Have a story that helps builders build better?

We’re always looking for founders, operators, and leaders willing to share the real lessons behind their wins and wobbles. If you’ve got a fresh perspective, a candid story, and tangible takeaways, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re especially keen to hear from

  • Founders and operators building in Scotland and across the UK outside London.
  • Leaders with hard-won lessons in scaling, resilience, or reinvention.
  • Subject-matter experts with playbooks operators can use right now.
  • Community builders and ecosystem shapers moving the needle locally.

What makes a brilliant pitch?

  • One clear story arc with a strong “why now”.
  • Specific takeaways (frameworks, metrics, or decisions) our audience can steal.
  • Willingness to talk about the tough bits as well as the wins.
  • Links to decks, assets, or episodes you’ve already appeared on (if any).

How the process works

  • We review pitches fortnightly and reply to every submission.
  • If it’s a fit, we’ll line up a 20-minute prep call and share our episode outline.
  • Recording happens in our Fife studio or remotely with high-quality audio.
  • You’ll receive clips, artwork, and key quotes you can share with your audience.
