Alright, so you wanna know how I dove into the whole “Brendan Schaub Mark Harley” thing? Buckle up, it’s a bit of a story.

First off, I stumbled across some mentions of Brendan Schaub’s podcast, “The Fighter & The Kid,” while browsing comedy and MMA stuff online. I heard about it a while back but didn’t really pay attention to it. I kinda knew Schaub as that fighter-turned-comedian guy. I was curious about his content.
I was doing some research on a particular podcast setup I was interested in and I kept seeing Mark Harley’s name pop up. So, I started digging. Then, I realised Mark Harley had done some production/creative content for Schaub. It kinda piqued my curiosity.
So, what did I do? I did a deep dive! I started watching old episodes of TFATK, looking for the Harley influence. You gotta understand, it wasn’t like they were shouting it from the rooftops. I was looking for visual cues, subtle changes in the production quality, and that kind of thing.
I really started noticing the difference in editing style, and the overall flow of the show.
- Before, it felt a little all over the place, but then it got a bit smoother.
- I noticed the intro music was cleaner, the graphics were updated
I noticed, especially in the later episodes I watched, the edits were snappier, the camera angles were more dynamic, and the audio was noticeably better. It was definitely a level up in production value.

Next, I dove into Harley’s own work. Figured I’d see if I could spot some common threads between his personal projects and what he did for Schaub. Scrolled through social media, watched reels, looked at their portfolios… you know, the whole nine yards.
I noticed, he does a lot of content production, but he did a lot more than just audio and video stuff. He had a knack for storytelling and bringing projects to life. I saw some behind-the-scenes snippets of his process, and I really liked how he approached things.
Then I went back to older stuff and compared. The shift was pretty clear. I’m guessing Harley helped to refine the show’s image and keep it consistent.
So, the lesson here is, if you want to see how someone elevates a brand, look at the details. It’s never just one thing, it’s a collection of improvements that make all the difference. And that’s how I explored the whole Brendan Schaub Mark Harley thing!
