Percentile among shows you could realistically get on. Not a download count.
Check whether they charge. Some shows sell guest slots rather than booking them, and rates in some fields run to thousands. Nothing in a podcast feed reliably says so, so we do not claim either way. Ask before you write the pitch.
Worth a pitch. This show publishes its own contact, sits outside the national chart, is independently published, and its recent episodes show it books guests.

How this show compares to other other podcasts

What the show says about itself

The 5% Podcast Most people quit. They quit when it's hard. They quit when nobody is watching. They quit when comfort becomes easier than growth. The 5% aren't the strongest, smartest, or luckiest. They're the people who keep showing up. Hosted by Mike Norris, The 5% Podcast explores leadership, resilience, and human performance through conversations with firefighters, veterans, athletes, entrepreneurs, and everyday people pursuing excellence. Leadership. Mindset. Performance. Because excellence isn't an accident. It's a choice made every day by the 5%.
