What if your next podcast episode closed a $500K deal?

In this inaugural episode of The Content Crowd, host Trevor Grimes sits down with Joseph Lewin, Head of Podcast Strategy at Scrappy ABM, to talk about why creating content with people you want to know is the fastest way to meaningful results.

Joseph breaks down the mindset shift that changed everything: stop chasing audience growth and start building real relationships—with future clients, partners, collaborators, even employers. From account-based podcasting to low-lift live shows, he shares the strategies that helped clients close over $2M in deals through conversation-first content.

If you’ve been stuck thinking your show needs a massive following to be valuable, this one’s your permission slip to go live, go scrappy, and start building something real—one guest at a time.
