About you: You are generous, warm, creative, heart-centered, and strategic. As much as you love efficiency and geeking out on systems and software, you blend this seamlessly with equal parts vision, taste, and people-skills. You are looking for a flexible, part-time role that fits into your current life and work set-up, and are committed to at least one year to help launch this show, grow the audience, and refine our systems.
About the show: Free Time is a new podcast for business owners running delightfully tiny teams who want to redefine how, when, and why we work. It's a show for those who aim for freedom and flexibility while still making a significant impact. How we work—with integrity, presence, and peace—is as important as the results, in fact it's baked into the DNA of the products (and therefore their business outcomes). One of our driving questions: How can we earn twice as much in half the time, with ease and joy, while serving the highest good? In conversation with fellow authors, business owners, and creatives, this podcast is radically reimagining work and business "shoulds" — questioning the structures and norms of the factory-based system we've been trained to operate in. At Free Time, "Every day is Saturday" — and everything is up for grabs, with plenty of practical solutions and smart systems shared along the way.
About the role:
We’re looking for a Senior Producer who loves these topics, and is passionate about our mission and bringing this show to life. You'll serve as a thought-partner and sounding board for the show's creative direction, and lead production of a twice weekly podcast with a blend of solo episodes and interviews. You'll help innovate the format and come up with catchy, creative segments that listeners will benefit greatly from (so much that they leap to send the episode to a friend), and help create a show that people can't wait to come back to. You'll help A/B test various advertising methods (and organic placements) to see what grows the show among our ideal audience, and help think through monetization strategies once the audience reaches the appropriate size. If you're right for this role, you're a hands-on, deadline-driven producer who can confidently drive weekly show production, while working to push creative boundaries and continue evolving the show's sound over the long term.
About the host, Jenny Blake:
Jenny Blake is a heart-based business owner who runs a delightfully tiny team. No one works full time, including her. In fact, she's on a mission to redefine what "full-time" means in the first place by aiming for 10 to 30 sane, sustainable hours each week. Jenny is the author two books. Her most recent, Pivot: The Only Move That Matters is Your Next One, won the Axiom Best Business Books award in the careers category. After 5 years at Google in coaching, training, and career development, Jenny pivoted to running her own business in New York City in 2011, and celebrates a decade of solo+preneurship in March 2021. In 2015 she launched the Pivot Podcast, which CNBC listed among 6 podcasts to make you smarter about your career, Entrepreneur selected as one of the top 20 female-hosted business podcasts, and Parade named among 25 Motivating Podcasts to Transform Your Morning Commute. Now, with 5+ years and 250+ episodes under her belt, Jenny is launching a new show in parallel that she is excited to "go pro" on from the outset. That's where you come in!
