Producer (Love Theory - YouTube)

About the Show

Love Theory is a relationship-focused podcast hosted by Tom and Lisa Bilyeu, featuring real-time video conversations with callers from the Impact Theory community. While episodes are recorded (not streamed live), callers join live on video—requiring tight production, strong judgment, and thoughtful caller management to ensure emotionally safe, high-quality conversations.
