Co-Founder and CAIO, PodcastNetwork.org - Mike Partners

Mike came to PodcastNetwork.org from the operator side. Before co-founding the company with Brett, he spent years building and running systems across multiple businesses. Not marketing systems. Operational ones. The kind that move data between tools, trigger sequences without human babysitting, and keep a small team punching above its weight. That background shaped everything about how PodcastNetwork.org actually works under the hood.

When Brett and Mike started PodcastNetwork.org in 2024, Mike took the CAIO role because the company needed someone who could build the machine. Running a network takes a stack of interconnected systems: outreach engineering, guest and booking pipelines, structured data workflows, and the multi-LLM orchestration that ties all of it together. Mike designed and built that stack.

Mike is also the operational anchor across Brett's joint companies. He runs the AI tooling and outreach surface across Create Church Media, PodcastNetwork.org, and AI Expert. That cross-company view means every improvement Mike makes to one system ripples across all of them. A faster outreach sequence built for one show becomes the default for the next one.

Mike is also a published author. He wrote The Book on How to Write a Book and co-authored AI or Die with Brett.

Mike operates from a simple principle: if the system cannot run without constant human intervention, the system is not done yet. Every workflow at PodcastNetwork.org is built to that standard. Airtable systems, GHL automation, multi-LLM operations, cold outreach engineering. All of it is designed to move faster than any traditional agency staffing model could support.
