What you get

Your own words, your own byline

A guest essay you write or co-sign — on your own thinking, in your own voice. It's not a piece we write about you.

A readership already thinking about leaders

Readers arrive here to understand how leaders reason, across politics, business, technology, and society — a specific, receptive audience.

Runs in the same design system

Set with the same care as our verified leader coverage — not dropped into a separate, lower-effort “sponsored” template.

Clearly labelled, throughout

Nothing on this publication is unmarked native advertising — including yours.

No influence over our editorial line

Paying doesn't buy, steer, or guarantee editorial coverage. That boundary is what keeps the audience worth reaching.

What it looks like

Illustrative layout — not a real post.

Partner EssayNot editorial

You

[ Your name ]

[ Your headline — the argument you want to make ]

Your argument opens here, unedited in substance — we only check it reads clearly and is marked as a partner essay.

↗ Your website↗ Your LinkedIn

The byline ends with a real, permanent backlink to your own site or LinkedIn — not just a name.

Why it’s worth doing

Your own address

name.mindsthatlead.com — not a page buried in a path, a subdomain that's yours: easy to say, easy to link, yours to point people to.

Built to be found

Indexed with proper SEO metadata and the same structured markup as our verified leader coverage — and written with an eye on the AI answer engines readers increasingly ask instead of searching.

A citable, permanent asset

Not a post that disappears down a feed in a day. A stable link for a bio, a proposal, an email signature — something that keeps working long after it's published.

Questions & answers

Can this get us editorial coverage of our leader or company?

No. Editorial selection is kept entirely separate from partnerships and can't be bought, influenced, or guaranteed by paying. A partner essay is your own voice, not a piece written about you.

Who writes it?

You do — or you co-sign a draft with our desk. Either way, the argument stays yours.

What does it cost?

Pricing is kept modest and accessible on purpose. Write in and we'll quote it plainly.

How is it labelled?

Clearly, throughout — as a Partner Essay, distinct from our independent leader analysis.

Do I get my own URL?

Yes — a real subdomain, name.mindsthatlead.com, not just a page. It's yours to link and share, and it's what we point search engines and AI answer engines at.
