Phillip Lanos
Founder-Ops for Creators & Podcast Producer (Cal Fussman, Al Jazeera, 2,000+ episodes)
I am absolutely stunned. This might be one of the most valuable sessions I had on Growth Mentor. Phillip gave me a 45 minutes crash course about podcast production and business. It was a pleasure learning from him. We talked about the entrepreneurial mindset, a checklist of what I need to take care of, and podcast production. Phillip boils everything double to fundamentals and helps you get clarity from the ground level. Without a doubt, I hope to get on more calls to learn more from him. All in all, I loved the session. Thanks a lot, Phillip.
In record time, Phillip helped me lock in to my value prop of my podcast/content. On top of this, I have a handful of technical solutions I needed to get the podcast live. I feel closer and more aligned to getting my content/podcast strategy live!
Had a very nice conversation with Phillip, he gave some good tips and direction. Highly recommended :)

Expertise
Content marketing
Its all about strategy right? Sure, but it's also about the depth of your knowledge and your ability to share it piece by piece. We often take what we know for granted so I'll be a sounding board to extrapolate all the bits and pieces you don't see as bits and pieces.
Go to market strategy
Getting your podcast ready for launch takes a bit of work but I can help get you there over a few sessions. Once we get the ground work laid out - we can begin to explore how you'll operate as a host.
Public relations
In terms of knowing how to work a room - that's easy if you follow a mental framework. Now when we're addressing different "Publics" as they call it in the biz, we have to watch for compliance if needed but otherwise we can also follow a framework to stay the course in style.
Toolkit
Asana
12 years of experienceAsana makes for a good CRM and Project manager but its rare to come across a business that could ever exhaust everything Asana can do -- even other alternatives might make more sense it all depends on your team and their preferred style of management.
Trello
12 years of experienceI've worked with every project management tool I can think of...until I learn that there's a new software out there doing something different. Trello is the best tool for any simple SOP you need to set up,

B2B
My domain experience is predominantly B2B not B2C. You may want to consider working with someone else if you're looking to reach general consumers. This is an important element when considering who to invest in a meeting with here on this platform and I hope you've taken that into consideration. if so I'm looking forward to speaking with you.
