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.

When you’re ready, record your story below.

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.

Here’s a good template to use…

Or, alternatively, you can submit the story in writing here.
