We built it. We patented it.
Headshots. Without the hassle.

After years of grinding, Studio Pod is officially protected by the USPTO.
Self-guided. Pro lighting. No photographer required.
A new category — now patented.

Let’s go. 🚀

#ai is WILD.

Building out new applications is all about iteration I’ve found.

Recently, we made a break through on our Ai image generation model, and was able to fool my wife with one of these photos. 😂. #aiheadshots #aiportraits

the only parenting advice from strangers that has proven to be 10000% true is - "enjoy it because it will go so much faster than you think"

My oldest starts 8th grade in a couple of weeks. She's in the midst of applying for high schools. I literally don't know how we got here

Something I've learned as of late? I thought I was terrible at Sales, until I found my own niche. Visuals.

Visuals are the key to unlocking growth in email marketing. A well-designed email doesn’t just look good—it drives results.

Make your emails a visual journey.

[Joseph West @joewestishere]

Your email list is gold I've learned.

Enhance its value with visuals that captivate.

When your emails stand out in the inbox, your brand stays top-of-mind.

[Joseph West @joewestishere]

@TheUnseenLogic Exactly!

[Joseph West @joewestishere]

Marketing isn't just about attention—it's about creating connections that last.

Let’s focus on stories that resonate deeply and drive meaningful growth.

[Joseph West @joewestishere]

@natevietz LOVE THIS.

[Joseph West @joewestishere]

@ChrisWillx Absolutely gorgeous work my man.

Day 1 of #buildinginpublic for https://t.co/lRjOT8h0rZ https://t.co/YLlQ7g41pd

[Joseph West @joewestishere]

🚀 Launching into #buildinginpublic with StudioPro! 🚀
(we've launched everything in stealth, but shaking it up this time) →

Ever wonder what goes into creating an automated photography studio designed for everyone? 

I will get right into it, and document the entire process here, and on TikTok. 

What is StudioPro? 

1. @The_Studio_Pod on steroids (not just for headshots)
2. Automated Photography Studio designed to be accessible to everyone
3. Allows users to easily manage lighting, backdrops, filters, and camera angles.
4. Photos, video, and even audio in the plans.
5. Hourly rental basis, and you keep every photo you take, delivered immediately.
6. Patent Approved 😉

Ultimate Goal: Make it possible for anyone to produce studio-quality photos on their terms.

What I'll be posting

1. Technology stages
2. How I'll be branding & marketing a b2c vs b2b
3. Finding the right customer

How can you help?

While building, I need folks who want to beta-test
↳ Need a quick photo shoot, and don't mind me experimenting with technology?
↳ Any features you'd love to see in StudioPro? Like this post if you want a video. 😀
↳ DM me and we can chat!

Follow along, and be kind, as I've never done this #buildinginpublic before ;).

absolutely mind blowing production, and risk going on here. The R/R is insane if he pulls it off, and he did. You'll see more and more creatives like him valuing the production value for interviews & podcast as long form interviews become the most important thing in our media.

[Chris Williamson @ChrisWillx]

We did a world-first podcast shoot 🚀

Two weeks ago we recorded the most expensive, most experimental, most technically complex production we’ve ever attempted with 4 huge guests. I can’t describe how difficult this was to pull off. It took 2 months of planning and a huge team to even get off the ground.

It could have all gone absolutely terribly and waste the same amount of money I paid as the deposit on my house. It could also be really cool and exciting and break new ground for podcasting.

I haven’t seen any of the edits yet, so I actually don’t know which one it’s going to be.

But we did film a full BTS vlog to go alongside the episodes, so if nothing else it'll be a good story to tell.

First clip goes live tomorrow. #bde

@RRunner144 stop leaving bro

@nateobrienn We are - emailing you now.

"I have a founders group called Hampton that I'm part of...a group of like six or seven founders.

Like therapy where like we cry sometimes and guys and girls and we just like talk about everything in our families and our businesses.

So it also has led to a network and it's just like, been a really good tool for me professionally and emotionally."

Shannon Davenport (@ffthebrave) did a pod and mentioned why she loved @HamptonFounders.

So cool seeing this out in the wild.

Grit wins over intelligence.

[Joseph West @joewestishere]

Being a founder means in one day you successfully beta test a new product, get a check from your now biggest investor, and you launch a campaign you’ve been working on for months - to only feel like “what’s next?” #buildinpublic

@andruyeung Holy $hit
