I spent years fixing dents and beating up my body for mid-level pay, but by September 2024 I knew the shop life wasn’t it. I wanted bigger stories, bigger impact—and fewer busted knuckles. So I swapped wrenches for a Sony FX30 and walked straight into the wild world of content creation.
Mission in a Nutshell: Aetho Media exists solely off of my drive to bring businesses out into the social world without stumbling and falling over themselves alone.
The “Holy-Crap-This-Is-Working” Moment
Nothing hits harder than walking through town and random strangers saying, “Hey, you’re that Aetho guy!” That public recognition—and building my own website from scratch—proved the brand had legs. It wasn’t just video views; it was real-world reach.
Face-Palm, Lesson Learned
Biggest smack-in-the-face this year? Playing it too safe. Silence and hesitation don’t scale dreams. Now “spontaneous” is a calendar event.
How the Sausage Gets Made (My Workflow)
Idea Impact: Concept hits me like a brick wall.
Visualization: Sit with it, picture every frame.
Paper Pass: Scribble the outline by hand.
Soundtrack Sync: Hunt down the song that nails the vibe.
Go Time: Shoot, edit, publish, repeat.
Killer hack? Leveraging AI tools like ChatGPT to speed-check scripts, hashtags, and even pickup lines (don’t judge).
Wins That Make Me Grin
Boosted Brickhouse Gym’s Instagram from 10 k → 16 k followers in six months—a 60 % jump without paid ads.
Tightened Brickhouse’s vibe so members feel like the gym is the missing piece in their fitness journey.
Turned casual street chats into client leads because people already “know” me online.
Five-Year Vision
I want to force businesses to open their minds—to expansion, automation, and scaling beyond the local bubble. If I’m doing my job right, Regina brands will think global by 2030.
Gear & Sanity Check
Time-Saver: AI integrations that work with me, not for me.
Stay-Sane Ritual: Grabbing pockets of hang-time with friends between shoots—because creative grind means zilch if you lose your people.
Closing Loop
So, that’s the scoop: quit autobody, built Aetho Media, grew a gym brand by 60 %, and learned to chase spontaneity like it’s cardio. Same coffee habit—way bigger dreams. If you swing through Regina, hit me up; the next big idea usually starts with a flat white.
