In this episode of Founders Future, with host Milan Kohut, we dive into the world of Chris Schwager, founder of Complete Video Success System | Ridge Films. Chris shares his incredible journey from shooting his first wedding at age 13 to building a leading video production company in Australia. He details the pivotal shift his business underwent, moving from traditional on-location video services to a specialized global niche: the "desktop video studio." This system, combined with dedicated coaching, empowers founders and professionals to show up confidently and consistently on camera, overcoming the universal struggles of tech, messaging, and performance anxiety to build trust and visibility.

Chris opens up about the profound personal and business transformation that followed a near-death experience in 2023, leading to a period of "post-traumatic growth" where he refined his business model with intense focus. He provides a masterclass in niching down, discussing the current marketing strategies that drive his success, including the power of video ads and organic relationship building. The conversation also explores the future threats and opportunities in video, particularly the rise of AI, and why human confidence and connection will always be the ultimate edge for entrepreneurs.
