Lights, coffee, action! ?? This morning was a hit at Tell Studios for Java with Jean where coffee and conversations set the stage for a morning full of creativity and connection.?? Following Java, the spotlight turned to Ryan Koral, founder of Tell Studios, for an incredible workshop: "Video Marketing Quick-Start: Create Content That Converts Using Just Your Smartphone." Attendees learned how to direct, film, and produce professional-looking content right from their phones using the T.E.L.L. Framework. It was a masterclass in storytelling and user-friendly video production! Our members received a behind-the-scenes studio tour showcasing Tell Studios' creative magic where stories come to life. Huge thanks to Ryan and the Tell Studios team for an unforgettable morning and our Java with Jean Sponsors, Edward Jones Financial (Paul Dries, AWMA? ) and Unicom Solutions! Missed the action?
