Episode Summary

In this high-voltage episode of Business Owners Tell All: What It Takes, host Jamie Seeker chops it up with Bryce North, founder and CEO of Don’t Be A Little Pitch. This isn’t just a chat... it’s a blueprint for founders who want to be loud, credible, and unforgettable.

Broadcasting from Manila with global reach, Bryce breaks down how he turned scrappy startups into media magnets. Think $600K raised through crowdfunding, 40+ countries scaled, and deals inked on Dragons' Den. It all comes down to one superpower: storytelling that slaps.

If you’re tired of being overlooked and underestimated, this episode shows you how to flip the script... and finally get seen.

Tips & Advice

Here’s what Bryce dropped for founders who want media coverage without million-dollar budgets:

  1. Storytelling Is a Strategy, Not an Accessory - You don’t need fluff. You need focus. Every story you tell should reinforce your core message... or don’t bother telling it.
  2. If It Doesn’t Hit, It Doesn’t Stick - Bryce’s rule: If your brand doesn’t cause a reaction, it’s invisible. Bold brands aren’t risky... they’re required.
  3. Media Doesn’t Care About Your Product - They care about why it matters. If you can’t say what you do in a tweet, don’t pitch it.
  4. PR on a Budget Isn’t Dead - Personalized pitches, sharp timing, relevance. That’s the winning trifecta. No agency needed.
  5. Dragons’ Den Was Just the Beginning - Exposure is the spark... leverage is the fire. Bryce turned one TV moment into long-term brand equity.

Episode Highlights

Let’s get into the standout moments that made this interview a masterclass:

  • The Manila-Global PR Powerhouse
    Bryce explains why he planted roots in Southeast Asia... and how that turned into a global empire.
  • Founders, You’re Either Seen or Forgotten
    Want media without money? Be memorable. Bryce shows you how to turn your founder story into a press magnet.
  • The Message > The Medium
    Forget chasing Forbes for ego. If your story isn’t tight, the platform won’t matter. Bryce gives you the formula.
  • Bold Branding as a Trust Signal
    The name Don’t Be A Little Pitch does more than grab attention... it filters the right clients in and the wrong ones out.

Final Thoughts

This episode isn’t theory. It’s a tactical guide to building visibility without watering down your voice.

If you’ve been quiet, this is your permission to get loud. If you’ve been playing small, this is your moment to punch above your weight.

You don’t need to be perfect. You need something real. And real moves people.
