Today we’d like to introduce you to Brit Adgie.
Hi Brit, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Birth through the pandemic.
Most people experienced drastic changes in 2020, and for me, it was career-related. At the time, I was working at a staging company, but overnight, all my work disappeared. I decided to take a leap and invest in a 3D camera, anticipating that many companies would struggle during the pandemic. The gamble paid off, and Adgie Images was born. Today, we serve clients nationwide with 3D and drone photography, as-built drawings, and videography.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
We started with a bang, securing our first regional brand within the first few months. Initially, we experienced rapid growth as we figured out which clients we wanted to work with and what services we truly wanted to offer. When you first start a business, you’re just excited that people want to hire you, so you take on all jobs, regardless of pay or quality. Eventually, you reach a point where you can be selective. I’ll never forget the first time I said “no” to a job— it marked the moment I felt our business was truly established.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
Adgie Images specializes in 3D and drone photography, as-built drawings, and commercials/testimonials. Currently, I am working on a mini-documentary for a client focused on preserving the lives of seniors. In the past few months, I have interviewed a woman who was a WWII bomber pilot, a 60’s Coca-Cola model, and many others. Showcasing their stories has been extremely rewarding and has inspired me to focus more on long-form video projects. This year not only will the documentary be completed, but part of the series was also aired for Congress earlier this spring.
What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
The ability to solve problems independently is crucial. While being a self-starter is important, I believe that having FFO (figuring it the f*ck out) is the biggest key to success. Everyone begins their career by learning, and it’s often easier to learn when you figure things out on your own. FFO is a mantra I live by.
