Nine stages
From idea to business asset.
The framework gives you the order. The membership gives you the detailed training, templates, walkthroughs and support to execute each stage properly.
Positioning
Create a clear proposition, name, format and point of view that gives the right audience a reason to care.
Setup
Choose the equipment, studio, software and workflow that fit your budget and quality target.
Production
Plan, record and present episodes confidently while creating a consistent viewer and listener experience.
Guests
Find, approach, prepare and look after guests who add real value and help expand your network.
Publishing
Build a repeatable process for editing, titles, thumbnails, descriptions, distribution and episode pages.
Repurposing
Turn each long-form recording into clips, posts, articles, email ideas and evergreen business content.
Growth
Improve discovery, packaging, retention, promotion, collaborations and the journey from viewer to returning audience.
Repeat
Turn everything into a documented, repeatable podcast system your business can run episode after episode without reinventing the process.
The framework is the map
The community is where you build it.
Work through the complete system at your own pace, use the templates, ask questions and learn from everything we've discovered producing podcasts, building businesses and interviewing founders.
Built for business owners
Not a course about becoming an audio engineer.
This framework is designed around using a podcast as a business, authority and relationship asset. Production quality matters, but technology only earns its place when it supports the bigger strategy.
Build authority
Create useful long-form content that demonstrates experience and builds trust over time.
Build relationships
Use the podcast to create meaningful conversations with customers, partners and people you want to know.
Build a content engine
Design the process so one recording creates multiple useful pieces of business content.
