January pilot for podcast-curious founders


Reader,

Quick note before the holidays.

In January, I’m opening a small, invitation-only pilot for founders who have been seriously considering a podcast—but only if it’s done with intention, craft, and long-term leverage.

This is for founders who:

  • Already see podcasting as an authority play (not a vanity project)
  • Have a small team (1–3 people) and limited margin for distraction
  • Care about credibility, relationships, and signal—not just downloads

The focus of the pilot is to help you design a podcast that compounds—as a trust engine, relationship builder, and strategic asset for your business—without adding operational drag.

I’m making a real investment here (hands-on strategy, positioning, and guidance), which is why the group will be intentionally small.

If this resonates, reply with “interested” and I’ll share details to see if it’s a mutual fit.

This is not for first-time creators or hobbyists. It’s for founders who want a podcast they won’t outgrow in six months.

Warmly,

Harry

What changed wasn’t “awareness.” It was trust. Because a great podcast isn’t a billboard. It’s a 30–45 minute credibility transfer. You’re not...

“You don’t need more leads. You need more meaningful conversations.” The lightbulb moment was almost visible above his head. I was chatting with a prospect that was having a challenging time connecting with a qualified and relevant audience.. It's a problem I see all too often. Most businesses are drowning in leads but starving for genuine connections. I learned this lesson the hard way myself. Three years ago, I was obsessively focused on growing my email list. More subscribers meant more...

In my sophomore year of college, I discovered the pool hall on campus. Those first few weeks were definitely intimidating because I knew nothing about playing pool. There were many great players there. And over the next few months, thru observation and some friendly coaching, I learned a lot and became a semi-decent player. I picked it up as a hobby, and the skill has come in handy over the years. But one thing is clear: there's a difference between being a professional and doing something...
