Storytelling is an art within itself. To be able to capture the true nature of a creative while having your own expressive spin on things takes a directional as well as an intentional focus. It all sums down to how you do highlight the creator while still being creative. CEO of TalentedOnes Media, Justin Sheppard, has the blueprint on creative media and has been diligently working on his company since early 2016.
The Houston native describes his company as an outlet to unfolding the stories of talented people. He summarizes his creative drive in proudly showcasing "interviewees off in the most creative light from the Interview show perspective [and] from a photography/videographer point of view is to just progress in my content and to always get a message across whether it's subliminal or directly stated."
When divulging what underlying aspects about what sets TalentedOnes Media apart from others, it starts with the background. Sheppard was born in Houston, Texas and grew up in Humble, Texas. Houston on its own is a diversified mecca of creative inspiration.
Mix that background with Sheppard growing up with musical influences such as his grandmother who was a music instructor and his own musical capabilities in playing the drums, you have a well-versed CEO in the creative world. Sheppard highlights that he wrote music, raps, poetry and that "the process of making music or just listening to music is therapeutic." Music is one of the most sought after, talked about and universal elements of media.
Music reflects a lot of creativity and encompasses a lot of varying aspects to reflect other creative notions such as art, fashion, etc. In short, music is a holy grail creative playing field that Sheppard has navigated and encompassed well in his interviews.
TalentedOnes Media's youtube channel features various musical creatives, but music isn't the only media element TalentedOnes Media hones in on. From content on fashion to modeling, there are other ventures the company plans to head its direction towards and has already started pursuing.
One of the highest viewed videos on the TalentedOnes Media's YouTube channel is with For The Leaux, a popular up and coming clothing brand, CEO Victor Madu. Sheppard's capability to diversify his content shows that he's a forced to be reckoned with in the media world. Sheppard reveals plans to venture even further into a short film, documentaries and concept photography.

Sheppard's creative drive is effortlessly shown throughout his content. His latest interview with Ejay Mallard showcases his professional quality filming and poise as an interviewer. A popular question asked in his interviews regards a preference on the journey or the destination. When asked the question himself, Sheppard revealed that "you learn everything about your destination on your journey. You learn how to win, you learn how to lose but most importantly you grow as a person. I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't learned from my journey, and I still have more learning to do."
