About this listen

For writers who're juggling life, and writing, and more life, and trying to write, all while trying to life. Most writers aren't this-is-my-only-job-famous, so this is a podcast of two writers who're also that, all while trying to write while having a life (spouse, parent, etc...). Join published authors J.T. Maxwell and Amy Cip to see how they attempt to balance life, and writing, and everything in between. There will be cursing, laughing, and fun.Authors J.T.

  • E10: Branding, with Special Guest Chris Whitten
    Apr 28 2026

    April 2026: In our tenth episode, J.T. and Amy get schooled about branding by our special guest, Chris Whitten. Chris has made a lifetime of understanding how branding works -- especially as an entrepreneur -- and he shares a few of his insights with us. We discuss Branding 101, Personal versus Professional, Red Threads, Self-Limiting Beliefs, Energy versus Time, The Celery Test, values, Simon Sinek, Infinite Games versus Finite Games, The Procrastination Monster, and MySpace, among other topics. It's a glorious doozie!

  • E8: Readers and Reviewers
    Feb 17 2026

    February 2026: Amy and J.T. discuss the process, importance, and insanity that is readers and reviewers. (This'd be A LOT easier if we were world famous, and not the cacophony of cluster-fucks that it is.)
