I graduated from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) with a degree in Audio Recording. I didn’t want to take the traditional path of working internships in Nashville studios for years, making little money and fighting for every win. I took a different path. In 2014 I started to edit podcasts with a friend in Louisville, KY, and over the next few years, I slowly began to realize that we were on the verge of something really big.I knew there was a problem: People were uploading podcasts with great content and terrible audio quality. So we got to work editing, mixing, and mastering podcasts. In 2017 I went full time. Five years later, Resonate Recordings is a thriving bootstrapped business that has helped over 3,000 podcasters and worked with over 13 podcasts that hit #1 in Apple Podcasts.Through all these years of editing podcasts, I’ve seen how taxing the process is for creators. It takes our professional Audio Engineers at Resonate three hours to edit a one-hour podcast. It can take inexperienced creators even more time than that. That’s why I’m starting my second company: Resound.Resound is a new podcast creator tool powered by AI. We want to automate the production process so that creators can focus on their message, not their mess-ups.
