Highlights from the Matthew Barnett interview
- [6:00]: Matthew Barnett explains that he and his partners just sort of “stumbled into” video as a niche. They didn’t quite make it work the first time, but in the process, they learned more about the industry. After a couple of tries, they were successful, thanks in part to what they learned along the way with their previous video projects.
- [10:55]: A creative at heart, Matthew lists “operations” as his weak point when it comes to running his business. He feels like he has a natural tendency to be spontaneous, but struggles with structure as a result. He compensates by having a great team around him that specialize in those aspects of business.
- [19:50] Matthew describes how anyone at his company is welcome to come up with ideas and pitch them. They record the ideas in a Design Notes document. To submit an idea, employees submit a standard form that covers the problem, recommended solution, existing solutions already out there, and other specifics.
