Pete has been a broadcaster for the last 30 years, falling in love with the edit bay in the back of a newsroom in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He studied journalism at the University of Colorado with a focus on long-form documentary production, turning that early experience into a career helping businesses shape the stories of their brands through image and sound. Pete earned an M.S. in Organizational Design and spent fifteen years teaching graduate marketing students the power of human-centered communications. From public relations teams on global multi-million dollar brand projects to marketing for independent business owners, Pete has helped shape communications that build brands. In 2006, he launched Fifth & Main, LLC., a media consultancy focused on brand-building through the nascent field of podcasting. In 2020, nearly 3,000 individual podcast episodes behind them, the company rebranded as TruStory FM with an ear toward the next decade of podcast education and entertainment.
Pete has hosted as well as been a panelist on a number of episodes.

You’ve been carrying these myths around like extra weight — and they’re heavier than anything in the gym. This week, Pete and Srdjan bust eleven of the most persistent lies (and sometimes truths!) in fitness, from “lifting will make me bulky” to “I can crunch my way to a flat belly,” and replace them with something far more useful: the truth.
We close True Lies with Big Eyes: Burton’s restraint disappoints, Waltz’s choices divide us, Adams shines, and domestic coercion gets bland treatment.
Tommy’s steering wheel once came off at a stoplight, Pete has opinions about your dryer that will make you uncomfortable, and both hosts discover that the invisible labor of adulthood — from oil changes to fabric weight sorting — is basically a series of maintenance rituals nobody trained us for.
You’ve been working out for months and you’re still basically doing the same thing you did on day one — and somehow you’re surprised it’s not working. This week, Srdjan explains why your body is smarter than your effort, and what it actually takes to stop spinning your wheels.
Kyle says if you’ve ever been in an argument, said something stupid, and then thought of the perfect comeback the next morning in the shower — congratulations, you’re a writer.

We unpack Robert Redford’s Quiz Show in the True Lies series: institutional pressure, father-son devastation, and how privilege turns fraud natural.
