Let me be honest with you.
For years, I’ve had people ask me questions about my job:
“How do you do it?”
How do you build a show every day…
How do you find topics that engage…
How do you interview at a high level…
How do you sound like you belong on the air?
And for years, I’ve done my best to offer advice.
But I’ve never had the chance to lay the whole thing out.
Until now.
Introducing: Show Pony University
This is a 4-week live cohort where I teach you—directly—how to host, build, and grow a sports radio show or podcast the right way.
Not theory.
Real reps. Real structure. Real experience.
This is the same process I’ve used for over 20 years on SiriusXM…
The same approach that’s built Full Ride into a show listened to by fans, coaches, and athletic directors across the country.

Q&A at the end of every session

Final Thought
I wish something like this existed when I was starting.
It didn’t.
So I’m building it.
Let’s get to work.
