeking mentorship to uncover your blind spots are invaluable. We also touch on a powerful personal moment where a health scare refocused Cam’s perspective on what truly matters: people and presence.
