Episode Summary

Welcome to Season 2! In this honest and often humorous episode, Marc A. Pitman, CSP, and Emily Pitman, ACC, CPCC, reflect on their journey from the launch of their podcast to now. They talk about the initial tech struggles (hello, 18-minute setup delays), learning new tools like Hindenburg Pro, and the unexpected joy of growing together through the messiness of podcasting.

You’ll hear about their commitment to showing up imperfectly, lessons from editing and production, and the evolving way they think about their message, their marriage, and their work in leadership and coaching. Whether you're in the middle of your own creative project or navigating growth in your relationship, this episode will leave you inspired to lean into the messy middle.

• Letting go of perfection allows more authentic conversations to happen
• Collaboration can deepen connection—especially in marriage and in business
• Being flexible and committed to the process matters more than having it all figured out
