A different kind of platform

Sip & Speak is not a promotional platform. It is a conversation platform.

The leaders who get the most from a Sip & Speak appearance are the ones willing to speak honestly. Not just about success, but about what tested them. The conversations that land are the ones that cost something to share.

Sip & Speak Podcast
The Show

Sip & Speak. The international leadership podcast.

Long-form conversations with leaders, founders, and experts. Hosted by Samantha J. Best. Distributed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube. Your episode lives inside a curated season of guests, not as a standalone post.

What every featured guest receives

One conversation. Eight permanent assets.

An Executive Visibility Partnership is not a podcast appearance. It is a produced content package designed so that a single conversation generates authority-building material that works for you long after the recording date.

01

A produced 30 to 45 minute episode

Recorded remotely on a professional platform, then edited and sound-mixed for release. Published as a full-length feature episode under your name and your subject expertise.

02

A feature page on samanthajbest.com

Your own URL on the Sip & Speak website. Your name, your bio, your cover art, your socials, your strongest quote. Live indefinitely. Search-indexed under your name. The kind of page you can paste into any email signature.

  • You are early in your career without substantive experience to draw from yet.

Common Questions

Before you apply

How is the conversation structured?

It is a long-form interview, not a scripted Q&A. Samantha sends you the themes in advance so you can think about them, but the conversation flows naturally on the day. You will be in safe hands. She has spent two decades interviewing leaders, broadcasters, and dignitaries on live television.

Where do you record?

Remotely via a professional recording platform. You will receive setup instructions and a tech check before the day.

How long until the episode goes live?

Three to four weeks from recording date, typically. We coordinate the publication day with your calendar so you can amplify on the right week for your audience.

What if I’m not selected?

If your application isn’t the right fit for this season, you will hear back within five business days with a direct answer and, where appropriate, suggestions on when to reapply.
