The 60-second video
Prospect-facing spot that sells belonging at every stage, not thresholds. Draft written fresh; I couldn't find your earlier riff on this in Granola, Plaud, or email, so mark this up and I'll cut it to match.
| Time | Voiceover | Visual | On-screen text |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0:00 - 0:06 | "Every entrepreneur in Nashville is carrying something." | Quick cuts: a kitchen at 5am, a warehouse floor, a laptop in a truck cab. Real members if we have the footage. | carrying something. |
| 0:06 - 0:16 | "Some of us are fighting to make it real. Some of us are buried in the beautiful mess of a business that's working. Some of us are leading something bigger than ourselves." | Three faces, three settings, one per line. Match cut on each beat. | make it real / run it well / lead at scale |
| 0:16 - 0:28 | "EO Nashville built a room for each of those seasons. Catalyst, for founders pushing past a million. The Catalyst Collective, an ongoing membership, by invitation, for running a great business on purpose. And EO, one of the largest chapters in the world." | Event footage: Catalyst classroom, small forum circle, big EO Nashville event energy. Logos land as lower thirds. | CATALYST / CATALYST COLLECTIVE / EO NASHVILLE |
| 0:28 - 0:40 | "Same community. Same values. A forum of peers who get it, mentors who've been there, and learning and social events every month." | Forum circle mid-conversation, a real laugh, a speaker event wide shot. | trust and respect · thirst for learning · think big be bold · together we grow |
| 0:40 - 0:52 | "No waiting rooms. No 'come back when you're bigger.' Wherever you are, there's a seat with your name on it." | Slow push on an empty chair in a forum circle, then someone sits down in it. | there's a room for you. |
| 0:52 - 1:00 | "EO Nashville. Find your room." | EO Nashville logo on navy, URL below. Beat of silence before the button. | eonashville.com |
VO: one warm Nashville voice, not announcer-y; a member, not an actor, if someone's got the pipes. Music: builds from sparse to full at 0:16, drops out at 0:52. Footage: pull from Movable Feast, forum retreats, and Catalyst classes; the 20-years-of-Sameera video project already proves the archive exists. Cut a 30-second and a 15-second version from the same spine (0:16 to 0:52 carries both). End card matches the offering page so the click-through feels seamless.
1. Settled: the middle membership is the Catalyst Collective, always introduced with its tagline (an ongoing membership, by invitation) and framed as the evolution of Bridge, never as a rename. 2. Real member faces or stock for draft one? 3. Who narrates? 4. Want me to render an animated draft of this (logo, type, and stock motion) so the council sees moving pictures instead of a table?
