Hey there, fellow filmmaker! đź‘‹

Why Studio Sherpas
Why Studio Sherpas?
Just like the legendary Sherpas of the Himalayas, we're here to guide you on your journey to building a thriving video business. We don't do the climbing for you – that's where your passion comes in. Instead, we show you the proven paths, where to step, and what pitfalls to avoid.

- Book premium clients (without cold calling)
- Price projects confidently (no more undercharging)

Meet Your Head Sherpa — Ryan Koral
That's me – filmmaker, business coach, and yes, purveyor of dad jokes. My 20+ year journey has taken me from struggling freelancer to running a profitable, sustainable video business. Along the way, I've developed frameworks and systems that have helped hundreds of other filmmakers do the same.

When I'm Not Behind the Camera
- Hanging with my three awesome kids (who think I'm only slightly embarrassing)
- Convincing my wife to rate my latest jokes (she's a tough critic)
- Pleading with Koda (our dog) to stop eating socks (it's an ongoing battle)
- Fueling up on coffee and planning the next Studio Sherpas workshop
