Some people need our help when it comes to creating videos. Others are more of the the roll up the sleeves and MacGyver your way through it type. If you fall into the DIY camp, we have a treat for you! Our friends at 401(k) Marketing invited us to share what we know about creating and sharing video in a webinar.
