"Should you go to college?"

The question that plagues so many young people's mind and the question that even more professionals love to give their opinion on.

However, nearly every time I see someone weigh in on the "should you go to college" debate, there's one factor in the equation that many seem to glance over: you.

Everyone is going to have their own opinion and own experiences when it comes to college and every person is different. What worked for one person won't necessarily work for another. Where a college experience benefits one person might not provide that same benefit for someone else.

You see, the question, "Should YOU go to college?" has no universal answer because there is no one "You." There are millions of "Yous" out there, each with different personalities, goals, and ambitions in life and college might not be the answer for everyone.

Can you become successful by going to college? Absolutely.

Can you become successful by going to trade school? Most definitely.

Can you become successful by never going to school? Without a doubt.

Your life, your success, is what you make of it. Our paths in life are all different. You'll find the one that works for you!

Music and Art have always gone hand in hand so it’s no surprise that I’ve found a passion for designing album art. There's nothing more exciting for me than visually bringing a song or album to life.

While up until now, I’ve just done this for fun for the music I love, it’s something I wish to one day make a career out of.

It’s my goal to help many of the amazing musical artists bring the vision they have for their single/EP/album to life.

If you or anyone you know would be excited to work with me, please feel free to send me a message and let’s see how we can make your dream a reality!

It’s finally here!

For those who are unaware, I’m currently in charge of the internship program at the company I work for, the Lucas Howard Group.

Since I have received this position nearly a year and a half ago, I have worked hard to fine tune this program to be one of the most beneficial experiences a college student could have in a professional business setting.

There’s often a lot of negative discourse surrounding internships and a lot of companies who will often take advantage of and not fully understand what the true purpose of having an intern is.

It is your goal as an employer to provide the interns you hire with professional experiences and learning opportunities in the field they are pursuing, similar to that which they would gain in a college class.

Well today I’m happy to launch my course that’ll teach you how to do just that!

In this course, I’ll take you through every step and process that goes into running our internship program, what makes it so successful and give you the tools and information in order for your business to do the same!

For more information and to enroll, click here! >>> https://bryson-courses.thinkific.com/

If you have any questions regarding the course, please contact me at [email protected]

Learn how to create and run a successful internship program that will provide every intern you hire with a beneficial learning experience like none other. From finding the perfect intern to their final day, this course covers it all!

You can only choose ONE program! The rest disappear forever. Which one are you choosing?

Personally, I think I’d have to go with Photoshop.

In 2020, the amount of data we produced and consumed skyrocketed. What else are we going to do when we’re stuck indoors?

DOMO released their Data Never Sleeps 8.0 report showing just how much data we generated every minute in 2020.

In an ever growing digital world with a non-stop stream of content being uploaded and consumed every minute, standing out amongst the rest is harder than ever.

Are you someone in an admin position who struggles finding the perfect tool to assist with the onboarding process? Does your team have a lot of documents, assets, and files that are all over the place? I have the solution for you!

I’ve been able to use Google Sites to create an Intranet for our marketing team that has made the onboarding process a breeze and perfectly stores all the relevant files we need in a user-friendly and visually pleasing way.

I’ll be going over how we use it, the benefits it has provided for our team, and how you can get started in it yourself.

I look forward to seeing you there!

‼️HEY YOU‼️

Do I have your attention?

In a world where an endless sea of content is being posted every minute and being consumed even faster, you need to do everything you can to stand out amongst everyone else.

But grabbing people’s attention isn’t enough. If you want your consumers to take valuable action (like, follow, share, etc.) you need to ensure that once you have their attention, you keep it.

That’s the concept behind the Hook Point Formula, a term coined by Brendan Kane.

Be sure to follow me over the next couple of weeks as I explore some of the different ways you can not only grab people’s attention, but maintain it too.

Don’t feel like waiting? Click the link in the comments to read my latest blog post on the topic.

How do all of these influencers and seemingly random people able to get millions upon millions of views with some random piece of content yet the content you pour your heart and soul into can’t event seem to scratch the surface?

While your content may be great, is it great at grabbing peoples attention?

Read my latest blog “How Can You Grab People’s Attention on Social Media” where I go over some of the key factors your posts might be missing.

Do you post every video you make on every social media platform that you use but notice that it only ever seems to do well on one platform?

