Scrappy ABM host Mason Cosby sits down with Joseph Lewin, Head of Podcast Strategy at Scrappy ABM, for a tactical breakdown of launching a revenue-generating show in just 30 days. If you’ve ever stalled on getting a podcast off the ground—or struggled to prove its value—this episode delivers an exact playbook.

Joseph Lewin shares why podcasting is the most effective networking and sales tool that’s hiding in plain sight. By focusing on speed-to-launch, identifying high-value guests, and using cold outreach that actually converts, Joseph has completely reshaped how Scrappy ABM gets client shows into market. You’ll learn how a 30-day soft-to-hard launch framework accelerates time-to-value—and why skipping the overthinking phase matters more than your gear or perfect positioning.

Mason and Joseph walk through who to invite first, why live shows create momentum, and how post-recording green room chats turn ghosted leads into six-figure deals. If you want to build real relationships with the right people—and do it in a scrappy, scalable way—this episode shows you how.
