Get Heard & Hired for Your Work in the World...
...By Being a Guest Expert on Aligned Podcasts
As a podcast guesting expert *and* pro baker…
I know it’s time for that matcha green tea tart your voice to rise.
But you’ve been wading through the *very* complex podcasting pond, feeling like you…
Have too many things to speak about, but struggle to narrow down which talking topics will lead to the most results in your business
(“Help me *not* have to think about this please?”)
Don’t know which angles of your work to prioritise for the podcasts you want to pitch to (*cringes and presses send anyways*)
Know that you have the capacity to serve bigger and more intentionally (but how do you distill that into a 45-minute interview?)
And what you really want is to…
Confidently articulate your key message — and customise it when needed — for your unique audience
Step into the spotlight on your terms (uhh, some IRL speaking opps would be cool too, right?)
Show the world *why* you’re so good at what you do — and gain the perspective to communicate that
Clarify the go-to podcast topics you should be pitching, so you always have some guiding pillars for the lifetime of your business
Learn why intentionally building authentic relationships with podcast hosts and their audience is a strategy *everyone* should be implementing
*Enter the podcast pitch makeover artist…*
Whether you’ve got some podcast interviews under your belt, but they've been a bit random with minimal results to show for it...
Or you’ve been sitting on the Podcast Guesting fence for a while and you're finally ready to give this visibility thing a real clear shot...
And you know you need to hire an expert to lock all of this down for you…
…but outsourcing to an external PR agency on an ongoing basis just doesn't feel right to you...
LEt's get you heard & hired, my lovely!

Let’s get to work!
Podcast Guesting Partner Service
here's an inside tour of how your experience would be like as a client:
Safer Storytelling (2 Hours via Zoom): We're told we need to keep our stories "succinct" right from the get go, right? The problem is, starting with succinctness often misses the best parts of your story.
That's why this will be *your* space to storytell in an unfiltered and uncensored way so I can uncover your unique Gems of Genius that naturally position you as the sought-after expert in your industry.
Ideation Incubator (2 Hours via Zoom): This is where I'll interview you in depth - and from this I'll co-create your suite of signature leadership topics so you know exactly what to say when people ask you: "What can you talk about?". I ask you questions, we bounce ideas, and you'll walk away with a deliverable with crystal clear clarity on which topics best reflect your work in the world.
The Pitch Partner Process: Sit back and relax while my team & I find 12 aligned podcasts (in terms of messaging AND values), and then I'll transform all 3 of your signature leadership topics into 12 ready-to-send pitches!
Here's a quick overview of the process:
Your Story Map to showcase your story in short, medium, and long versions so you to refer back to it anytime you need to tell your story succinctly on podcast interviews
Signature Topic Suite for you to easily access your 3 core topics and sub-topics to pitch & speak about in interviews
12 Ready-to-Send Podcast Pitches that you can send straight to podcasters to guest on their show! This will also come with your own Podcast Tracker to help you keep track of your pitching activities!
To conduct stages 1 (Safer Storytelling) & 2 (Ideation Incubator), it'll be 4 hours total of our time together on Zoom. From there, it'll take me 2-3 weeks to provide you with the final deliverables!
Option #1: The Full Podcast Guesting Partner Service ($5500)
Whether you're rebranding or you want strong Podcast Guesting foundations to leverage for the long haul - this is for you.
This includes all 3 stages I mentioned above and I'll also write 12 ready-to-send pitches for you to give you a head start! on your Podcast Guesting Journey!)
Option #2: The Positioning-Only Partner Service ($3500)
This only includes stages 1 & 2 where we'll work on your signature storytelling angles and your 3 signature topics of expertise to speak about on podcasts.
(Interest free payment plans of 2 or 3 months are available!)
In summary, here's how it all breaks down:
You know who says it best?
Success Stories, Client Love, Reviews, whatever you want to call ’em – here are a couple of amazing humans I’ve had the pleasure of working with (be sure to click the arrows, there's a lot of amazing stories to share!):
"Mai-kee truly holds space for you in a thoughtful, unrushed way and delivers authentic messaging magic within minutes."
As someone whose job is typically to listen to the stories of others, it was such a pleasure to be on the other side and receive. Before I worked with Mai-kee, my only visibility opportunities have been invitation-only and my cold pitches heard crickets.
For a long time, sitting down to figure out what I consider myself to be an "expert" in or how to own my story — and pitch both — have left me feeling stumped. (And I'm a copywriter.)
After working together 1:1, I now have clear and compelling topic suites that I can confidently pitch, personalised templates I'll keep returning to, and she even whipped up a custom pitch for a podcast I've had my eye on.
So I know that my business and future podcast pitches will be eternally grateful for Mai-kee's expertise
ZAFIRA RAJAN
Sensory Storyteller & Copywriter
"I unlocked my biz goal of being featured in Forbes this year - and the foundational story and ideas for my piece were uncovered when I worked privately with Mai-kee!"
Before working with Mai-kee I used to actively avoid visibility opportunities. My introverted brain was stuck on a rolling loop of “What if’s” clouded in doubt and fear, “What if I froze when they asked me a question, What could I pitch that was actually interesting…”
Our time working 1:1 together was a turning point for me. Mai-kee listened with empathy as we wove through stories that I sobbed through, ones that made me laugh, and others I was proud to tell. She helped me identify key moments that highlighted my business goals so I know have a solid suite of ideas to pitch and a few stories to rely on.
Plus, she helped me practice telling an emotional story that was a turning point in my business and hit the subtle line between bursting into tears or shutting off my emotions.
Mai-kee’s made the podcast guesting process something I actually look forward to now! I can relax into the 1-on-1 conversations I have with podcast hosts knowing I have stories to draw on.

