  • From Couch Surfing to CEO: How Matt Nance Bet on Himself and Built Something Bigger
    Jan 5 2026

    Most people ease their way into entrepreneurship.

    Matt Nance got thrown into it headfirst.

    Ten months of couch-surfing.

    Seven months waiting for a job that kept not opening.

    A full year crushing quotas and carrying a territory on his back.

    And then the pivotal moment:

    Realizing he was becoming the kind of person he never planned to be —

    exhausted, boxed in, and building a ladder that didn’t belong to him.

    That’s where Summit Strategies Group was born.

    Not in a boardroom.

    On a couch.

    In a season of misalignment so loud he couldn’t ignore it anymore.

    In this episode, Matt and I pull the curtain back on what actually creates a founder:

    Not inspiration.

    Not a perfect idea.

    But the moment frustration turns into clarity —

    and clarity turns into action.

    🔥 What We Dive Into

    • The identity snap that pushes you out of a “dream job”

    When doing everything “right” still feels wrong — and why ignoring that feeling is the real risk.

    • Why entrepreneurship isn’t a plan — it’s a decision

    The moment you stop outsourcing your dreams and start backing your own.

    • Human-centric AI that actually moves a business forward

    Matt breaks down how Summit Strategies helps service businesses adopt AI without blowing up their workflows.

    • Missed opportunities = silent revenue leaks

    The inbound AI voice agent system that multiplies revenue simply by answering the phone.

    • Sales without desperation

    How to get clients wanting you — without pressure, gimmicks, or commission breath.

    • Walking away from misaligned clients

    Why protecting your peace is part of protecting your profits.

    • The Alignment Factor

    How clarity, faith, and internal alignment became Matt’s compass — and why your external life can’t shift until the internal one does.

  • The Content System Coaches Are Missing with Aleksandar Dimitrov
    Dec 30 2025

    Most creators collapse when it comes to building frameworks, and that’s exactly why Aleksandar from Amused is with us today.

    In this episode, Andrew sits down with Aleksandar Dimitrov, founder of Amused, to break down the systems, structures, and strategic thinking that allow coaches and creators to scale their content without burning out.

    Aleksandar specializes in helping experts turn scattered ideas into clear frameworks, strong messaging, and repeatable workflows that convert. Together, they explore:

    • Why frameworks—not posting volume—separate growth from exhaustion

    Creators often try to solve content problems by posting more. Aleksandar explains why the real leverage is structure, not frequency.

    • How to build content that grows your audience vs. content that grows your business


    Most people blend these together and stall. Aleksandar shows how to separate them and finally get results.

    • How to stand out on a platform full of generic LinkedIn content

    Aleksandar reveals how he pulls a client’s actual voice from sales calls, stories, and lived experience—so their content finally feels human.

    • Why long-form content—especially podcasts—accelerates trust

    Andrew and Aleksandar dig into why voice, tone, and presence build authority faster than any carousel or “10 tips” post.

    • Outreach that works in 2025

    The biggest competitor isn’t another creator—it’s prospects doing nothing. They discuss rapport-building, messaging, and personalizing outreach that actually lands.

    This episode is essential for coaches, consultants, and creators who want a real content engine—one rooted in frameworks, clarity, and strategic execution.

  • The Hidden Skill Behind Great Podcasts: Project Management with Trevor Greenberg
    Dec 15 2025

    In this episode, Andrew Berger (founder of PodClimb) sits down with Trevor Greenberg to unpack the real mechanics behind project management for podcast creators — and why successful shows rely on more than great ideas alone.

    Together, they break down how clear communication, structured workflows, and repeatable systems shape everything from podcast production to long-form content strategy. Trevor shares how principles from Agile and Waterfall project-management methodologies translate directly into podcasting: setting expectations, reducing assumptions, and keeping creative teams aligned.

    The conversation also explores:

    How project management improves podcast consistency and quality


    Why creators struggle with originality — and how to simplify complex ideas for your audience


    What authenticity really means in content creation (beyond chasing virality)


    The impact of awards and external validation in film, music, and podcasting


    The changing landscape of creative work as AI becomes a bigger influence


    Trevor emphasizes that great project managers aren’t “doers” — they’re facilitators who remove friction so creators can focus on what they do best. Andrew connects this directly to the PodClimb philosophy: building repeatable, scalable podcast systems that allow founders, coaches, and creators to show up effortlessly on camera or mic.


    Whether you're building a content engine, managing a production team, or trying to get more consistent with your podcast, this episode offers a grounded look at how operations and creativity intersect — and why mastering both is the key to sustainable growth.
