Lucid × THE DETERMINED SOCIETY

For shows that
refuse to quit.

The Determined Society has partnered with Lucid to help more podcasters get heard. We produce your promo, place it inside relevant podcasts and run the campaign, so your show gets introduced to people who are already listening.

Determined Society listeners get a $25 credit on their first payment.

Shawn French.
The face of determination.

A former LSU baseball catcher and top-performing medical sales rep, Shawn started The Determined Society in 2021 as a spin-off of his Facebook group, recording his first episode the same day he had the idea.

Today it is a weekly interview show with athletes, founders, authors and Hollywood names, built around raw conversations about adversity, mindset and the commitment it takes to keep going.

Relevant audiences.
More than a category match.

Our engine reviews your show and the titles and descriptions of up to eight recent episodes. It does the same for potential placement shows, then assesses six points of fit.

Our team reviews the fit and selects from available placements. We use published episode information, not verified individual listener profiles.

A little more considered.

They hear your name.
They’re one search away.

Your promo is made to be remembered. We say your show’s name clearly and point listeners straight to their podcast app, which they already have open. It’s how most people find a new show: 78% search by title or host (Sounds Profitable, 2026).
