For Episode 150, I’m flipping the mic toward the man behind this very show—Josh Culler of Culler Media. If you’ve noticed how the podcast audio, video, and consistency leveled up… that’s all Josh. But today’s episode goes deeper than tech and editing.
Josh shares his journey from forklift operator to founder of a media company serving real estate brands, coaches, and investors nationwide. We talk about the power of consistency on social, building credibility over time, what makes content actually convert—and how Josh has pushed through tough seasons in business without quitting.
If you’re building something and feel stuck in the “no traction” zone, or if you’ve been hiding from content because you’re scared of judgment… this one’s for you. Josh keeps it real about entrepreneurship, marketing, and staying the course when results don’t come fast.
