From Passion to Profit: The Studio Sherpas Journey

 

Hey there, fellow filmmaker! đź‘‹

Ever felt like you're climbing a mountain in your video business? Trying to book better clients, charge what you're worth, and build a sustainable business - all while maintaining your creative spirit? I get it. I'm Ryan Koral, and for over two decades, I've been where you are.

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.

Our Mission

Through our 10xFILMMAKER program and weekly podcast, we help ambitious video entrepreneurs:

  • Book premium clients (without cold calling)
  • Price projects confidently (no more undercharging)
  • Build reliable systems (bye-bye chaos)
  • Create a business that serves your life (not the other way around)

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.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Real-world experience: We're in the trenches with you
  • Community-driven: Thousands of filmmakers learning and growing together
  • Actionable strategies: No fluff, just proven techniques that work
  • Holistic approach: From creative excellence to business acumen

The Studio Sherpas Experience

Through our programs and community, you'll learn:

  • How to attract and land premium clients
  • Systems for pricing and packaging your services
  • Frameworks for scaling without sacrificing creativity
  • Strategies for building a sustainable business

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
