Our name comes from the old Southern phrase, sitting in the catbird seat.

It means to be in the most advantageous position possible. Sitting in the catbird seat is more than an advantage. It’s a lens to see the world through, a place of rest in the midst of the storm.

When we have a perspective of ‘sitting in the catbird seat,‘ we see through a lens of hope, and are equipped to change the world for the better.

Our mission is to create content from that perspective of hope. We seek to embolden people to lend their strength in the face of adversity. We choose to tell stories of people who are shining brightly in dark places, taking risks, and swimming against the current.

John Stinson

I’ve been captivated by storytelling for as long as I can remember. From an early age, I was drawn to the power of narrative—not just in words, but in the way images and sound bring stories to life.

Living in and traveling through different cultures has shaped how I see the world and the way I tell stories. Experiencing life from so many perspectives made me realize words alone wouldn’t cut it—I wanted people to see what I was seeing, hear what I was hearing, and feel what I was feeling.

I’ve never been able to shake my love for storytelling. If anything, I love it more now than ever. For years, I only shared stories with people I knew, but I felt that I needed to reach beyond that. I founded Catbird Seat Productions so I could share stories beyond the limits of my friends—stories that challenge, inspire, or move them the way they’ve moved me. Stories told from the catbird seat, from an uncommon perspective.
