I help founders, consultants, and expert-led brands launch and produce professional podcasts, from strategy and show structure to video/audio editing and full-service production. For clients who need more than basic editing, I help shape polished, authority-building podcasts with clear positioning, structure, and production support. Most podcasts don’t fail because of editing. They struggle because there’s no clear strategy behind them — no structure, no positioning, no reason for people to stay engaged. That’s where I come in. I don’t just produce podcasts. I help you develop a show that reflects your brand, connects with your audience, and positions you as a credible voice in your space. Together, we build a podcast that: - Feels aligned with your brand and message - Keeps listeners engaged and coming back - Supports your broader business and content strategy Because a strong podcast isn’t just content. It’s a long-term asset that builds trust, authority, and connection over time. 📈 Client Result One client came to me with 15K monthly downloads but no clear structure or direction. We reworked the concept, refined the episode flow, and aligned the show with what her audience actually wanted. The results? → Grew to 100K+ downloads/month → Secured sponsorships (including HelloFresh) → Built a show with consistent listener return and engagement 🚀 How I Help? Creative Development & Strategy: - Podcast concept, positioning, and differentiation - Show format and structure designed for engagement - Audience alignment and content direction - Strategic role of the podcast within your brand Launch & Production: - Full launch support (trailer + initial episodes) - Video and audio production (Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Audition) - Brand-aligned intros, outros, and show identity - Systems for consistent, high-quality publishing Ongoing Partnership & Growth: - Episode refinement and performance improvement - Repurposing strategy for social and YouTube - Support as you grow into a confident, compelling host 🎥 Why Clients Choose Me 🔥 15+ years in video & audio production (The Bachelor, The Voice, Shark Tank) 🔥 25+ podcasts launched and refined 🔥 Strategy-first approach — not just editing 🔥 Focus on retention, engagement, and listener experience 🔥 End-to-end support, from concept to distribution 💬 What Clients Say "Steve transformed my podcast into a polished, professional show with stunning video edits and a clear direction. I’ve increased my audience, secured sponsorships, and built a platform I’m proud of." – Michelle Kenney, Peace and Parenting 📩 If you’re thinking about launching a podcast and want a strategic partner to help shape it the right way, let’s talk.
