We were lucky to catch up with JP Hightek recently and have shared our conversation below.
JP , appreciate you joining us today. Let’s kick things off with your mission – what is it and what’s the story behind why it’s your mission?
Hello I am JP and well known as JP Hightek in the Branding & Media Industry.
I am a Global Branding Expert | Media & Live Streaming Professional | Speaker | Cinematographer | Graphic Designer | Software Developer.
JP , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Speaker, Branding Expert, Graphic Designer, Cinematographer, Software Developer.
With over 12 years’ experience in the Tech, Media, and IT Customer Service industry, I have helped and interacted with multiple Ministries, Churches, Small business startup owners to High level Corporate Executives.
All this started from a dream. A dream to conquer the world and to make an impact. As I was seated one day on campus at the University of Texas in Arlington, I made a prayer and asked the Lord to help me walk in my purpose and make an impact to a generation.
Even though I feel my journey is still ongoing, I believe it is important to look back and be grateful at all my humble achievements. I remember when I received my very first paycheck of $75 as a videographer. I was so excited to be rewarded not for a job, but for something I could do for free and still feel the same satisfaction.
As of today, I am not the CEO & Founder of Perfect Zone Productions, a media firm that specializes in Branding, Graphic Design, Web Design, High end Photography, Videography, Software development and more.
I am also the Host and Producer of the show “Content Creators University,” in partnership with RTN Streams, an advanced video hosting and live streaming solution, in which I am the head developer and co-founder.
Finally, I am the President & Broadcast Director of Reveal TV Network, a faith-based ministry focused on “Revealing Jesus to the Nations through Media.”
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
I have learned to be content and cherish what I have. I had to discover my purpose in life and walk in it. I have learned that as long as I am walking in my purpose, I will always be blessed in a way or another regardless of the project. I then started looking at the little victories in every project I worked on. The truth is, it was hard sometimes to keep going, hard to stay motivated and extremely hard to believe in a better day.
In 2006 I decided to create an opportunity to myself on Youtube. After several years I was able to get it to 10K subscribers which I lost early in 2016 due to community updates. I did not let this set back stop me and started another technology related Youtube which has grown to 126K subscribers before it was again deleted by Youtube for another policy change in 2019.
I could have gotten completely discouraged and not look at the good and lesson learned from this experience. I was able to establish a solid following and above all a solid clientele from my Youtube and social media traffic during that season. I was engrossing 6 figures for my yearly revenue and could not be proud of such a great accomplishment.
Another major milestone was when I was able to hire my very first full time employee and paying her $15 per hour. It is a completely different feeling to know that someone else’s blessing depends on you succeeding. I had to learn how to not only fight for myself but also for people surrounding and depending on my success.
My journey continues and I cannot wait to see where God takes me and what other lessons I will learn.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
