This was a big year for Outbound Kitchen.

2024 was huge for Outbound Kitchen. 🎉

Huge thanks to every one of you who made it possible.

Here’s what went down:

Launched the Paid Newsletter: Packed with templates, recipes, and AI prompts. I'm building the go-to resource for outbound leaders, and pros who want to level up.
Subscriber Growth: Hit 3,400+ subscribers by sticking to one rule, deliver value, every single time.
Rebranded SDR Game to Outbound Kitchen: because outbound is the main dish here, leadership, daily grind, and everything in between.
Podcast Milestones: Over 210k downloads, with 140k this year alone. That’s more than my previous two podcasts combined. Oh, and we hit #1 among 200 fans, top 5 for 1k, and top 10 for 2k. Absolutely wild.
Career Pivot: Got fired from a toxic job. Didn’t waste time feeling sorry for myself, I used it as fuel to turn Outbound Kitchen into a powerhouse.

None of this happens without you, reading, listening, supporting. Thank you for riding along. Let’s make 2025 even bigger.

Looking Ahead To 2025

2025 is going to be next-level.

What’s your big plan for the year?

For me, it’s simple: making Outbound Kitchen the go-to resource for outbound leaders and pros. Whether it’s through the newsletter, podcast, or community, I’m here to help you scale outbound, whether you’re starting from scratch or running a 300+ sales team. Need more customers? Expanding with existing ones? I’ve got you covered.

Here’s what I’m thinking of diving into next year (no promises, but stay tuned):

More for Paid Subscribers: I’ll load up the newsletter with extra templates, frameworks, AI prompts, and playbooks to make scaling outbound even easier.
Outbound Benchmarks: Plan to share data-driven insights by region and industry so teams can actually measure and improve their performance—not just guess.
Topics: SDR career growth, building outbound from scratch, switching from inbound to outbound, customer acquisition vs. expansion, you name it. Tons of content coming your way.
Community: Some of you asked, so I’m thinking about launching an exclusive space where outbound leaders and pros can swap ideas, solve problems, and connect.
Live events: Weekly sessions, maybe even a big outbound event. Stay tuned—it’s going to be 🔥.
