5 Min Live: The Truth About Short Videos

Are short videos really the only way to get attention now?

I keep seeing this advice everywhere — “If you’re not making short videos, you’ll never grow.”
It’s catchy, but it’s not the whole truth.

In today’s 5-minute pop-up live I shared why relying only on shorts is a quick-fix strategy that rarely builds lasting trust or clients…and what actually works instead.

I’m doing these quick 5-minute livestreams as a personal challenge to be more concise while still giving you high-value tips. Follow along if you’d like practical, myth-busting insights you can actually use.
