A note from Ben
Ben DavisKnow who’s behind
the recommendation.
You deserve more than a name on a list. You should be able to ask questions, understand the fit, and know who’s accountable before choosing a resource for your business.
Before a business earns a place here, I’ll personally know an owner, partner, or major decision-maker and be confident they’ll do their best to meet your needs. I’ve interviewed many potential partners on Untrapped. Others will come through a careful review.
No recommendation can promise a perfect fit or flawless work. You decide what’s right for your business; I’ll make sure you have a personal introduction when you’re ready for a conversation.
Your experience will help shape the list.
Once you’ve used a resource, share what helped, especially the wins. Your suggestions and concerns matter, too. If something falls short, I’ll expect partners to take your feedback seriously and work to make it right.
Have an idea for a resource you’d like to see? You can reach me now.

Partner with Untrapped
Do work worth
recommending?
If your company, product, or resource helps entrepreneurs solve a real problem, apply for consideration before the directory launches.
Apply only if you believe your work belongs in the top 10% of your field and you’re comfortable with thorough vetting.
- Show the work.
- Relevant experience, client outcomes, and references help establish where your resource can make a difference.
- Know who’s accountable.
- Ben will need a personal relationship with an owner, partner, or major decision-maker who can receive introductions and treat referred entrepreneurs as priority clients.
- Be ready for a conversation.
- The Untrapped team will review your submission and reach out if there’s a potential fit as launch approaches.
Paid listings and affiliate partnerships are being explored. Commercial terms will be discussed after review and will not replace the vetting standard. Applying is free and does not guarantee a listing or podcast interview.
A few useful details
Before you apply.
What to expect while the toolkit takes shape.
When will Ben’s Picks launch?
A launch date hasn’t been announced. Potential partners can submit a resource for review ahead of time. If there’s a fit, the team will reach out as the directory comes together.
Do I need to have been on the podcast?
No. Businesses from the show and beyond are welcome to apply. Services, products, educational resources, and communities can all be considered if they help entrepreneurs work through a specific business trap.
What does the review involve?
Expect questions about your experience, outcomes, references, and the person accountable for the work. You should consider yourself in the top 10% of your field, but that self-assessment isn’t an industry ranking or a promise of acceptance. Ben will personally review and get to know the owner or decision-maker before recommending a business.
Will partners pay to be included?
Paid listings and affiliate or referral commissions are being explored. Terms will be discussed with potential partners after review, and commercial relationships will be clearly disclosed. Payment alone will NEVER earn a recommendation.
Why request an introduction through Untrapped?
When the directory launches, Ben will guarantee a personal introduction to an owner, partner, or major decision-maker so you’re handled as a priority client. The person receiving your request will have the context you share about your business and the help you need.
How can I share an idea or feedback?
Ideas are welcome now. After launch, share your wins, useful experiences, suggestions, or concerns directly with Ben at ben@untrapped.com. Your experience will help make the resources better for the next entrepreneur.
