How We Work

You show up and talk. We run everything else.

Six steps that keep a show publishing on schedule without eating your week.

01

Strategy and Voice

A content-first strategy identifying your audience, your goals and the voice that brings them in.

02

Pre-Production

Episode outlines, scripts, scheduling and guest prep handled by our team so the show runs smoothly.

03

Recording

In our Atlanta studio or on location at your space, with pro-grade gear and production direction.

04

Editing and Packaging

Clean editing, branded intro and outro, captions, show notes and thumbnails, prepared for every platform.

05

Distribution

Published to Apple, Spotify, Amazon and YouTube with SEO optimized titles and descriptions.

06

Reporting and Growth

Listener metrics, engagement and audience insight, used to refine format and promotion.

Services and Specialties

What we run every month.

Six areas of the show. The episode volume and the growth layer are what change by tier.

Recording Sessions

Sessions at our Atlanta studio or on-site at your space, with production direction so the energy holds across every take.

Show Strategy and Structure

Audience, format, episode topics and content pillars defined up front, then revisited as the show finds its footing.

Editing and Packaging

Multi-camera edits, branded intro and outro, captions, thumbnails and quality review before anything publishes.

Guest Coordination

Guest research, outreach, scheduling and prep materials at Growth and above, with strategic targeting at Authority.

Distribution and Video SEO

Published to Apple, Spotify, Amazon and YouTube with optimized titles, descriptions and thumbnails.

Repurposing

Short-form reels, blog posts, carousels and newsletter content cut from each episode, so one recording fuels the whole month.

Retainer Tiers

Three levels of ongoing production.

Every tier includes recording, editing, distribution and reporting. Episode volume and the growth work are what change.
