What Happens in Minimum Viable Video
In this course, you will create videos that delight viewers, hook prospects, and bring opportunities to your inbox and DMs.
“Make more videos” is the mantra of Minimum Viable Video because each video is an opportunity. An opportunity to improve (lighting, storytelling, delivery, etc.) and to get noticed (by potential clients, customers, and collaborators.

Learning by doing
No death by powerpoint here. All sessions focus on taking action on creating a body of work.
Personalized feedback
One-size-fits-all advice fails because of different filming environments and natural aptitudes. Expert feedback speeds up the learning curve.

About the instructor
Howdy! My name is Cam Houser. I’ve been an entrepreneur-educator for 15 years. I learned video when a chronic pain issue made typing difficult.
Fast-forward five years and I’ve built a career helping others use video to get wins. From giving someone their first like to creating a video that wins over a client, I love this work.
I’ve worked with entrepreneurs on-the-ground in 22 countries, taught thousands through my cohort-based course, and my students include NASA astronauts, Navy SEALs, and prime ministers.
Nothing frustrates me more than seeing people with actual skills getting outshined by natural-born salespeople.
I teach this course to equip those already doing great work…but they realize they need to do a better job of broadcasting their impact.
Here’s proof that I’m more than just marketing. I’m a four-time founder who can walk the walk:
- My education programs have served 20,000 people
- My learners have raised $187 million and sold their companies to Etsy and Google.
- I’ve designed educational programs for Apple, Silicon Valley Bank, GE Aviation, KPMG, Mercedes Benz.
Expert Experiential Learning
I’m obsessed with learning-by-doing, which is why the best learning institutions in the world have asked me to mentor, coach, and instruct.
My programs are taught at Harvard, Stanford, and M.I.T.
On the side, I’m a professor at The University of Texas, teaching Creative Entrepreneurship.
Case Study #1
“No one was calling, no one was emailing”
I knew I could do consulting work but the phone was not ringing. No one was emailing. How could I let people know about my expertise and that I was open for business?
This was right around the time the Covid started. I had a hunch that Zoom might play a bigger role than it had before.
I grabbed my Iphone 6 and posted a series of low-effort videos on Linkedin called “One Minute Zoom Tips”.
I knew almost nothing about engagement and the algorithm at that point.
After two weeks of posting these videos every couple of days, a 2nd degree connection DM’d me asking if I could help with a project.
One week later, that conversation led to a $15k consulting deal.
We’ve since formalized this approach into a framework we call the Microseries Method, and every MVV student creates a microseries during the course.
Case Study #2
He Created Videos and Sold his Company
After four cohorts and hundreds of students, we nailed the formula for helping entrepreneurs create wins with video. The Microseries Method became a pillar of the curriculum.
Kerry Robinson (pictured) is a two-time student of Minimum Viable Video and founder of a conversational AI company called Voxgen.
He calls the microseries process “the most productive two hours of his life.”
That’s cool.
But want to know what’s cooler than that?
He credits the microseries as the hook that piqued the interest of buyer, enabling him to sell his company for a tidy sum.
This approach can generate big wins.
Case Study #3
The $52,000 video
In early 2020, I was pulling myself together.
I had founded and led a company from an idea to operations in 50 countries. It was my baby. The person I trusted enough to hand my baby over to…had just “asked” me to leave. So I left.
I was starting over.
I sent a proposal to a company outlining a consulting engagement that would solve a curriculum problem they faced.
The proposal included a “cover letter” video unpacking a vision of what their future would look like if we collaborated.
The video conveyed imagination, passion, and nuance that a google doc could not. That 90 second video clinched the deal.
The takeaway? The videos that change your life aren’t the ones with the most views.
Virality is overrated. The value of likes and comments only goes so far. Be entrepreneur-first in your approach to video.
