Show Notes

We've all gotten bad pitches from services trying to book guests on our show (usually to sell their most recent me-too leadership book). This time, the bad pitch is from a service that wants me to hire them to pitch me as a guest. And it's clearly just a scrape, copy, and paste with a bit of AI dust.

I got an email congratulating me for being featured on The Audacity to Podcast® with Daniel J. Lewis and recommending another show to consider. It was definitely structured as a "Complment, Value, Offer" format (I made that up). But there are a few things wrong.
  • I've never been on The Audacity to Podcast® and, to my knowledge, Daniel doesn't take guests.
  • The show they recommended is absolutely not a fit (and, to my knowledge, not really a podcast).
  • If this is how well they pitch, I don't think I want them representing me.
I received a follow-up a couple days later, and I will likely reach out. I'm not sure exactly how I want to do that yet. But I think it might be interesting to know what they would do differently if they were actually representing me.

Also... this is a bit of an experiment. I'm streaming live (audio only) and publishing without editing. As a podcast host and editor, I don't really do that very much. But I want to try this out to see if I can make things easier for other podcasters who are struggling with either cost or time.
