Summary
#127: Carrie Caulfield is back to give a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to grow beyond "just" editing. She talks about how she went from editing simple interview shows to landing a major role with the Legal Media Network—all sparked by a note in the Podcast Editors Club Facebook group with a pitch. Carrie didn’t wait until she felt “ready.” Instead, she kept saying yes to opportunities, learning as she went, and building her confidence through experience rather than formal training. As her career progressed, she naturally moved beyond editing into storytelling, production, and eventually leadership. Now, she’s overseeing large-scale operations, managing teams, and helping shape content for hundreds of clients. Through it all, she keeps coming back to the same idea: growth comes from being willing to figure things out, even when you’re unsure. Her journey is a reminder that skills build on each other, and if you stay curious and open to stretching yourself, you can turn a small starting point into something much bigger. Key moments: Carrie secured her current role by proactively pitching herself She transitioned into narrative storytelling and full-scale production work Her experience shows that editing skills can evolve into broader storytelling and leadership capabilities She now oversees production for nearly 200 clients, managing teams, workflows, and content strategy A major success factor has been willingness to learn on the fly and take on challenges without waiting for formal training Resources mentioned in the show: Carrie Caulfield , Director of Production, The Legal Media Network @ TheCarrieCaulfield (IG, Threads) https://carriecaulfield.notion.site Our Editor for this episode: This episode of the Podcast Editors Mastermind was edited by Ale…
