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.

Is Thor: The Dark World misunderstood? Or is it, as some claim, a cinematic black hole, sucking the very life out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Matthew Fox and Pete Wright return to Asgard to begin their coverage of the eighth film in the MCU. They ask the big questions, like: why is there so much exposition? Is Odin a big fat liar? And most importantly, why does the Aether scream?
In this debut episode of Headstone, I’m sitting down with Carrie Fox, founder and CEO of Mission Partners, to explore what it means to live a life that leaves an imprint. Not one carved in marble but etched into the people we love, the work we do, and the conversations we choose to have.
What if the hardest part of getting healthy isn’t the workout—but walking through the gym door? This week, Pete and Srdjan dismantle the myths and mind games that keep people from taking the first step, and offer a gentler, more human roadmap to sustainable change.
When a parent is back in the dating pool, and it’s somehow both adorable and terrifying. Meanwhile, Tommy learns that traveling with aging parents requires less speed and more patience—and possibly a tactical hot sandwich delay plan.

This week, Pete Wright is joined by HR expert Terry Cook and employment attorney Sarah Piscatelli to take on your thorniest, most sleep-stealing HR questions.
James Gunn’s Superman reboot flies in with big hopes, bigger swings, and a literal flying dog—and somehow, it works. The Film Board tries to make sense of clone fights, emotional journalism, and whether Supergirl really just called Superman a bitch. (She did.)
In 2013, Marvel Studios released Thor: The Dark World, the eighth film in what was, at the time, a still-experimental attempt to build a unified cinematic universe. The film made nearly $650 million at the global box office, was a technical success by virtually any Hollywood standard, and yet—if you ask the average Marvel fan today to recall its plot, you’ll likely be met with a long pause, followed by something like, “Was that the one with the elves?”
You’re spending good money on supplements—but do you really know what’s helping and what’s just glittery snake oil in a tub? This week on Build for Health, Pete and Srdjan dismantle the myths, decode the labels, and help you stock your cabinet with the stuff that actually works.
This week’s episode takes on rejection, writer’s block, and creative rituals—plus, two Mad Libs that spiral from “silly” to “existential crisis in a cheese grater.” It’s weird, it’s honest, it’s everything you didn’t know you needed.
What does it mean to apologize like an adult—and why does grief support always feel like a pop quiz you’re destined to fail? This week, Pete and Tommy explore why grown-up regrets are messier than ever, and how sometimes the best support is just showing up with a pizza.
