The Eddie Wilson Channel

In this episode, I sit down with Popi from the Popi & Chulo Show to recap our experience at the 2025 Catholic Creator Conference. We met just hours before recording this and immediately connected. Same mission, same hunger to grow, and the same desire to serve God and our community through media.

We talk about what made the conference so special, from the humility of everyone attending to the energy of speakers like Keith Nestor. We get into podcasting, the value of in-person connections, and why unity in the Catholic creator world matters more than ever. We also dig into our own journeys, mine as a firefighter and revert to the faith, his as a young Catholic trying to reach and serve other men who feel lost or disconnected. If you're someone trying to do something meaningful in your faith or media life, this one’s for you.

Big thanks to Kyle, Drew, and everyone who made the conference happen. This is just the beginning.
