About this idea
We’re producing a limited series of 14 to 20 cinematic, soul-stirring podcast episodes in a concentrated sprint format. Filmed in Kalamazoo, the GET SEEN Podcast brings together visionaries, creatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders from all over. Some known, some underground. All deeply called to be fully seen. This is about creating visibility that transforms lives, businesses, and communities. The sprint format means we’re filming all episodes over a 10-day window, leveraging travel, location, and production costs to maximize content output and visibility. We’ve secured a venue (Wellsprings Studio), high-level production teams, and are building partnerships with local businesses and creatives to make this an economic and cultural win. What makes this juicy? Guests walk away with more than a podcast episode. They receive branded reels, high-end photography, and promotional materials. We’re creating media kits, building out content ecosystems, and strategically cross-promoting through influencer and community networks. It’s media that breathes impact. Built for scalability. Designed to serve both story and strategy. And the kicker? We're doing it with intentionality, cultural awareness, and a fierce devotion to amplifying voices that are often unseen.
Impact
GET SEEN is more than a podcast. It’s an economic and cultural catalyst. By filming 14 to 20 episodes in a short sprint, we create high-volume, high-quality content that amplifies the voices of purpose-driven leaders. The ripple effect is layered: guests gain national visibility, local businesses benefit from strategic exposure, and the city of Kalamazoo becomes a media hub, attracting attention, tourism, and opportunity. Each guest receives branded content they can repurpose, boosting their brand and reach. Local creatives are hired, featured, and promoted. Sponsors and investors gain evergreen exposure across platforms. And our agency continues building a scalable model that can be duplicated in other markets. The impact is immediate and long term: visibility, collaboration, community activation, and economic growth, all rooted in storytelling that matters.
What I'll do with $5,000
$5,000 will fund essential permanent equipment such as lighting, audio, and stabilization tools that allow us to move beyond a one-time sprint and into ongoing, scalable production. This investment ensures GET SEEN becomes more than a 14 to 20 episode showcase. It becomes a media engine, a creative hub, and a lasting platform that continues serving the community, elevating voices, and generating economic activity for years to come.
