Fix Your Body, Fix Your Business | Dr. Paul Castle

Ever wondered why your back hurts after editing… or why shooting weddings wrecks your shoulders?
In this episode of Almost Creative, Travis sits down with Dr. Paul Castle, a chiropractor with 22+ years of experience, to break down how creatives can stay healthy, build better habits, and extend the lifespan of their career.

From New Year’s resolutions to posture, diet, movement, and the reality of running a business for two decades — Paul shares simple, practical advice that every photographer, videographer, designer, and creator needs to hear.
