Quietly Disruptive

Outreach for founders who hate outreach


Listen Later

If the word outreach makes you flinch or you've been avoiding it because it feels pushy, salesy, or like you'd have to become someone you're not to do it, this episode might change how you think about it entirely.

Outreach doesn't have to look like the spammy LinkedIn message that arrives 30 seconds after a connection is accepted. There is another way.

In this episode, I share something that happened this week that shows exactly what outreach looks like when it's done with curiosity and patience rather than pressure, and why the results of that approach sometimes take months to show up but when they do, they're worth every moment of the wait.

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • Why content and outreach are two arms of the same thing and why most founders are only using one
  • What curious outreach actually looks and feels like in practice, and why the people on the receiving end are genuinely glad to hear from you
  • The most common reason outreach fails, and it's got nothing to do with the platform, the message, or the volume
  • And why separating the method from the reputation changes everything

The big takeaway? When you swap the pitch for curiosity and the pressure for patience, outreach stops being the thing you dread and starts being the thing that actually builds your business.

Until next time, stay Quietly Disruptive.
