LOS ANGELES - s4story -- Lead Empowered, a leadership development and media company founded by Nathan R. Mitchell, has announced the launch of Speak Empowered, a new podcast guest representation service designed to connect experienced professionals and thought leaders with podcast opportunities.

The launch builds upon Mitchell's growing presence in digital media as host of Lead Empowered TV, an interview-based leadership program featuring conversations with business leaders, authors, entrepreneurs, coaches and other experts. Since its launch, Lead Empowered TV has grown to more than 25,000 YouTube subscribers and 223,000 views, while averaging more than 6,100 monthly viewers on e360TV.

That growth has given Mitchell a firsthand perspective on both sides of the microphone - building an audience as a host while identifying and interviewing guests capable of delivering valuable conversations.

"Hosting LETV has introduced me to some incredibly talented people with expertise and stories that deserve a much larger audience," said Mitchell. "At the same time, I've realized how difficult and time-consuming it can be for those experts to consistently identify the right podcasts and effectively position themselves as guests. Speak Empowered was created to help bridge that gap."

Helping Experts Get Featured

Speak Empowered provides podcast guest representation for coaches, consultants, authors, speakers, executives, entrepreneurs and other subject-matter experts who want to increase their visibility through podcast appearances.

Rather than simply providing clients with lists of podcasts to contact, Speak Empowered works to identify relevant opportunities and personally pitch represented experts to podcast hosts.

The service centers around three objectives: Get Featured. Share Your Expertise. Grow Your Influence.

Mitchell believes podcast guesting offers professionals something traditional advertising often cannot: the opportunity to demonstrate expertise through meaningful, long-form conversations.

"A great podcast interview isn't simply exposure," Mitchell said. "It gives someone the opportunity to demonstrate how they think, communicate what they believe and provide genuine value to an entirely new audience. Done consistently, those conversations can build credibility, relationships and opportunities."

Mitchell launched Lead Empowered TV as an extension of his work through Lead Empowered LLC. The program focuses on conversations designed to transform how people lead, work and live.

The experience of growing the platform and evaluating potential guests helped inspire Speak Empowered.

"As a host, I receive pitches from people who want to appear on the show," Mitchell said. "I understand what catches a host's attention - and what doesn't. Speak Empowered allows me to take that experience and use it to help other experts get behind more microphones."

Speak Empowered is currently accepting applications for representation.
