Ep #97: The Story of a Man Traveling the USA Pretending to be Australian w/Tannon Sweet

Builders of Authority

We are live here at Half Coast Studios in St. Louis for another in person episode. Today’s guest is someone I’ve known now for over a year. We originally got connected somehow on Facebook, met finally at a networking event, and then I had the chance to sit down for coffee with him and his wife.
I’ve been able to work hand in hand with him and his team for his services, and he’s also had us do their website as well.
He’s been able to accomplish so much in this last year, and it’s truly incredible to watch him continue to grow in all areas of his life.
My guest today is Tannon Sweet. He’s the Co-Owner & COO of Samson Studios.
Tannon’s Bio:
I spent most of my early on life on the streets traveling the USA, jumping from house to house, pretending to be Australian.
In 2019 I was working at Walmart overnight when Covid hit and knew something had to change when my entrepreneur life started to kick in. I was no good at working for someone.
In 2020 while working as an insurance agent, my fiancé bought me a $300 dslr camera off of messenger and I started a photography business.
Having no experience owning a business or knowing what that meant, all I knew was I couldn’t give up.
I decided I wanted to learn film and reached out to my dream school to find out it was 6 figures to attend there.
I didn’t let that stop me and figured a way into the school and it didn’t cost me a penny.
I used my experience at that school to learn more about the film world and brewed a passion to create a heavy hitting industry out in the Midwest.
Now, on our 3rd year into the business, we’ve figured out how to make 6 figures a year doing what we love, with no intention on stopping.
Our goal in 2023 is to make 7 figures and our long term goal is to become a 10 figure business by 2050. We intend to ignite the wave of a new generation of directors and filmmakers. Because you don’t have to be famous or “someone “ to be involved. And that’s why we are looking for business owners, investors/entrepreneurs who want to venture into the world of film.
You don’t have to be experienced to become a producer for movies.
You just have to be passionate about it.
The only way we can reshape our industry is by telling our stories because
Every Story Matters.
