Today we’d like to introduce you to Noah Dorsey
Hi Noah, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I grew up on a farm, where I learned the values of hard work and determination. My parents ran the farm, and we often discussed business, giving me an early insight into problem-solving and business acumen. This blend of skills set me up well for the next stages of my life.
If you want to hear more about my journey, check out the detailed story Canvas Rebel did on me.
After graduating, I went to India to film a documentary with my pastor. Upon returning, I had the opportunity to meet local documentary filmmaker Sam McLoughlin, who gave me my first break. From there, I networked extensively, trying to get into as many rooms as possible. Since then, I’ve traveled the world for work, created projects with deep personal and community significance, and continuously pushed my boundaries to learn and grow rapidly. Now, I own and operate two companies: Advertised YLW, which specializes in creating high-impact visual content for businesses needs, and RUSH, a film production company specializing in films and documentaries.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
As a creative entrepreneur, I face unique challenges. Balancing analytical thinking with creativity is crucial, and switching between the two quickly can be demanding. Imposter syndrome is a common struggle, making you doubt your abilities and consider quitting. This feeling can persist regardless of how much you’ve achieved. It’s vital to surround yourself with a supportive community that helps you realize your potential during moments of doubt. While I’ve faced numerous business challenges, this universal struggle among entrepreneurs highlights the importance of having a strong, encouraging network.
As you know, we’re big fans of RUSH And Advertised YLW. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Since our last update, RUSH has pivoted to focus on producing short and feature films, as well as documentaries. Meanwhile, I co-founded Advertised YLW with two business partners. Advertised YLW is a film production company that collaborates with businesses to create video and photo assets, helping business to create meaningful impact through innovative and strategically planned content used across social media, TV, websites, print, and more.
Our storytelling and innovative media approach distinguish us. At Advertised YLW, our process involves deeply understanding your business to create effective strategies that are then implemented and promoted in various ways. We strive to ensure your business thrives, making us feel like partners in your success.
Where we are in life is often partly because of others. Who/what else deserves credit for how your story turned out?
I’ve had many people help me over the years. Sam McLoughlin, Kevin Nichel (high school teacher), Ryan Tebbutt, Kelly Veltri, Chelsea McEvoy, Harrison Mendel, and CJ Wilkins (business mentor) to name a few. They were all pivotal at different points in my career, each contributing to my growth and development. The community has been an incredible support, forming the foundation of my career. My parents and family have been there through it all, especially my parents, who encouraged and taught me everything they knew. I am grateful to everyone who gave me a chance and the opportunity to grow and learn.
