We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Rob Chiola. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Rob below.
Rob, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
Here at Chiola Films we’re always striving to deliver high quality films at reasonable rates. We believe special moments should be captured on film where they can be cherished forever.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I always knew I wanted to pursue a creative career. A career that I would enjoy and wouldn’t feel like “work”. I found this in Wedding Videography. I love being behind the camera. I love being responsible for capturing all the sights and sounds of one of the most important days in a couples life. I love the joy it brings the couple for years to come.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
Around the time my son was being born I had a good job, was making decent money and had job security. But, I knew that working 40+ hours a week was not something I wanted to do anymore. I wanted to be apart of my child’s as much as I could. It was around this time I started to pursue a career in the creative field. My goal was to run a business where I worked less, made more and had more time for family.
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
The best source of new clients is word of mouth. Word of mouth from happy clients but more importantly word of mouth from other professionals.
Networking with other professionals in your field/area is going to be a tremendous help.
I believe in community over competition. We can all help lift each other up.
