Ryan sits down with Sefa Bailey, Psy.M., BCBA, Founder, CEO and Clinical Director of Pee-Wee's Behavioral Services, to hear the story behind her ABA therapy company and the unexpected circumstances that pushed her into entrepreneurship. Sefa shares how faith, leadership, company culture, financial discipline, and a clear sense of purpose helped Pee-Wee's grow from a small startup into a team of more than 30 employees serving families across South Carolina.

In this episode of the My Father Said Podcast, Ryan turns the microphone on the man usually behind the camera: Scott Fowler, owner of Palmetto Moose Productions.

Scott shares how an early interest in cameras, computers, and storytelling eventually turned into a career in video production—and ultimately his own business. From learning video production at Gateway Baptist Church and studying Visual Communications at the University of South Carolina, to working alongside crews from CNN, FOX, The Today Show, The Weather Channel, National Geographic and others, Scott walks through the experiences that helped shape his career.

He also talks candidly about leaving a steady job, taking a major income cut, working through the uncertainty of COVID, building Palmetto Moose Productions, and learning that running a creative business requires a lot more than simply being good with a camera.

Ryan and Scott discuss entrepreneurship, networking, sales, recurring content, working with businesses of all sizes, overcoming imposter syndrome, and why consistent content is so important for companies trying to build their brand.

Scott also shares the best advice he received from his father: "Mise en place" — everything has its place. It's a simple principle about preparation and organization that has become an important part of how he approaches business and life.

If you own a business, are considering entrepreneurship, or have ever wondered what it takes to turn a creative skill into a full-time career, this episode is for you.
