WARNING: Get ready for an episode that hits deep. I'm sharing the raw, emotional power of narrating your own audiobook, and why it’s often more transformative than publishing the book itself. If you’ve ever considered recording your story in your own words, this is your sign.

In this episode of Rhythm of the Road, we're going behind the scenes of a recent, deeply moving audiobook recording session at Box 7 Media. With tearful moments, emotional breakthroughs, and authentic storytelling at its core, I'm telling you how stepping into the booth to narrate your own words can break open hidden parts of your journey, parts you didn’t even know you needed to face.

Whether you’re an author, aspiring storyteller, or creative soul looking for meaning through your work, this episode delivers a powerful reminder: your voice matters, and sharing it might just be the most healing thing you’ll ever do.

“Can you just hit the pretty button?” If you’re a creator, you’ve heard it. And cringed.

In this episode of The Rhythm of The Road Podcast, Jeremy and Nell go deep into the myth of the so-called “pretty button” AKA the idea that there’s a magical fix in post-production for everything that wasn’t planned, shot, or recorded correctly in the first place.

They unpack the real labor behind what clients often dismiss as a simple tweak. They share stories from both audio and video worlds, revealing how much strategy, technical know-how, and emotional intelligence go into pressing what outsiders think is just one magical button.

But this episode isn’t just about the frustrations; it’s about the solutions. Jeremy and Nell explore how thoughtful pre-production, clear communication, and authentic collaboration create the kind of results that do feel like magic. Whether you're a filmmaker, podcaster, visual artist, or any kind of creative professional, this episode will leave you nodding in recognition—and maybe laughing through the pain.

Enjoy this episode and the rest of the Mixed Media Series on the "5's" here on The Rhythm of the Road Podcast!
