Stephen Davis - from Hollywood to Hip-Hop to Pod Sound School

Stephen Davis started at a major Hollywood studio. He worked as an intern then a runner, to an assistant engineer until he eventually became an engineer, covering the large spectrum of production. 

Then in 2007 he started his own recording studio where he specialized in recording and producing bands and hip hop artists. While getting lost in endless hours of music production, he also found the time to play in bands, compose music, educate others on recording, provide Pro Tools lessons, and attend school for film making.

Now he brings all this experience and talent to the podcasting world where he and his wife Veronica created Pod Sound School to help podcasters learn the craft by providing training in three formats - podcasts, animated videos, and blog posts.

Paul set the bar even higher for himself and went on to become a subject matter expert as a Hostage Negotiator, Detective, International Peace Keeper, and instructor. The many specialized areas he worked in provided him with first-hand experience on how to help, understand and influence others.
