Somewhere between managing celebrity guests and dodging stacks of last-minute scripts, JC and Lina sat down to talk about what’s really been going on inside the studio at OLAS Media. Let’s just say... it’s been a ride.

This episode of I Just Wanted to Push Record peels back the curtain on Q1 of 2025—the wins, the messes, the growing pains. JC shares what it’s like to have “too many chefs” in the ‘Damn’ kitchen, where strong visions sometimes clash and collaboration turns into chaos. Lina admits she’s still learning to trust the process (and not lose her mind) when unexpected changes throw a wrench into a tightly scheduled day.

But amid all the bumps, there’s real growth. The team redesigned their studio space, took on new shows, and even found joy in the mess. They talk about managing client expectations, finding your voice as a producer, and why routine isn’t just for boring people—it’s for getting things done.

If you’ve ever felt like your creative process was more fight than flow, this one’s for you.
