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.
This page features episodes on which he has been a host.

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.

This week, Marvel Movie Minute does something bold. Something dramatic. Something that, quite frankly, should probably come with a warning label. We’re handing over hosting duties from the Iron Man 3 dream team—Kyle Olson and Rob Kubasko—to the brave, possibly deluded souls who have volunteered to take on the MCU’s most famously “meh” entry: Thor: The Dark World.
