He had just joined Podbean in December 2022 as SVP of Content and Partnerships, coming on board after notable tenures at big-name podcast companies Libsyn and Spreaker.
Now, Rob Greenlee is preparing for his next opportunity.
In an interview with Streamline Publishing’s Podcast Business Journal, Greenlee exited the podcast hosting company because, he said, “I prefer to be a trusted and unbiased consultant of sorts towards the best solution for content creators of all the available options. I am looking for shows and creators I can help make the best choices for them.”
He added, “The change is driven by my desire to focus on being a content creator again and helping other media creators to get started, promote/grow and potentially monetize their shows regardless of the platform they host on. For me to be a trusted partner I need to be seen as unbiased in my view on distribution and monetization tools. Over my last 3 roles I have been put in a position of directing people to a particular hosting platform that may or may not been the correct decision.”
What’s next for Greenlee? He says he’s starting a new podcast network consulting business called Spoken Life Media LLC and has shared that he’s the Co-Founder/Partner at PodcastEZ.com
