Welcome back to another episode of Do the Impossible.
Today, we have a special guest joining us, Alexander Scott Felice, a former real estate investor turned passionate camera guy. Alex shares his incredible journey of transitioning from a lucrative career in real estate to following his true passion for cameras. But it wasn't an easy decision for him, as he initially hesitated due to the potential lack of profitability. However, after receiving coaching from Jason, Alex made the leap and fully committed to being a camera guy. He even packed up his life and moved to the beautiful paradise of Maui, where he now thrives as a full-time camera guy, loving every moment of it.
But Alex's story doesn't end there. He has bigger dreams of growing a team and his brand to help other entrepreneurs create phenomenal content. However, he is currently facing some challenges and seeks advice in managing his team and improving his hiring process. We dive deep into his experiences, discussing everything from the subjective nature of art and imperfections in lighting, to accepting oneself and shifting perspectives.
Tune in as Alex opens up about his struggles, his vision to make a big impact, and his desire to support fellow entrepreneurs in their content creation journey.
