Behind the Mic: Spotlighting Callin Creators, Volume 1
Creators are the lifeblood of Callin — they’re doing the hard work of kickstarting shows, ideating topics, recruiting guests, recording rooms, editing episodes & growing their audiences. We’re highlighting (pun intended!) a few creators each month on Behind the Mic, a show from the Callin team.

A lot of ingredients go into the food we eat, something that Danny Sterling, founder of ELYA Foods, knows all about. We wanted to know what ingredients have made Danny into the person he is today. In this episode of Behind the Mic, Danny shares more about what he’s made of.
