About this episode

Megan Torrance discusses how small teams can effectively produce video content with limited resources.

Most small teams want to do more video. The hard part is doing it every week, without the crew, the hours, or the budget to make it happen. In this revisited episode, Matt sits down with Megan Torrance, Founder and CEO of Torrance Learning, to explore what it takes to make video work as a small team, and why the system she built years ago still holds up today. Megan’s team rebuilt their studio so one person could walk in, flip a few switches, load up a teleprompter, and start recording. That setup is now the engine behind Megan’s marketing videos and her stand-in client course (and the occasional goofy internal update, of course). It’s also why her team can go from ‘a client needs this course updated’ to published in a week. In the conversation, Megan also gets into why a quick video beats a memo or email for tone and authenticity, the shot lists she uses to keep editing under control, and how Camtasia’s review workflow keeps feedback on the timeline instead of in email threads.
