Tracks to True Success: How to Make a World-Changing Impact with Carlin Muccular, Producer / CEO of Shedtracks

Do you feel that making a big impact with your creative gift is just too difficult these days?

Not true, if you approach your life with a heart to serve and dedication to excellence - and there's no better example of this than producer, drummer, songwriter and entrepreneur Carlin Muccular.

Having been awarded "top amateur drummer" in the country at the early age of 15 and touring with Grammy-winning vocalist Ledisi, Carlin quickly became a musician to be reckoned with. His talent eventually led to his selection as drummer for six time Grammy award winning artist Israel Houghton. In addition, he' has signed major publishing deals as a producer and songwriter, and has been a key part of multiple Billboard #1 albums. Carlin also serves on the musical staff at World Changers Church International in Atlanta, GA pastored by Dr. Creflo Dollar.

Carlin is the CEO, founder and visionary behind the music production site Shedtracks.com. Since its inception in 2020, Shedtracks has become the leading software product for drummers and other musicians who want to practice with professional quality backing tracks.

In this interview you'll discover how Carlin built on the solid musical and spiritual foundation provided by his family and applied it to every situation - from his time at Berklee to his current position with Israel and New Breed. He'll share how key principles like being a person of character, valuing relationships, and being willing to take risks in business mark the path to true success as a creative.

More About the God and Gigs Show

Welcome to The God and Gigs Show, the podcast for Christian creators who want to build a creator lifestyle that honors God and gives you the joy and satisfaction you've always wanted.

This isn't a show about hustle culture or chasing the next algorithm trick. We go beyond surface-level tips to talk about what it actually looks like to create from a place of faith — practical strategies for podcasting, content creation, and growing a creative business that lasts. You'll hear conversations about staying consistent without burning out. We also dig into finding your creative voice along the way, even when ministry, family, and work are all pulling at the same hours.

Whether you're just exploring your creative gifts, or you've been creating professionally for years, this show gives Christian creators practical tools and spiritual encouragement to fully embrace God's creative calling - at any level of skill or vocational ability. The goal is to help you create consistently and embrace God's will for your creative life without sacrificing your calling.

Your host and founder is Allen C. Paul — podcaster, musician, author, and speaker based in South Florida.  We started this show to help creators thrive in faith, business, and creativity through simple, practical solutions.

We'll cover questions like:

• How do I work in secular arts and entertainment without losing my faith focus?
• What does it actually look like to build a creative business as a Christian?
• How can I stay consistent with content creation without burning out?
• What's the difference between hustle culture and sustainable creative work?
• How do I find my voice as a faith-driven or creator?
• How can I balance ministry, family, and creative work?
• What are practical first steps to working as a Christian creator?

If you've been searching for honest conversations about faith and creativity,  keeping your family and relationships as your first priority, or how to build a business that honors your calling, you're in the right place. Join us every week as we help you become the creator you were created to be.
