Have a story to tell?
Let's make a living off it.

It starts with a full podcast episode about you. It ends with a business built around your story: a book, a course, a page that pays you. You pick how far we take it.

For players, coaches, trainers, and arm-care and PT specialists, current or retired.

How it works

Tell it. Plan it. Build it.

01

The episode

Your story, told right. You sit down for a full, long-form episode on Out of Left Field or The Up & In Show. It goes out on YouTube and every podcast app, and it stays there for good. It's the first thing anyone finds when they look you up. The episode is free.

The consult

After we record, we sit down and talk business. You've already told us the story. Now we figure out what you want to do with it.

  • How much more of your story do you want to tell?
  • Do you want to earn from it: some side income, a full-time living, or a legacy piece?
  • Who would pay to learn from you, and for what?
03

The build

We recommend the play, then we build it with you. Maybe that's a book we ghostwrite for you. Maybe it's a course on Skool. Maybe it's a landing page where people pay to ask you questions on HelloSkills. It depends on you.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Do I have to pay to be on the show?

No. Episodes are free, and we pick guests for their story. The levels are optional, and they only start after we record.

Do I need to be well-known?

No. A hitting coach with 30 loyal families has a business. If you have a story and people who trust you, we can build on it.

Who owns what we build?

You do. It's your story and your knowledge, and that's in writing, including on revenue-share deals.

I'm a college athlete. What about NIL?

Rules vary by state and school, and many athletes have to disclose deals. We'll ask you to clear things with your compliance office before anything launches. We're not agents.

I'm not a writer or a tech person.

Good, that's our job. You talk, and we write, record, and build.

Your story's worth telling.
