What guests say

Leaders who have sat in this chair.

  • Most interviews ask what we achieved. Steve asked how the system produced it — and I left with language for something I had never been able to explain to my own leadership team.
    Manufacturing ownerSeason 1 guest
  • Forty-five minutes, questions in advance, no promotion. It felt less like a podcast and more like a working session I would have paid for.
    Managing partner, professional servicesSeason 1 guest
  • Every nomination gets read. The ones that turn into episodes are almost always leaders who rebuilt something under pressure and can show the mechanics.

Discuss working with Compass

Before you submit

A few common questions about what we need, how long it takes, and where your information goes.

What details do you need for a strong nomination?

At minimum: the proposed guest’s name, their role and company, and a sentence or two on why their experience is worth studying. A LinkedIn profile and any previous speaking or podcast links help us move faster. You do not need to have contacted them first — we will reach out.

How long until I hear back?

Steve reviews every nomination personally, usually within five business days. If the story fits a Compass discipline you selected, we follow up to frame the conversation. Recording is a single 45-minute remote session, with questions shared in advance.

What happens to my submission in your system?

Your nomination is stored in our CRM as a contact record so Steve can track and follow up on it. We use your email only to reply about this nomination and the related episode — we will not add you to marketing lists or share your details with anyone else.
