About Whiskey Is for Closers

Whiskey Is For Closers - A podcast by Altezza. Most founders didn’t dream of becoming full-time salespeople—but when the business starts working, the selling doesn’t stop. That’s where we come in. Whiskey Is For Closers is the podcast where Altezza sits down with bold founders who’ve built businesses from scratch—and are now learning to scale beyond themselves. We talk sales breakthroughs, hard lessons, near-burnouts, and the real stories behind what it takes to grow a startup from scrappy to scalable. And yes—every guest brings their favorite drink, because behind every great founder is a great pour. Whether you're still in every pitch and close, or you're ready to replace yourself in sales, this show offers an unfiltered look at the path forward—straight from the people figuring it out at the edge of growth. Brought to you by Altezza—we embed proven fractional sales leaders into founder-led businesses, so you can scale your revenue without scaling your stress. Talent coupled with systems that let you grow, hire, or exit — on your terms. Subscribe, sip, and unleash your inner closer.

   Comfortable Uncomfortable: Erin Saxton on Velvet Steamrollers and Why Chicken Gimmicks Fall Flat

   Erin Saxton didn't set out to build a network — she built a bridge. The Erin Network exists so people with something worth saying can actually get heard, no bullhorn required. This week on Whiskey Is For Closers, Erin joins Craig, Steve, and Drew to talk about naming a company after yourself (no pressure), what "comfortable uncomfortable" actually teaches you, and why the gap between a great message and the right audience is closer than you think. Pour something with two limes — precision counts.

   Borrowed Stages: Dustin Riechmann on Building 7-Figure Brands with Your Story on Someone Else’s Show

   Dustin Riechmann built 7-Figure Leap on a simple bet: the fastest way for a mission-driven expert to build a 7-figure brand isn't more ads — it's telling your story on someone else's stage. He calls it Profitable Podcast Guesting, and today he's putting his own playbook to the test, live, in our chair. He joins Whiskey Is For Closers with a Dr. Pepper Zero in hand to talk about borrowed audiences, the craft of a good story, and the mistakes most founders make chasing the mic.

   Our New Favorite F-Word: Jamie Munoz on Redeeming 'Fractional' & Giving Roy Disney His Due

   Jamie Munoz spent years teaching visionaries and integrators to stay in their own lanes — she built a whole company, Catalyst Integrators, around that idea. Then her own sales hire walked out the door, and Jamie found herself right back in the seat she'd built a career telling people to leave. She joins Whiskey Is For Closers with a Coca-Cola in a fancy whiskey glass (yes, really) to talk fractional integrators before "fractional" was cool, the seat nobody wants, and what it's like to take your own medicine.
