I’m Sunjay — a videographer, photographer and podcast producer.

I’ve spent years making content for other people’s brands. This is the version that’s just mine.

The Honest Cut is a bi-weekly behind-the-scenes diary. Real jobs, real numbers, real mistakes. No brand deals, no algorithm chasing — just an honest account of what it takes to build a creative business from the ground up.

If you run a business and you’re thinking about starting a podcast or video series, you’ll find something useful here. Not a course. Not a tutorial. More like a live case study from someone who does this for a living.

Free episodes drop every other week. The more honest stuff — client stories, pricing, the things you wouldn’t put on YouTube — is for paid subscribers.

Come for the content. Stay if it resonates.
