A live, hands-on workshop for filmmakers and video professionals who are tired of the chaos and ready to build something deliberate, stable, and sustainable.

Not a course.

Not a content binge.

Not motivation that fades.

A 30-day, small group workshop focused on making the decisions you’ve been avoiding and building real systems you can rely on.

New groups kick off every 4–6 weeks.

The Real Problem

You don’t need more advice, you need sequence.

What to decide first.
What to build next.
What actually matters for you right now.

Without that, everything feels confusing and heavier than it should.

The 30-Day Founder Group Sprint gives you a clear order of operations and the support to execute.

Who this is for

This sprint is for video professionals who:

  • Are building a real career or rethinking how they work

  • Have real projects under their belt and want more consistency and control

  • Are busy but not fully in charge of their direction or income

  • Know they need structure, not more ideas

  • Are ready to make decisions and put systems in place

  • Are ready to invest time, energy, and $1,000+

Who this is not for

This sprint is not a good fit if you:

  • Are still learning the craft

  • Haven’t done real client or professional work yet

  • Don’t have a portfolio, reel, or body of work

  • Want a passive course to watch on your own time

  • Are looking for shortcuts or guarantees

  • Are not ready to invest in your career

New groups kick off every 4–6 weeks.

“On a practical level, one coaching call alone helped me turn a potential project into $3,000 in recurring bookings. What really stands out is Jonathan himself. He brings real-world experience, but more importantly, he’s honest, genuinely invested, and someone you want in your corner.

Terese B.

“Jonathan's Founder sprint was incredible and a breakthrough for me on how to treat my craft and creativity like a business. I learned so much and would happily take it again to continue unleveling. Jonathan is a great coach and listener and really gets it.”

Liz H.

“Jonathan’s really really good at cutting through the noise and getting to what actually matters. The sessions were focused and practical, not theoretical. Being with a small group of experienced pros was a big plus too!”

Mike H.

“Great, great, great mentor! Jonathan's knowledge and experience are incredible, and his kindness stands above all else.”

Esteban C.


How the sprint works

This is a small group experience focused on putting real systems in place, not a passive program.


First: a 30-minute 1:1 kickoff meeting. We look at where you are, what’s holding you back, and what needs to be built first so the sprint adapts to the group.

4 Group sessions (60–90 minutes each)

Session 1: Positioning and story

Get clear on what you actually do, who it’s for, and how to explain it without overthinking.

Session 2: Ideal clients and offers

Define who you want to work with and shape offers that attract them. Fewer random projects. Less guesswork.

Session 3: Systems and delivery

We build simple systems that create trust before a client ever says yes and support consistency after they do.

Session 4: Momentum, marketing, and next moves

Turn clarity into action and lock in next steps so progress doesn’t fade once the sprint ends.

What’s included

  • 30-minute 1:1 onboarding call before the sprint begins

  • Four live group sessions over 30 days

  • Direct access to me and the group via a dedicated Slack channel

  • Ongoing feedback, guidance, and accountability

  • Session replays and supporting workbooks, planners, and resources

By the end of the sprint, you’ll have

  • Clear, memorable positioning people can repeat

  • Defined offers clients understand and know how to buy

  • Pricing you can stand behind without second-guessing

  • Simple systems that support consistency and trust

  • A confident approach to sales conversations

  • A practical framework for your website, reel, and case studies

  • A clear sense of what to focus on next

Not theory.
Real traction, momentum, and clarity.
