About the Producer

Agency-level output, delivered entirely solo

Hi, I'm John Lloyd Sarez, founder and only producer of PlayPress Studio. I help founders and consultants turn every recorded episode into a full week of content, without them lifting a finger past the record button.

My path in wasn't the usual one. I graduated in Computer Engineering, and the pandemic hit before I'd ever set foot in a corporate office. My first break was writing podcast show-notes, back when that meant actually listening to every episode and writing it out by hand. One task led to the next: editing video, running socials, then leading a team of virtual assistants across a slate of client shows for over four years.

That time taught me the difference between content that's finished and content that's done right. When a show moves through many hands, an episode rarely gets one person's full, honest attention. So I built PlayPress Studio to be the opposite: one producer, your show end-to-end, and a roster I keep small on purpose.

Off the clock: I read a lot of Chinese web novels, xianxia and xuanhuan, the long cultivation epics. Think Wattpad, but the authors are Chinese. And when it comes to choosing a hook or a cut, I go completely on gut feel. It hasn't steered me wrong yet.
