One of my favorite ways to dial in my setup for videos just like this is to copy other creators whose content really inspires me. This setup right here is actually modeled after a guy named Dan Bolton. If you don't know who he is, he's a big name in the online coaching space. He's one of those coaches that coaches other coaches on how to coach. Yeah. But if you look at some of his videos, he uses a very similar setup. I saw them scrolling through my Instagram feed, really liked what I saw, and so I kind of tried to mimic that. With this setup right here.

I think it looks really cool here. Try it for yourself. Copy some other creator whose content you really enjoy, and it might just teach you how to create better setups on your own, too.
