What If Your Biggest Pivot Becomes Your Purpose
Episode 224
Tuesday, 8 September, 2026
Send us Fan MailA lot can happen in two months, and when I finally got back on the mic, I wanted to pick up where life left off, with somebody who’s been building quietly and winning loudly. My guest is my son, Bryce Barnett, an award-winning student podcaster, emerging journalist, and graphic designer who’s already stacked real accomplishments while most people are still figuring out what they even want to be. We talk like family, but we also get specific about the work: how he started podcasting in high school, how he learned to tell stories that matter, and how he turned creativity into a skill set with results. Bryce breaks down what it felt like to switch high schools after freshman year, the anxiety and identity shake-up that comes with starting over, and the mindset shift that helped him rebuild at Homewood-Flossmoor. We also get into the assumptions people make, especially when you “look like” you should be doing one thing, and why Bryce chose journalism, radio, and podcasting over chasing basketball expectations. If you’re navigating a big change, a new school, or a new chapter, this conversation is a real reminder that discomfort can be training, not punishment. Then we go into the creative lane: graphic design. Bryce explains how making podcast cover art on Canva became a gateway into branding, poster design, and eventually Photoshop, plus what beginners should learn first if they want to start designing today. We even have some fun with his WWE fandom and a top five wrestlers debate, before I close with what I’m learning too: purpose, patience, and trusting the long game. Subscribe, share this with someone who’s mid-pivot, and leave a review with the one leap of faith you’re taking next.Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: The SHITTS Podcast.
