By |

In the aftermath of the pandemic, we are seeing a rise in video content – from Zoom calls to social media.

If the last five years have taught us anything, it’s that we can’t always meet with our clients in person. So, the next best thing to connect in an easy and authentic way is through video. 

In this episode, Rebecca Hourihan has guest Katie Braden, CFP®, founder of Innovating Advice, on the podcast to discuss the power of video and ways you can use it to your advantage.

Katie discusses:

  • How video has evolved in the last 10 years
  • Simple ways to get started with quality video 
  • The different tools you can use to bring your video content up a notch
  • Why the video approach can be better than using traditional media
  • And more
