After three days at Creator Camp, one message came through louder than anything else: Keep showing up. And don’t do it alone.
Hi Reader,
It's the first week of August and that means three live opportunities to level up your Ecamm skills: Office Hours on Monday and Thursday, and Tech Talks this Friday. More on those below.
It also means it's a good week to ask where you're at with all of this, so that's this week's Community Kickstart.
COMMUNITY KICKSTART
Who should you collaborate with?
Creator Camp reminded us that some of the best ideas happen when creators get in the same room—or the same livestream. So let's make some connections.
Who's someone in the Ecamm community you'd love to collaborate with?
We've recommended Ecamm Academy Live for years because Adrian Salisbury's cohorts work: you move through Ecamm alongside other creators, with live coaching and real feedback, instead of piecing it together on your own. Over 2,500 members have been through it since 2019.
This August's cohort (August 10–21) is the last one. If you've been meaning to get more out of Ecamm, or telling yourself "someday," this is it.
In this episode, ANA GIL sits down with XayLi Barclay — camera confidence coach, video strategist, and founder of Start Shoot Grow — for a behind-the-scenes look at her setup and the role Ecamm has played in building her six-figure brand.
That's exactly what Creator Camp is for. Three days in Portsmouth, NH, workshops built around real problems, and feedback from people who are actually doing this work, not just talking about it.
📅 September 28–30, 2026 📍 AC Portsmouth Hotel, Portsmouth, NH 🎟️ $699, including breakfast and lunch all three days
Seats are moving. If Portsmouth is even a maybe for you right now, this is a good week to make it a yes.
