Ever watch a show where the video and audio don’t match up? It throws everything off—until you reboot the system and suddenly… it clicks. That kind of misalignment doesn’t just happen on screen. It happens in our creative lives, too.


In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to be out of sync—and more importantly, how to get back in sync with your collaborators, your calendar, your creativity, and your calling. Paul shares personal stories from his early days syncing 16mm film by hand to leading high-stakes live broadcasts where even a one-second delay could derail everything.


These moments aren’t just technical—they’re deeply creative and profoundly human. You'll hear why being "off" doesn’t mean you're failing—it might just mean your timing, your crew, or your cut needs to shift. You'll learn how to: Recalibrate your timing and recognize when a great idea just needs more time to breathe. Lean on collaborators and trusted voices when you’re too close to the work to see what’s off. Rework your structure until the story feels right—not just looks or sounds right.


Whether you’re in post-production, pitching new ideas, or just trying to find your rhythm again, this episode offers a reset button for your process. Because staying in sync is the secret to producing your best work—without burning out. If your momentum feels off… your projects feel forced… or your creativity just isn’t clicking, this episode is the reminder you didn’t know you needed: You can get back in sync. And when you do—you’ll feel it.
