All you need to know

Be a Guest on Revenue Remix

Right-sized insights for operators who built it with real grit.

 

Revenue Remix features founders navigating $2M-$30M ARR, senior GTM leaders, and fractional executives who work with growth-stage companies daily. We curate for relevance, not pedigree—featuring operators who remember what it's like to solve problems creatively, even if they have resources now.

Featured on Feedspot's Top Revenue Podcasts 2025, we reach growth-stage CEOs, GTM leaders, and operators who actually act on what they hear.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

FOUNDERS SCALING $2M-$30M ARR

You're navigating inflection points where your old playbook stops working:

  • Your $5M system won't get you to $10M

  • Your $10M playbook won't scale to $30M

  • Founder-led sales stops working

  • Departmental infighting emerges (sales blames marketing, CS cleans up messes)

You built it with real constraints, even if you have resources now.

SENIOR LEADERS & FRACTIONAL EXECUTIVES

VPs of Sales, Marketing, CS. Fractional CMOs and CROs.

You work with growth-stage companies daily. You see patterns across portfolios. You're building alongside founders, not theorizing from the sidelines.

GTM TOOL FOUNDERS

Building tools that solve real GTM challenges? We'll discuss the PROBLEM you're solving, why it matters, and your growth journey. Not a product pitch.

Why appear on the show

  • Reach a curated audience of growth-stage B2B founders, revenue leaders, and operators who prioritize execution over theory.

  • Get a meaningful long-form conversation — not a promo spot. We ask questions other podcasts skip. Veterans say "I've never been asked that before." First-timers say "You made me feel safe."

  • Receive assets you can use: Video clips, quote cards, pre-written social copy, and episode graphic. VIP guests who reciprocate also receive full press kits (blog drafts, email copy, multiple posts).

  • Build long-term relationships. Guests who treat this as the start of a collaboration (not a PR checkbox) often turn into referral partners, co-marketing collaborators, or even clients,.

  • Topics from real conversations. Episode ideas come from patterns Summer sees while working with clients and collaborators. If one founder is wrestling with it, others are likely wondering too.

The guest experience (what actually happens)

We run like a tight, human production — efficient, low-pressure, high-value.

STEP 1: CHEMISTRY CALL (15-20 MINUTES)

Before we book, we have a quick conversation to make sure we're aligned.

 

We'll ask about:

  • The specific challenge you've solved that others are wrestling with

  • Your network (who else would be a great fit for the show?)

  • Your willingness to reciprocate (share, review, introduce)

 

This isn't an interrogation. It's a conversation to ensure mutual fit.

STEP 2: GUEST BRIEF

You'll receive a short prep document with interview questions so you can prep. No scripts, but light structure.

STEP 3: RECORDING (45-60 MINUTES)

We record video remotely. The final episode is 30 minutes +/-.

You don't need a studio: natural light, stable camera (laptop webcam is fine), and decent audio are enough. 

The conversation is real and authentic. No rigid scripts. No gotcha questions.

STEP 4: LAUNCH & ASSETS

Within 2-4 weeks, you'll receive:

  • Episode link (published across Spotify, Apple, YouTube, website, LinkedIn)

  • 1-2 short video clips for your own channels

  • Quote cards

  • Full press kit with pre-written social copy (easy to share)

 

VIP guests who reciprocate also receive:

  • Featured in "Best Of" compilations

  • Ongoing amplification opportunities

  • Invitations to exclusive panels and alumni events

STEP 5: PARTNERSHIP POTENTIAL

The guests who get the most value treat this as the start of a relationship, not a checkmark on their PR list.

We stay in touch. We refer business to each other. We collaborate on panels and co-marketing.

If you're building for the long game, this could be the start of something valuable.

 

What we’ll ask from you (low lift)

BEFORE RECORDING
  • Show up on time and ready to talk (we'll give prompts)

  • Test your video/audio setup 

AFTER LAUNCH
  • Share the episode once it's live (a LinkedIn post helps both of us)

  • Leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

  • Make warm introductions to other potential guests or operators who need consulting help

  • This reciprocity standard filters out takers and attracts partners. It's how we've built a show worth featuring on.

 

WHO WE DON'T FEATURE

We intentionally focus on specific types of operators. If you're not in this focus, there are great shows for you—this just isn't one of them.

  • Operators who only know how to scale with big budgets

  • Founders who started with advantages most people don't have

  • Theory-only consultants, people who have never worked in the trenches

  • Exposure-seekers doing the podcast circuit, people who won't collaborate or reciprocate

THREE EPISODE TYPES

FEATURED FOUNDERS

Deep dives with operators. 30-45 minutes. Solve specific GTM challenge or navigate inflection point.

Topics: Founder-led → systematic sales, departmental alignment, partnership strategy, customer success as revenue engine, hiring your first revenue leader, scaling with constraints.

GTM PANELS

2-3 revenue leaders discussing specific challenge. Multiple perspectives. Rich content remix opportunities.

Topics: AI in sales, GTM alignment, what's actually working NOW, when to hire CS team, partnership activation.

BONUS EPISODES

Solo insights from host Summer Poletti. Quick tactical advice. Deep dives on panel topics. 5-15 minutes.

RULES OF THE ROOM

Real insight > product pitch.

Bring ideas, stories, and the things that actually worked (and what didn't). We're here for lessons, not promotions.

Steal-able insights.

Every episode delivers frameworks listeners can try themselves. The strategic undercurrent: when DIY doesn't scale, they know where to turn.

No scripts, authentic conversation.

We send talking points or questions and conversation flow so we avoid drift. The best guests prep without writing scripted responses. Organic conversation is what the audience likes!

ABOUT THE HOST

Summer Poletti is a Fractional CRO who fixes entire revenue engines (sales + CS + partnerships + marketing), not just sales teams.

She works with B2B SaaS and fintech companies at $2M-$30M ARR navigating inflection points:

  • $5M → $10M: Founder-led sales → systematic revenue engine

  • $10M → $20M: Departmental silos → cross-functional GTM alignment

  • $20M → $30M: Scale without chaos → board-ready systems

 

Summer is a natural born storyteller and prolific podcast listener. She built Revenue Remix as the show she'd want to listen to—and the show she'd feel good guesting on. Episode topics come from real conversations she's having with clients and collaborators. Pattern recognition, not guessing.

WHAT GUESTS SAY

"I've done maybe 100 podcasts at this point and you asked me something I've never gotten before. That was refreshing."
— Veteran podcast guest

"I was so nervous before this, it was my first podcast ever. But with the advance prep and your encouragement, I actually felt comfortable once we started talking."
— First-time guest

"I'm so glad you brought up customer success! Every other show just wants to talk about sales and marketing."
— GTM leader featured on panel

"The Chemistry Call and prep was helpful. I knew exactly what we'd talk about before we even hit record. But it still felt like a real conversation, not like an interview."
— Founder, $4M ARR
