Who listens

Financial advisors, RIA founders, wealth managers, institutional allocators, and macro strategists. It is a practitioner audience, which is why guests tend to skip the pitch and get to the argument.

That audience is also the demand side of the Lead-Lag Media® network, so a podcast appearance is rarely a standalone event. It feeds the newsletters, the clips, and the advisor conversations that follow.

Come on as a guest

We book portfolio managers, economists, strategists, and authors with a real argument to make. Guest slots are editorial and are not for sale.
