CreativeMornings - 🚀 Set an audacious goal

August 1, 2024

“Once I started a project bigger than I thought I could accomplish, it really helped pull me out of my depression.”

Artist Ryan “Henry” Ward starts his talk by listing the vehicles that he’s lived in over the years. Keeping his expenses low enabled him to travel the world and make art. But struggles with addiction and mental health issues made making a living even harder.

Then he set a goal to paint 50 murals and it changed everything… after he did the work. Watch this candid talk from our Seattle chapter on overcoming obstacles to live a vibrant life.

How to Make Better Videos That Get Results

People watched more videos than ever last year. To meet this rising demand for video, companies had to think outside the box, even when money was tight and resources were thin.

So what did the best video strategies look like last year? Wistia set out to discover how folks made videos, which videos they made, and what they did to make their videos bring real results for their business. Check it out in their “State of Video Report: Video Marketing Statistics for 2024.”
