Under Broadcasted

Convia Studio, AJ Bubb

You've done the work. Your reach hasn't caught up. Underbroadcasted is a show for founders, consultants, and subject matter experts who are excellent at what they do and largely invisible outside their own network. Not because the work isn't good. Because nobody ever taught them the other part. Every two weeks, host AJ Bubb sits down with practitioners who understand the thing most experts skip: storytelling, personal branding, audience building, content strategy, and how to end up on the shortlist when someone finally has budget.
