Be a guest

If you built a business from the ground up and remember what the first step felt like, I'd like to hear it.

Who fits

  • Founders who built a business from scratch, often while working another job.
  • People with a real start story, including the mistakes. This isn't a product pitch.
  • Businesses of any industry. Medium-sized companies are a sweet spot; larger ones are welcome.

The show doesn't book guests through PR agencies. If you have an assistant who handles your calendar, that's no problem.

How it works

  1. Say hello. Email a few lines about you, your business and how it started.
  2. Pick a time. I'll send a calendar invite, a short outline of where the conversation might go, and a simple guest release to sign.
  3. Talk for 45 to 60 minutes. We record video on Riverside from your browser. Headphones and a quiet room are all you need.
  4. Share it easily. On release day you get a guest kit: short clips, ready-to-post captions and links.

Get in touch

Send your name, your business, a link to your website or LinkedIn, and two or three sentences on how you got started.