That’s because each platform is different and a 15 minute video you post on YouTube isn’t going to net you the same results if you post said video on Instagram.

This also has very little to do with your follower/subscriber count. I posted a Photoshop Tutorial once and YouTube and within two weeks, it broke 100 views. I posted that same video on Facebook and to this day, it hasn’t broken 100 views.

My page has much more followers than my YouTube channel does subscribers but the reason my video did so well on YouTube was because it was tailored for that platform.

So next time you’re making a video, take that extra time to edit together some different version that are tailored to all the platforms you’ll be posting it on.

I currently oversee a team of 12 interns that support me and the rest of the team in all of their marketing, social media, video production, and event planning efforts.

Wonder why your videos are performing well on one platform but not the other? 🤔

Each social media platform is different. Having an understanding of what type and length of content performs well on each platform is vital if you actually want your content to perform well.

A video you post on YouTube won’t perform the same as it does on TikTok. Tailoring your content in terms of approach and timing will help you see the results you want across each platform.

What advice do you have for creating videos on these platforms?

STOP BUYING EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT IN THE HOPES IT’LL MAKE YOUR VIDEOS BETTER! 🚫

Many people ask me, “Bryson, what kind of camera should I buy to make my videos better?” and my response it always the same, “Why do you need to buy a camera? You have perfectly good one in your pocket.”

Sure, buying a better camera might help in some areas, but only in small technical areas that most of your audience won’t notice.

When it comes to creating videos for social media, the quality of the content in your video is much more important than how good it looks. Make sure the content is solid before you make the decision to make a big purchase.

Buying fancy new equipment won’t automatically make your videos better. It’ll probably make it worse if you don’t know how to properly use the equipment.

Enjoy my green screen background that I didn’t edit out since After Effects decided to be a pain.

THE CONTENT CALENDAR IS DEAD! 😱

Now, hold on! Let me explain.

There’s no denying that having a good content calendar is great way to help keep your social media efforts consistent, especially if you’re a new account. And we all know that consistency is key in order to help your online presence grow.

But is the content in your content calendar stuff that’s worth posting? Your content calendar does you no good if it’s filled with mediocre content.

Rather than focusing on ensuring you hit some arbitrary quota of content each week, focus on making sure the content you do create is good and adds value to the audience you’re trying to reach.

It’s better to post 3 high quality pieces of content a week than 7 okay ones.

Ask yourself, “will this piece of content I’m working on add some sort of value to those who view it?”

“You know what you do. But do you know why you do it?” 🙏

We all understand what we do. We wake up each morning, we get to work, and understand what is we need to do and how to do it.

But do you know why you’re doing it?

No matter if you work for a company of 5 or 500 people (or even if you are your own boss) understanding why it is you do what you do is vital in ensuring what you do is the best it can be.

What is your why?

Are you properly utilizing visual hierarchy in your designs? ⚖️

It’s your job as the designer to properly create the intended viewing experience. Having visual hierarchy guides the viewer through the design in order to help them process the presented information in the intended way.

Simply attracting a viewer to the “whole” of your design isn’t enough. The elements of your design should be properly sized, organized, and spaced to grab a viewers attention and guide them through the necessary information from most important to least.

Having now sense of visual hierarchy in your design can leave viewers confused and overwhelmed as they have no sense of where to start and where to go. They bounce around from part to part without ever getting the overall message of the “whole.” This can often make them dismiss and move on from whatever it was you were trying to convey.

Bigger isn’t always better. Order and balance are key to communicate clearly.

What makes people like Steve Jobs or Martin Luther King Jr. such inspiring people to follow? 🤔

We’ve all been in this situation: you’ve been working at a job for a while now and you find your drive to perform well dwindling more and more every day. What originally started as excitement for what you were doing has now dissolved into boredom. You’re no longer excited to come into work every day as your job now feels exactly like that; a job. A chore. A bore.

Many team leaders fail to inspire valuable action within their followers. That’s because many people fail to understand their why. Everyone knows what they do 100% and most may know how they do it. But do you know why you’re doing it?

I challenge you to ask yourself or ask those who are meant to be leading you, “Why do we do what we do?” Shift your focus away from what you do. You already know that. You do it every day. Find your why and lead those in your life to do the same.

Be sure to check out Simon Sinek’s TED Talk on “Start with why -- how great leaders inspire action” where the inspiration for this post came from.
