Meet the Team Behind the Mic

March 2020, the S&P was in freefall. Kyle sat glued to his screens, trading options while texting a friend who was doing the same. In late night talks about what they were learning (usually the hard way) their conversations turned raw, unfiltered, and oddly therapeutic. One question hung in the air: What if other people want to hear this? They hit record. No fancy mics. No script. Just two retail traders trying to make sense of chaos. That first file became episode one of 2 Bulls in a China Shop.

Laura came on board as business manager, but soon we were both cutting clips in the quiet of the studio, cleaning up audio, dropping in intros and outros, syncing video, editing footage, and designing graphics. What began as side tasks quickly became a shared mission. We learned every skill together and now run multiple projects with full command of production:

  • The Buck Starts Here - Presidential history and cliometrics

  • Band of Traders – Weekly trading roundtable

  • Voices of Blockchain– Deep dives into the blockchain/AI world

  • Beyond the Box - Charitable community impact 

  • Limited series special projects

We’ve done it all. Hundreds of guests including CEOs, bestselling authors, market professionals, VCs and tech thought leaders, with consistent weekly releases that explore startups, trading, DeFi, market psychology, and beyond.

We learned the hard way: which cheap mic crackles, how to salvage a dropped video call, and how to give each guest a comfortable experience. We built a boutique studio because great stories rise when voices are welcomed, conversations open up, and people have room to share what matters to them.

Now we bring that grit, that precision, and that ‘we’ve-been-there’ instinct to your special project.

Whether you’re launching an education series, producing a DeFi deep-dive, or need clean audio and video editing for your show, we’ve got the equipment, the workflow, and the scars to make it sing.

Your story doesn’t have to start from scratch. Ours already did.
