We recently connected with Niko Galvez and have shared our conversation below.
Niko, appreciate you joining us today. Your ability to build a team is often a key determinant of your success as a business owner and so we’d love to get a conversation going with successful entrepreneurs like yourself around what your recruiting process was like -especially early on. How did you build your team?
Niko & Stephanie Galvez from Day 1 – to now! NEG MEDIA PRO officially launced 2020! Our first exclusive interview was with the amazing Anna Lee – one of the pioneers in VR and fantastic Director in the adult entertainment industry. We got a airbnb in Los Angeles with a creative vibe inside for content creation. We did a 3 camera set up with a shotgun microphone pointed at a dinner table for our 1st official podcast recording. We even had a special guest our good friend Lawerence Breaux. You can find the episode on Youtube, just search for THE LOCAL TALENT PODCAST WITH ANNA LEE. Since then we have evolved into a full media & production company. We have had teams upwards of 100+ that we have managed and been apart of. From filiming Super Bowl commercials, celebrities and influencers or even businesses that want creative direction, we turn the vision into reality. As always #WhatsNext
Niko, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
NEG MEDIA PRO, we don’t just make videos — we transform our clients’ visions into powerful, engaging stories that capture attention and drive results. Whether it’s the adrenaline rush of an ATV desert adventure, the vibrant atmosphere of a local smokeshop and businesses, or the personality and passion behind a brand, we partner closely with businesses to bring their unique stories to life on screen.
Every project starts with your vision — and we bring the creativity, technical expertise, and storytelling craft to turn it into content that connects, inspires, and leaves a lasting impression.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
That’s a tough one becuase word of mouth and refferals have landed me and the company (NEG MEDIA PRO) awesome clients and budgets. At the sametime, Staff Me Up and social media is really where my resume shines! Some people use Instagram for family and friends, but I use it for everything. I am able to search, communicate faster and even close deals on social media, especially Instagram. Staff Me Up is the first platform that has really contributed to my producton resume. I work with so many small to big clients that, I am able to use Staff Me Up to have my resume updated with also finding consistent work.
How do you keep your team’s morale high?
Always keep it positive and treat people like humans. Today technology is evolving and AI is advancing faster than most people can keep up with. I encourage everyone to always remember being a human and treating everyone with respect. Sometimes you have to remember where you came from or even put yourself in “their” situation to really understand what it likes to be a leader. Also if your the leader of a team, rememeber that everyone looks up to you for the final decision, if you lost that respect that you should not be a leader.
