Life & Work with Daniel Ledbetter

Today we’d like to introduce you to Daniel Ledbetter.

Hi Daniel, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstories.
Dan’s Media started as just an idea. It was birthed out of the necessity to increase my annual income and passion for technology, specifically audio and video (AV) tech. I kept asking myself, “what could I wake up and do daily while enjoying it?” With a heart for music, art, AV, and creativity, I realized doing those things never felt like just “work.” Fine-tuning the specific services my company would offer and identifying patterns in the St. Louis market did take time, trial and error. I started by renting out and setting up audio, video, lighting, and pipe and drape. I started doing small projects and events around the city and county, creating a buzz and establishing our brand. When the pandemic hit, our clients were desperate for our services, and the demand was substantial! Our clients began streaming in from weddings, funerals, churches, and conferences. Eventually, photography and videography made their way into the mix. In totality, I attribute the success and growth of Dan’s Media to God, his favor, wisdom, and grace.

Can you talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has been a challenging road learning the ins and outs of the business, but with the help of God and great mentors, we are still standing strong today.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Dan’s Media is a St. Louis, MO.-based multimedia company. We specialize in photography, videography & live-streaming. In recent years, Dan’s Media has offered installations, training, equipment rentals, and audio/video engineering. Our experts are proud to provide clients with the highest quality technology and most professional services in the market today! We quickly realized the wedding industry was our favorite niche.

What does success mean to you?
Success is defined by accomplishing goals, fulfilling desires, and pleasing God. I also have all the necessities of life.
