#23 - Behind The Scenes: Pimpin Aint Easy w/ CTP
I got to chat with CTP, who is the former producer and co-host of the Barbell Shrugged Podcast. This was a really fun conversation for me because we talk about the craft of podcasting, storytelling, and videography. CTP has played a part in helping some really well known podcasts get off the ground like Mike Cazayoux’s and Julie Foucher’s. He's up to some very cool projects with Travis Mash, Christmas Abbott, Tait Fletcher, and more.
Some things we chat about in this episode:
- How CTP went from being a pizza delivery guy for 5 years to producing a podcast
- Why storytelling through videos and audio helps you learn
- Loving the craft and embracing the suck

Listen to it on audible. Then go ahead and listen to the author talk about it an on a podcast episode. That discussion aspect is a game changer. We touch on that a little bit in this episode.
