be HEARD - Reserve list. Longest Interviewing Marathon for Founders
be HEARD. Reserve List
A world record attempt to interview 59 founders back to back lives or dies on one thing: everyone showing up.
Life happens. Business happens. Even with the best intentions, founders pull out at the last minute. When that happens during a 59-hour attempt with no gaps allowed, we need someone ready to go, and fast.
That's where you come in.
WHAT YOU'RE SIGNING UP FOR
You're joining a reserve list of Bristol-local founders. If a founder pulls out, at 6pm on a Friday or 3am on a Saturday, we call you. You're in the chair, your story gets heard and the attempt stays alive.
And it all supports Talk Club, a men's mental fitness charity. 25% of every paid booking goes straight to them.
THE DEAL
No cost. Reserve list slots are completely free, and if you replace someone, there is still no fee.
You get everything a paid founder gets if you're called in: a 1-hour interview, a standalone podcast episode on Founded & Grounded (top 2.5% globally, 3M+ downloads, ~90k monthly listeners), some short-form clips to repurpose, the lot.
You must be Bristol based: within 1 hr of Films at 59 and in the chair within 90 minutes of our call.
You must be reachable for the full 11-13 September window, phone on, ready to roll.
First come, first called. When we need a reserve, we call down the list in order.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
Your mobile.
A 60-second WhatsApp message so we know your story before we call.
The willingness to drop everything when we ring.
WHAT THIS MEANS
If you get called, you save the attempt. receive a briefing pack two weeks in advance
Without exaggeration, this list is the safety net for the entire campaign.
