Episode 35: Confidence, Clients & the Churn-and-Burn Model with Chris Pisar

In this special unaired interview recorded two years ago, CJ and Aaron sit down with longtime friend and developer Chris Pisar, owner of CP Media in Bakersfield, CA. Chris shares his journey from sports broadcasting to web development, what it’s really like to grow a solo business, and the mindset shifts that helped him push through the early struggle. They cover the highs and lows of entrepreneurship—from automation and bad clients to family life and burnout prevention. Whether you’re in the creative space or just navigating your first few years in business, this episode is packed with honesty, insight, and the kind of stories that remind you you're not alone.
