In this episode, our host Marcelo sits down with Nate Stuck, one of Cleveland’s fastest-rising creators. Nate’s journey takes him from picking up a camera in high school to creating viral edits for Cleveland's largest brands such as Geraci’s, the Cleveland Guardians, Jolene’s Bar, and others. He even got the chance to shoot for Shaq, MGK, and Dustin Lynch. His work blends creativity, storytelling, and authenticity — turning everyday moments into cinematic visuals.
Nate’s path captures exactly what this show represents: real stories for the ones still chasing theirs. He opens up about building a brand from nothing, the inspiration behind projects like his Stranger Things x Geraci’s edit, and the mindset that drives him to elevate every shoot. We also reflect on our connection from freshman-year basketball and how those early experiences shaped his work ethic and creative vision.
Listeners will get an honest look at what it takes to grow as a young creator today — the discipline, the relationships, and the belief in your craft. Nate’s story is a reminder that success comes from consistency, passion, and the willingness to see art where others don’t.
