Reach a Real Audience
You're not talking into a void. With 20k+ followers across our channels, Better Together reaches business owners and decision-makers who are genuinely looking for insight, the kind of audience that turns into inbound interest, not just a vanity download count.
Position Yourself as the Expert You Are
A podcast feature is one of the fastest ways to build credibility. Your episode becomes a piece of content you can point to for years, on your website, in your email signature, in a proposal - proof that you know what you're talking about.
Amplify Your Message
Every guest leaves with a full clip package for social, a shareable episode link, and a conversation they can point to when someone asks, "why should I work with you?"
Meet Shawn and Kelly Sundsvold.
Co-Owners of GoldBear Media & Hosts of the Better Together Podcast
Shawn and Kelly Sundsvold co-own GoldBear Media, where they’ve spent years helping business owners turn scattered marketing efforts into real, connected strategy. Better Together grew out of the same belief that drives their work with clients: that businesses grow faster when they stop guessing and start learning from people who’ve actually been in the trenches.
As co-hosts, Shawn and Kelly bring the same approach to every episode that they bring to every client relationship – curious, direct, and genuinely invested in getting past the surface-level answer. Two perspectives, one conversation, and a guest who gets to be the focus of both of them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this podcast for?
Better Together features business owners, coaches, consultants, and leaders with a real story to share – not a sales pitch. If you’ve built something, learned something, or led through something worth talking about, you’re who we’re looking for.
What happens after I apply?
We review every application personally. If it looks like a good fit, we’ll follow up to schedule a quick pre-interview call, then get your recording date on the calendar.
Is there any cost to be a guest?
No. Being featured on Better Together is free.
How long does the recording take?
Plan on about 30-45 minutes for the conversation itself, recorded remotely – no travel required.
What makes this podcast different?
We’re not chasing soundbites. Every episode is a real, unscripted conversation. We’d rather go deep on one or two things that matter than skim the surface of ten.
Do I need any equipment or experience?
No. We’ll send you everything you need to know ahead of time, and we handle all the editing, so you can just show up and talk.