"If you want to have a winning pitch drafted ready to hit send, communicate your story in an impactful and meaningful way sans 'waffle', and get an in-depth look at how you can create a podcast guesting strategy, Mai-kee is the person you need to work with!”
Before working with Mai-kee, I was about to give up on pitching podcasts because I didn't think my pitches worked. I felt like I rambled a lot and I felt like I didn't have a good enough story worthy to be on podcasts.
Throughout our 1:1 time together, I learned to tell my story in a succinct way and in a way that sat well with me. I also felt like I had a story worth telling and that might help others.
Mai-kee is a delight! She's such a great listener and she really lifted the curtain the whole podcast guesting strategy for me.
CARINA LAWSON
Award Winning Business Efficiency Expert, Personal Productivity Strategist & Founder of Ponderlily Paper & Planners
"Mai-kee was able to hold the space for me to feel safe enough to open up and "go deep" on my stories without any judgement."
After she extracted all the gems out of me, I realized that I do have great things to share - and I also found my bigger mission and why. After 1:1 working together in our, I felt confident and clear about what overall message I can share with people, beyond just podcasts.
No more sitting around and waiting for clarity to hit me. I had peace of mind and confidence that Mai-kee would get it right for me. She'd shown great empathy and took great care of me at every touch point during the whole journey.

Leadership Expert
"Mai-kee is the go-to expert on all things podcast pitching, and wow, did she ever deliver!"
2020 is my year of visibility, and I knew one of the best ways to get my name out there would be as a guest on podcasts where my ideal clients tune in. But with so many pods, and so little time to listen to them all (or know how to pitch them), I knew I needed to find a solution.
Enter Mai-kee, who helped strategize based on my business, my customer, and my style of content and conversation.
Tamara Glick
Personal Stylist & Content Copywriter
Her time, her coaching and her attention was incredibly helpful for me on a lot of different levels - tactical for sure, but also in terms of feeling solid in myself and feeling more confident.
I recently did a VIP Spotlight Day with Mai-kee, and it was really eye-opening. Walking into it I’ve already done some work on my messaging and how I wanted to show up on podcasts and through the process, I kinda redefined it all from the ground up.
From telling my WHOLE story and having her hold that space, it really allowed me to process thoughts and feelings around what it is to be visible and guest on podcasts, and think about how I really want to show up.
And so, we worked through that and got to change a lot of my beliefs and feelings about what I need to be as a visible business owner.
So the intangibles are just as valuable as the tactical stuff. Obviously I have a lot of things in my bag of tricks that I’m looking forward to using when it comes to pitching podcasts, and in terms of better understanding better who I want to reach out to and how to reach out to them.
I can’t recommend this highly enough, this has been a really fantastic experience! Thank you Mai-kee!

The VIP day with Mai-Kee was so personalised and special. It was packed full of top tips from her extensive Podcast Guesting experience!
Before we started working with Mai-Kee, we knew that we needed to bring in more leads for the business and wanted to try guesting on podcasts.
We had approached a handful of podcast hosts. One lead got a reply but then came to nothing. We felt a bit lost. I get rave reviews for my speaking and teaching appearances and so this was disappointing.
We came away from Mai-kee's VIP Spotlight Day feeling that we'd learned loads and had all sorts of stuff that we could put in to practice easily straight away.
It was also encouraging in the sense that we felt we could do it, and we could see why our previous efforts had failed. Paul (Rachel's team member to implement the strategies) felt so inspired that he dived into the podcast research immediately and has continued excitedly since.

