Own Your Space. Stop Begging For Free Exposure.
You built a great software product. Stop waiting for organic mentions and start investing in dedicated, focused attention.
The only product podcast where you guarantee your spot, tell your founder story, and show exactly what your software can do.
The “Free Podcast” Trap
We all know how the so-called free podcasts work. You spend months pitching the host. You finally get a slot. You show up ready to talk about the tool you poured your life into.
Then the host spends the first ten minutes doing lengthy intros for every guest on the panel, chatting about the weather, and plugging their own sponsors. By the time you finally get to speak, the audience has already tuned out.
You do not own the space. You are just filler.
Do you really want to keep struggling to get your product out there for free? Or are you ready to actually own the conversation?
Pressing Forward is a project by
Andrew Palmer
&
Stephanie Hudson?
(Who the heck are they anyway)!
Andrew Palmer
Andrew has spent decades building businesses, launching platforms, and championing the open source community. From founding Elegant Marketplace to driving the development behind tools like Bertha AI, Layouts Cloud, and Gutenberg AI, he knows exactly what it takes to turn a brilliant idea into sustainable revenue. Having also led Hosting and Customer Success at Atarim.io, he understands the ecosystem from every possible angle.
Stephanie Hudson
Through her brand FocusWP, Stephanie helps agencies deliver better solutions through expert outsourcing — giving her vast, hands-on experience solving real-world problems with countless software products. She brings the ultimate agency-owner and end-user perspective, and knows how to run a show, having hosted Divi Chat, a highly successful product-specific podcast.
Having worked together extensively on the Web Agency Summit, Andrew and Stephanie bring an unmatched dynamic to the screen — knowing both sides of the software coin: building the tools, and using them in the trenches. They also know that relying on the goodwill of free media is a losing strategy for serious product owners. Pressing Forward exists to cut the fluff: total professionalism mixed with a real sense of fun, no rambling ten-minute intros, straight into the meat of your product — its core benefits, its distinct advantages, immediately.
And we won’t be kissing ass. We’ll still ask the tough questions: Is it really as good as you say? What’s the onboarding actually like? Is it intuitive enough for SMBs, or is this built for developers only? And we’ll give honest feedback throughout, why wouldn’t we?
A Real Commitment to Product Owners
Open source and independent software run on the hard work of passionate creators — but passion alone does not pay server bills. You need customers. Pressing Forward gives you a transparent, predictable platform to reach them. No fake neutrality. No begging for a brief guest slot.
When you pay an appearance fee, our goals align completely.
What You Get When You Invest
We do not just give you a microphone.
We build a high quality marketing asset for your brand.
The Founder’s Story
We dive into your background, the problems you faced, and why you built your tool. Humanize your brand and connect with your future users.
Deep Dive Tutorial
A dedicated screen-share segment where you walk the audience through your product’s best features and high-value use cases.
Live & Evergreen Reach
Streamed live via StreamYard to a targeted audience, then professionally edited into a permanent YouTube asset.
5% of Your MRR
Fair, transparent, and scaled to your success. We charge a flat 5% of your current or projected Monthly Recurring Revenue — capped at £2,500 per episode. Whether you’re an indie developer just launching or an established tool scaling up, the fee scales with your business.
No revenue or projections? Don’t worry — we are flexible.
In return, you get guaranteed exposure to a highly targeted audience and a professional video walkthrough you can embed on your site, use in your funnels, and share on social media — forever.
Publishing Channels & Audience Reach
Dedicated episode page with embedded video, show notes, and a direct link to your product.
Dedicated announcement email to our list covering who’s on the episode, why they built their product, what it does, when it airs — plus an exclusive discount code for subscribers to try the product themselves.
Andrew and Stephanie promote every episode through their own personal community standing and connections, extending reach well beyond the show’s own channels.
Guests are encouraged to announce their episode on their own site and mailing list, doubling exposure and driving their own audience straight into the conversation.
Stop Hoping for Exposure.
Secure It.
