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.
