YAPClassic: Ken Okazaki, How to Create High-Converting Videos with Just Your Phone

Young and Profiting (YAP) with Hala Taha

Ken Okazaki first got the bug for producing videos when he was a teenager. Years later, he went into the event business where his job was to “get butts in seats.” Every day, he was surrounded by crew, equipment, sets, and gear. Ken decided to pivot, take the video marketing part of the business, and start his own video marketing company.
