Pitch Your Story for the Podcast, Thrive. Connect. Contribute.
We positive share stories of resilient people. The key word here is “story.” We want to hear about a time in your life when you faced a setback and what you did about it. You will take us from the gut-punch moment to the lessons learned.
Here’s a description of our perfect guest:
- You have faced a setback and fought your way back.
- You can take us to the exact time and date where time stood still for you.
- You can tell a story that describes the setting, the obstacle you were up against, the actions you took, and the results.
- You are authentic and selfless. Your aim is to serve the audience, not yourself.

A few basic guidelines
State your first and last name and where you’re calling from.
Feel free to mention your website or blog once during the recording. Don’t get spammy/sale-sy. (And no need to mention “www,” just give the URL after that. For example, “CultureShift dot com.”)
Keep your story under four minutes in length. If it goes a little over, that’s fine, but keep it short and sweet.
Please note that by submitting a voicemail question, you’re allowing me to share it publicly on the podcast or radio program.
