The one-liner
A Circle community paired with a weekly podcast, giving founders practical strategies, courses and AI tools.
What they actually sell
Entrepreneur Bootcamp, run by Derek Schmidt, lives on Circle. Its public pitch: "A podcast and community delivering practical business strategies and peer support." Membership costs $50 a month or $540 a year. Derek Schmidt pairs weekly podcast episodes on successes, failures and step-by-step guidance with a community layer. Members get on-demand digital marketing courses, AI-driven tools, monthly live webinars, peer-review forums and a growing library of templates and guides. Quarterly and six-monthly plans appear alongside the monthly and yearly ones.
Who pays and why
Founders and small business owners who want proven tactics from people who have been there. They want to avoid costly mistakes while scaling. They pay for weekly podcast episodes, monthly live webinars, courses and AI tools.
Where the members come from
The Entrepreneur Bootcamp podcast is the main feeder, so the community is the back end of an existing show. Circle discovery helps too. Derek also founded the DesignLoud web agency in Wilmington, so agency clients and local business contacts are likely feeders too.
What's holding it back
A general business focus competes with many free podcasts and communities, and the page names few distinctive outcomes. It is aimed at both aspiring and established founders, which is a wide spread for one forum.
Steal this
Turn each podcast episode into a community discussion, so listeners have a reason to join.
Would this work in another niche?
Yes for any podcast host in any niche. Weak without a show.
