Stephen Phillipi

Stephen Phillipi is a commercial editor and podcast host based in Louisville, KY. Through his brand, Guesthouse Cinema, he creates content to educate and inspire film crews, producers, and directors by sharing real-world insights into filmmaking and production.

The Challenge

Stephen was producing high-value podcast content but struggled with consistency in repurposing it into short-form video. Editing everything himself created a bottleneck, leaving him without the time or structure to build a reliable presence on LinkedIn. This limited his ability to position himself as an authority within the film community.

The Solution

We partnered with Stephen through the Authority Reels System™ — a done-for-you short-form video engine designed for LinkedIn. Using our Creative Portal, we streamlined the upload process, provided branded editing with his unique style, and built reels that aligned with his audience’s interests. By combining his long-form podcast content with platform-optimized reels, Stephen was able to show up consistently without extra editing on his end.

The Results & Transformation

Tangible Outcomes:

Branded LinkedIn reels delivered from his podcast series
A system in place to repurpose long-form into short-form with ease
Increased audience engagement and visibility on LinkedIn
