Black Friday is usually about TVs, shoes, and impulse buys… but for CEOs, founders, and experts who have wanted to start a podcast but keep pushing it to “when things slow down,” this season is actually something else.

And for the first time ever, Graystoke Networks is offering Black Friday momentum pricing for new podcast clients.

But before we get into the offers, let’s talk about why this matters now.

Listen to the amazing conversations Natasha Nuytten, host of Human Side Up, had with Alexa Starks, CEO and Founder of Executive Moms, and Russell Kern, CEO and Founder of Kern and Partners.

Podcasting isn't just a content strategy anymore — it’s networking

This year, more CEOs have quietly adopted podcasting as their primary channel for:

expanding their networks
warming up high-value relationships
building brand trust
and creating long-tail influence

Podcast conversations open doors that cold emails never do. A CEO who joins you for an episode becomes a warm connection for life. And unlike social media, a podcast builds compounding credibility month after month.

Black Friday just gives you a reason to finally start.

The deals (and why we designed them this way)

We created these offers around one idea: six months is the magic window where a podcast starts creating real momentum.

1️⃣ Start Your Podcast — we book CEO guests for you

35% off for 6 months

Because this package is the highest-impact one we offer, we built the deepest discount around it.

If you’ve been wanting:

Top-tier guests
New introductions
Consistent production
Content that elevates your or your company’s brand
And a show that grows your influence

Most clients save between $9k and $33k over the six-month window.

2️⃣ Start Your Podcast — you book your guests

25% off for 6 months

Perfect for founders who already have a strong network or enjoy doing their own guest outreach. You book the conversations — we handle the heavy lifting and production.

Savings range from $3,300 to $12,000.

3️⃣ Enhance Your Podcast — add-ons

15% off for 6 months

If you already have a podcast or want to give your soon-to-launch show a boost, this includes:

A polished monthly newsletter
Extra styled clips
Small upgrades that make your show look sharper and feel more professional

Simple upgrades, meaningful impact.

Brandon Ansley, host of Boundary Breakers, chatted with Svanika Balasubramanian, CEO of rePurpose Global, about recycling and how the way we’re doing it doesn’t really work.

Why we’re doing this

We know starting a podcast is one of those decisions that sits on a mental “later” shelf. Black Friday gives people permission to finally pull the trigger and once the first episode drops, everything will change.
