Idea Climbing® is my methodology and book for building transformative relationships that are the result of 22 years of interviews with happy, successful people.
If you want to level up your marketing and boost your brand presence as a B2B thought leader or for your B2B membership organization for thought leaders, Idea Climbing could be for you.
From video interviews sharing your passion, purpose, and story to immersive events, mastermind experiences and a few things in between there are many opportunities for collaboration.

Sizzle Reels
Boost Your Brand and Book More Business!
Sizzle Reels are short form videos to help you book more clients.
The interview format brings out your natural energy and charisma which gets people to engage with you.
That being said…
Do you need short form videos for your website and marketing initiatives but don’t want to write, memorize and recite scripts into a camera alone? Enter Sizzle Reels!
I’ll interview you in a state of the art online studio. We’ll have some fun.
We’ll amplify your message and get you the recognition you deserve and the business development results you that you crave.
You’ll get five videos (an 8 Unedited Minutes® interview, two 90-second Sizzle Reels and two 30-second Promo Reels) that will increase your conversion rates and level up your marketing outreach while boosting your brand awareness.
All in less than an hour and without scripts.
It’s time to turn those passive lurkers on LinkedIn and your website into engaged prospects.
When it comes to video services I’m a little (or a lot) different.
With 25+ years experience interviewing successful people and 200+ podcasts, radio shows, and other published interviews under my belt, I’m a professional interviewer first.
I love when people tell me how easy, painless, and comfortable their experience was. It’s my job to make you look good, showcase your genius, create a relaxed interview environment and have some fun and laughs along the way.
There are a lot of people that can edit videos; my decades of experience as an interviewer is an entirely different situation, mindset, and skillset.
I do the interviews, my editor produces high quality finished videos from the interviews.

Idea Climbing® Experiences: Immersive Live Interviews & Masterminds
Amplify Your Audience Engagement!
This isn’t your grandfather’s event experience.
You can expect an event that will put people together in the most profound environment where they have the greatest opportunity to learn and build deep, pivotal relationships.
This is where new friends meet, and business gets done.
Picture a lively chat on stage where both myself and a guest dive deep into an industry specific topic, but with a twist: the audience is part of the conversation. They can pitch in with their own questions and ideas, making the discussion more relevant and exciting.
Instead of a presentation at the audience it’s a conversation with the audience.
The Benefits of Showcasing Experts Through Live Interviews
With the interview format you can get to know traditional speakers in a new light that you don’t usually see. You can also dramatically expand your opportunities for industry specific guest experts. Many people with locked up genius that will never give a speech will gladly be interviewed on stage.
Imagine the potential!
Results You Can Expect:
- Tailored Experience: Together, we will choose the ideal guest(s) for the interview(s), ensuring relevance to your event’s theme and industry specific discussions with your audience.
- Interactive Engagement: With a live conversation format, audiences become active participants, not just passive listeners.
- Expertise at Play: Leverage my 25+ years of experience interviewing successful people combined with on-the-spot improv skills for authentic, fun, and insightful discussions.
- Action Oriented Mastermind Experiences: Attendees will “mastermind” an action plan for putting what they heard on stage into a strategy they can start implementing the next day.
- Meaningful Relationship Sparks: Foster genuine conversations and connections among your attendees, enhancing their overall event experience that they’ll love you for providing.
An Idea Climbing Experience isn’t just an event; it’s an investment in delivering an unforgettable, high-value, high energy experience for your audience.
Momentum Experience

Summit Experience
- Four-hour experience: 30 minutes for registration. Two 45-minute Live, Immersive Interview Experiences, with a 15-minute mastermind experience after each one, based on the interview topic to create action plans your attendees can start using the next day.

Both experiences include a 45-minute Zoom client follow up session and a 45-minute Zoom attendee recap session to further solidify continued results after the event.
The 90-Day Idea Climbing® Referral Marketing Accelerator Program
Leverage Your Network to Get More Qualified Referrals in Less Time
This is a program for individual B2B coaches, consultants, and speakers and B2B membership organizations and associations with members who are coaches, consultants, and speakers.
Finding quality referral partners can be a long, tedious process. This program is a fast paced, 90-day accelerator to immediately and exponentially boost your network of referral partners.
Every week people in your world are meeting new clients, new referral partners, and new opportunities. BUT without a structured referral system, your name is simply not in those rooms and your business isn’t growing.
Your accelerator program gives you a simple, repeatable system for turning conversations into opportunities.
Problems it Solves
- Random, unpredictable referrals
- Awkward or ineffective asking for introductions
- A big network that isn’t producing business
- Time-wasting, shallow networking
- Chasing leads instead of getting warm introductions
Benefits you get
- A simple, repeatable referral system
- A circle of referral partners who actively promote you
- Meaningful, revenue-generating conversations
- Positioning as the connector in your industry
- A steady flow of warm, trust-based opportunities
Why NOW?
Your network is active today and the truth is simple: Referrals don’t come from waiting. They come from showing up intentionally in the right rooms with the right people. That’s what you will experience during your or your membership’s 90-day accelerator. Not someday. Not “when things slow down.”
Now. While your network is alive, moving, and making decisions.
“If you need the motivation and plan to turn your ideas into action, Idea Climbing is for you. Balanced with success stories and steps you can take to build out your skill set, network and action plan, Idea Climbing is an enjoyable and valuable read.”
