The work I do

A senior operator embedded in your content team. Without the full-time hire.

i.

Run the podcast and video vendor stack

Own contracts, accountability, quality, and delivery cadence across podcast production, video editing, scripting, thumbnails, and adjacent creative partners.

ii.

Hold the brand quality bar

Review every major deliverable across audio and video before it reaches talent. Catch what shouldn't ship. Protect the brand from anything that drifts off-standard.

iii.

Translate founder voice

Bridge founder vision and vendor execution so podcast hosts stay in their lane, editors get clear briefs, and nobody has to do anyone else's job.
