Branden Bodendorfer, Entrepreneur and Visionary, has deep
roots in Central Wisconsin and a wide reach around the
globe. Finding a passion for helping people market their business
and communicate their life moments, he co-founded a print
shop, Premier Printing in 2004. In 2010, Branden invested interest into discovering digital
media. Through this interest he founded Tri-Media, a
marketing, communi

cations and advertising company. Over
the last decade, Branden has worked to innovate rural
marketing through developing digital space in which local
businesses can thrive. Through those developments, he has founded two
additional media sites where his team communicates stories
about people, tech, businesses and organizations making a
dierence in Wisconsin. Explore and OnFocus have become
the leaders in the area in news, sports and lifestyle coverage
in Central Wisconsin.

“As an entrepreneur and visionary, it is challenging at times
to see your focus and know all the lines and dots you need
to connect to reach your goals,” he said. “It’s challenging
when, as individuals, we get pulled in several directions in a
day.”

Through these challenges, Branden has developed his own
planning system, The Key2Success Planner, which is
available for purchase worldwide. In addition to being an entrepreneur, Branden Bodendorfer
has a strong passion for photography and videography. In
2017, Branden took interest in drones and aerial photography. He has published videos and photography that have been
seen across the globe. Recently, his work was featured on ABC
World News, ESPN Monday Night Football, CNN, as well as
many aliated networks. Since starting his interest in drones, Branden has invested
countless hours educating people on the benets these
machines have, especially in the public safety sector. Through
working with public safety agencies, he has participated in
various missions and exercises, providing aid to missing
persons, Wisconsin Emergency Management, and
local organizations. He has even contributed time searching
for pets and lost farm animals. In such a short time, his work has been used by NOAA and
Research Scientists in Denver. He recorded and mapped the
longest tornado ever to touch down in the state of Wisconsin.

“We put ourselves out there so that we might help discover
something that will positively aect someone today or
inuence a generation to come,” said Branden when asked
why he volunteers for these risky situations. Throughout the past ten years, Branden has changed much
about how people get their information in Central Wisconsin. He has inuenced businesses and community leaders to think
dierently about their communication model.

This morning, Hudson woke me with a commotion, and I instantly knew Santa had been here. I quickly grabbed my drone, ran to the door, and captured this fleeting moment as he left Spencer.

It’s not the clearest shot, but it’s a reminder of the magic this season brings.

Merry Christmas to all! May the light of Christ fill your life with hope and joy today.

As a Photog, 2024 has been incredible! I traveled to Texas with Derek Scott Joswiak in April to capture the Solar Eclipse.

To this day, I still have over 1500 photos to cull through. I mentioned last week that I have not shared as much content this year. Truth be told, I spent more time in the moment capturing images and less time at the computer editing.

Here is a beauty that I was able to edit this morning.

Kind of cool to learn that today I made it in to the top 2000 YouTube influencers in the US, and top 2800 in the world.

- I started the channel in 2017 doing some daily blog content at random. However it wasn’t until 2020 that I started to do it on a more regular basis.

If there is anyone interested in becoming a content creator, I would be happy to share my experience. I will tell you this. It took me 18 months before I earned my first $100. Working on it on average 4 hours a week, it has grown into something.

People ask me all the time if you can make a living off it. The short answer is yes, the tough part is if you put full time effort into it. You would like work for free for 6 months. And only make $2k to $20k in your first year. And it most likely would take you 3 years before you were able to make a full time wage. Yet if you started today and committed to a niche that you could become an expert in. No doubt you would be able to retire from the venture within the next 10 years.

A channel with 10k subs could make a range of $7500 to $300,000 year based on their niche and number of incomes streams Their are about 7-9 incomes streams that would determine this.

Probably the most rewarding part is the ability to create content and have an impact on people around the world. This year alone I was able to connect with people in 71 countries. And in the last month I was invited to join Microsoft creator team, which consists of a handful of creators in the world.

My message to adults, if your young adult wants to create content. Encourage them to. If they are able to teach you, your family or friends a skill they know. Their knowledge could lead them into something that pays their way through college or helps them own their own home.

Working with Facebook can be challenging at times. When I post photos now, I have to export three different types of photos to ensure that the social media companies correctly compress the images.

This shot of the moon is with the latest recommendations for posting to Facebook. Let me know how sharp your devices look.

Organizing camera gear into bags is like this:
1. Bag for planned photo shoot of birds or planes
2. Bag for planned product, sports or Landscape shoot.
3. Bag for travel, minimal gear not knowing what you might see.
4. Go bag, no matter where you may go, you have a camera for that horse in the fog running free, bald eagle over a deer along the road, an unexpected sunset.

The unique part of this is staging lens in each bag the meet thr assignment. The challenge is have the camera bodies to pair.

I generally have an elected camera has my primary body for each instance. Currently bag 1 and 2 will carry a Sony A1 II, while 3 holds a A7CR and bag for is a Song A7RIV.

My favorite photos are the unexpected ones because they often share a story. Now this past year I have been blessed to have traveled and planned neary 20 days for photography. This year I have learned more about photography than previous years, but this year I posted the least amount of photos than any year since I started photography in 2017. I cannot really explain the why to that other than the fact that I didn’t feel right to share many of the experiences. Plus there were many times I saw an opportunity for a photo and thought, I have several shots that are complimentary to this shot.

Yet this is what struck me this week. I was in a store and someone flat out said, I love your photos, I search you weekly to see what you shared.

So to wrap this up, I feel social media at times has become this place where people try to cast a life for themselves that is entirely not who they are. They choose the best moments each day to share. At times being humble is hard for some, myself included. And I need to remind myself that I love to share photographs so they pop up in my memories, create a conversation with a friend the next time we chat or provide someone a sense of peace or joy.

All and all this post is a mixed bag of thoughts which is why a guy with a hint of adhd needs to organize his gear.

Excited for 2025 and a renewed commitment to myself and each of you to share.

So, this is a timelapse of last night's event. The moon was nearly a full moon. I could literally see my entire backyard. This made it challenging, as I had to adjust my camera settings for what I thought would be the settings I needed when the moon set and I could see the northern lights. I will say I am happy with the outcome, but I will adjust my ISO slightly next time. #northernlights #aurora #auroraborealis

Imagine a project where we tour Waterfalls throughout the midwest, capturing their beauty in a series of videos. The first video is in the works, aiming to not only show you the falls but also provide useful tips for your own trip. This project is a unique opportunity for those who may need assistance to experience the beauty of these falls. I'm excited to share this journey with you. Now I need some help with editing. Each video will be about 8 to 12 minutes in length. This is the first 5 minutes. Questions I have: 1. Do you like the background on the history of the falls 2. Covering some scenic information on traveling there 3. Nearby amenities like parks 4. My personal itinerary and day trip there? 5. Photography of falls 6. Cameos teaching how to take the photography? 7. Choice in music, nice to see it added or skip it? 8. Cover hiking and biking trails? 9. Local hotspots, ice cream shops, restaurants, shops? 10. And how did you get an EV there?
