Stop sending generic pitches. Find the right shows, lead with a strong point of view, and make it easy for the right hosts to say yes.
You may have a powerful story, valuable expertise, and something your audience needs to hear.
But getting featured on the right podcasts and media platforms requires more than hoping someone discovers you.
You need to know:
• What you want to be known for
• Which shows are genuinely aligned with your work and which are distractions
• How to pitch the host (not just yourself)
• What makes your story relevant to their audience
• How to follow up without losing track
The Pitch Kit gives you a practical system for doing exactly that.
The Pitch Kit is a step-by-step resource for experts, founders, speakers, and thought leaders who want to pursue podcast and media opportunities with more clarity, intention, and consistency.
Inside, you’ll learn how to research aligned shows, craft a compelling pitch, follow up professionally, and prepare to be a stellar guest.
Podcasting isn’t just content. It’s leadership.
Use the Pitch Tracker to organize your target shows, pitches, follow-ups, responses, and next actions. (Or empower your team to help!)
Prepare properly, serve the audience, blend education with entertainment, and share your expertise in a classy way without turning the conversation into a sales pitch.
Clarify the topics you want to be known for and identify the audience you most want to reach.
Find shows based on audience alignment, subject matter, style, episode history, and genuine interest (not just the size of the platform which is the most common mistake).
Know when to follow up one week later, two weeks later, and again after one month without making the process awkward or disorganized.