"Mai-kee added these really personal touches to make me feel that this experience truly was just for me!"
I have a goal to be a guest on podcasts this year, and realised that I was struggling who to pitch to, what to pitch, and the whole process - so I knew I wanted to work with her.
In our time together, she really listened to me as I talked about my business, and she helped to pull out the gems that I say all the time - but I never thought of them as topics before because I’m too close to my own business. So we got really clear on my topics, and I walked away with a step by step plan on how to pitch them to podcasts.

"We got SO much accomplished in our time together, and I learned how to not only make a successful pitch, but I also came away with a fully written pitch that was ready to go!"
Before working with Mai-kee, I truly had no idea where to start in the process with podcast pitching, but she has a very clear process to help prepare me.
I’m SO grateful to have these new tools in my business toolbox, and feel so much more confident in my pitching skills moving forward!

No worries! My existing client base is spread around the whole globe, so I’m already used to working with the time differences anyway.
When you submit your intake form (via the button below), I'll ask about your timezone when we have our Alignment Consult.
From there if we wind up working together, I'll use my scheduler Calendly to find a time where we’re both fully awake and caffeinated– so don’t worry, I’ll make sure the time works for the both of us!
This service has been designed with introverts in mind (Zoom fatigue is REAL, yo!)
So I've balanced our service schedule to look like this:
- Day 1 for Safer Storytelling = 2 Hours of You Being Interviewed on Zoom
- Day 2 for The Ideation Incubator = 2 Hours of You Being Interviewed on Zoom
(You can opt to merge Days 1 & 2 into a 4 Hour intensive with a break in the middle!)
There's nothing that you need to "do" after completing the prep work beforehand, the rest of the time you'll get to sit back and be interviewed!
Sure can! I typically offer 2 or 3 month payment plans.
I do ask that the entire investment of the instalments are paid before receiving your final deliverables of the Podcast Guesting Partner Service.
Of course, if you would an extended payment plan, we can chat about that in our consult.
All payments are in USD and can be paid either by Stripe or via Paypal.
*sniffs* I’m slightly hurt that you’re already thinking about this 🥺.
Hah, with all jokes aside, all payments are final and non-refundable, this includes instalments for payment plans too.
So while I don't provide a money back guarantee, you do get my 100% Focus Guarantee: “When you buy my time, you get my 100% undivided attention and focus.”
In other words, I never take more than 1 Podcast Guesting Partner client at a time - you're my only and only! 😉
Absolutely! I also have the:
Positioning-Only Partner Service ($3500)
This only includes stages 1 & 2 where we'll work on your signature storytelling angles and your 3 signature topics of expertise to speak about on podcasts.
We can decide what's best for you on our "Alignment Consult".
At the present time, I only offer the Pitch Partner (Stage 3) as a standalone offer for past clients and directly referred clients only.
I only have the capacity to take on 1-2 Podcast Guesting Partners per month (no overlap).
As a result, you can expect a 4-8 week timeframe depending on this availability and whichever payment option you choose.
So if you're interested in seeing if this is a mutual fit, let's chat here >>>
(I'll ask in the form whether you prefer to have your consult via Zoom or Voxer)
If your cuppa of English Breakfast tea is going cold — I’m *still* here, ready to answer your questions.
What if we’re in totally different time zones?
No worries! My existing client base is spread around the whole globe, so I’m already used to working with the time differences anyway.
When you submit your intake form (via the button below) and we start our consult, I'll ask you about your timezone there.
From there if we work together, I'll use my scheduler Calendly to find a time where we’re both fully awake and caffeinated– so don’t worry, I’ll make sure the time works for the both of us!
How much do I need to be "on" for this service?

Do you have a money-back guarantee?
*sniffs* I’m slightly hurt that you’re already thinking about this 🥺.
Hah, with all jokes aside, the VIP Spotlight Experience is LIVE (well, online anyway) with me, and so all payments are final and non-refundable, this includes instalments for incomplete payment plans too (this will be credited to another service instead).
So while I don't provide a money back guarantee, you do get my 100% Focus Guarantee: “When you buy my time, you get my 100% undivided attention and focus.”
So, when you've booked a VIP Spotlight Experience with me, you’re my ONLY priority during that time.
I'm not sure if I need the Full Podcast Guesting Partner Service, do you have something smaller to start with?
Absolutely! I also have the:
Positioning-Only Partner Service ($3500)
