    Let me set the scene: The year is 2020, the COVID pandemic is raging through the country, and I (yes, the agent in your inbox) am on the cusp of 21, heartbroken that I cannot go to a bar for my *very first* drink. Record scratch. Cut to [Client Name], wine extraordinaire, forced to forever close the doors of [Business Name]. What does [Client Name], our entrepreneurial heroine do? She leans into her side hustle and creates [Company Name], saving the birthdays of quarantined new-drinkers everywhere. Socially distanced champagne showers ensue.

    It’s been nearly three years and [Company Name] is now the fastest-growing [Proprietary Claim]. [Company Name] is made by [Demographic], in celebration of [Demographic], & in support of charitable organizations that make [demographic]'s lives better. [Client Name] would love to come onto [Podcast Name] and talk about how to lean into adversity, as well as:

    - Why only 2% of Series A funding goes to women and how to develop capital as a female entrepreneur

    - Changing the landscape of accessibility, elitism, and equity in the wine industry

    - The importance of women gathering together

    [Client Name] has been named in [Outlet], has been featured in The New York Times, and was a guest on [TV Show]. She also happens to be an amazing storyteller and a genuinely kind person. The wine itself is nothing to turn your nose up about either: their [Wine Name] was rated [Big Number] points by wine.com and the New York Wine Awards.

  • “We must vibe together or, most assuredly, we shall not vibe at all.” ― Benjamin Franklin, kind of. It’s the sentiment that counts, and that sentiment is what [Client Name] is all about. [Client Name] is putting humanity back in digital strategy by building teams that put people first. His digital strategy and talent growth agency, [Company Name], surpassed [Big Number] in its first year– despite a personal health bombshell, a client payment delinquency of nearly [Even Bigger Number], and post-COVID economic uncertainties.

    But how? Is it possible that vibes are that lucrative? There's only one way for the [Podcast Name] audience to find out! [Client Name] would love to chat about pivoting with resilience and humor, as well as:

    - Why new talent entering the marketplace is different than before and how to treat them as such

    - Honoring post-covid economic changes: contract workers vs. full-time employment

    - Protecting the value of your work, your experience, your time, and your people

    How does that sound? I'd love to help get something set up!

  • Most people that go viral lean into niche fame; it’s the “smart” thing to do in the digital age. [Client Name], gained [Really, Really Big Number] TikTok followers during the pandemic speaking on her experience as a [Indentifying Information] –and then deleted her account. What she discovered was that the internet craves one-dimensionality, but good leaders (and human beings) are anything but simple.

    She’s built her [Industry] company to reflect human complexity by combining [Proprietary Claim]. [Client Name] would love to chat with you and the [Podcast Name] audience about leading the [Industry] three-dimensionally, as well as:

    - Understanding where your responsibilities as a leader begin and end

    - Leading from behind and considering your employees’ previous trauma

    - Valuing neurodiversity in your team

    Are you interested in chatting with [Client Name]? I'd love to help get you two together!
