Michael Pirone
Ever since they could remember, Michael Pirone and his brother have always had a love for watching videos. From impersonating movie characters to creating their very own web series, the Pirone siblings knew that producing videos was their life’s mission.
Combining this passion for video and storytelling, Michael and his brother banded together to create Vidico, a video production agency for large brands and innovative tech startups. Since its inception, Vidico has produced video content for tech companies like Square, Amazon Web Services, and Uber, to name a few.
Producing videos for the biggest names in tech wasn’t always smooth sailing, though. Instead, it took a few rock bottoms and a ton of cold, hard persistence before Vidico became the award-winning company it is today.
In this episode, Michael Pirone opens up about the struggles to get Vidico off the ground. Along the way, he shares his insight on how we can persist in the right directions and the qualities we should be looking for in a co-founder.
