Pillar 03

Business Growth

Turned a favor-based side hustle into a real commercial operation.

LA Media

A photo/video business that started as a two-person team and moved from wedding and personal work into B2B commercial, with the goal of going full-time. The interesting part isn’t just the shoots — it’s the operating system built underneath the business, which is itself an application of the Build Loop.
