In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with Parker Olson, co-founder of PodPitch, to explore the intersection of automation, podcasting, and entrepreneurship. Parker shares how his tool helps experts and businesses get booked on the right shows through AI-powered outreach — and reveals the common mistakes people make when trying to pitch themselves. They also dive into why starting with a clear “listener promise” is essential for any new podcast, how to validate your business idea by asking the hard questions early, and why making your first dollar fast can be the best product development strategy of all!
