The Founder Podcast Lab
The Founder Podcast Lab is a show for founders and business owners who already have a podcast and want it to do more for their business.
Each episode looks at how founders use podcasts to build trust, meet the right people, support sales, sharpen their ideas, and turn good conversations into real business assets over time.
Hosted by Kenneth Adams, the show explores the strategy behind founder-led podcasts, what makes them work, what slows them down, and how consistent conversations can create leverage beyond the episode itself.

Why Your Podcast Gets Views But No Clients - The "Found vs. Chosen" Gap
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You can be found and still not get chosen. That's the gap most founder podcasters never close.
Attorney and licensed mental health professional Andrew E. Colsky — founder of Sleep Science Today and creator of Be-Picked / CredGen — joins the show to explain why visibility doesn't equal clients, and what actually makes someone decide to hire you (sometimes before you've ever spoken).
We talk about the trust signals that make a listener feel understood, how AI search is already deciding who gets the call, why trying to be the expert at everything can quietly weaken your authority, and why a handful of the right viewers beats a viral video full of the wrong ones. If your podcast looks healthy but isn't producing business, the fix usually isn't better gear — it's a clearer strategy.
What you'll learn:
- Why credentials get you considered, not chosen
- How to speak to your audience instead of at them
- Getting picked through AI search before the first conversation
- Why specificity beats versatility when buyers compare you
- "Thirsty horses": building a pull business instead of a push one
- Measuring the right audience instead of the biggest one
