The Alliance · The Ninja-360 Dojo

Why alliances exist

No small crew has everything. The Alliance is how a boutique operation delivers at a level Main Street has never had access to — by partnering with the right people instead of pretending to be a big agency.

The theme of this room

We bring the big leagues to Main Street. Broadcast-quality studio, cinematic direction, enterprise-grade automation — the production value national brands pay agencies six figures for, delivered to the taco shop, the chiropractor, the family HVAC company.

(This line is positioning, not one of the three core philosophies — it describes what the Alliance delivers. The philosophies live in the Vision, Forge, and Floor rooms.)

Erik Juergensen · Lucky 13 Studios

The Ally in the studio lane — and now, two shows deep. Lucky 13 is the room where the shows get made. Erik brings the broadcast-quality studio, the production environment, and a co-host chair — the physical home of the podcast operation in Gladstone.

Generationally Incorrect — Co-Producer — The three-way co-production: Erik (Lucky 13), Gabe (Lucid Cinematics), Tim (Ninja-360). Four generations, one table, structured five-round format. Erik's contribution: the studio, the gear, the production environment — and a seat in the strategy vote. Terms tracked in the shared partnership doc; every partner's company bills the show at disclosed rates, costs before profit. 💡 Master plan 💡 Our lane

Found KC — Studio Partner — Ninja-360's flagship show. Erik's lane is the studio segment — when an episode needs the room, Lucky 13 is the room. Field work (the business visits, 360, drone) stays with Tim and Gabe. 💡 More info

The trade, in one line: Ninja-360 puts Lucky 13 on the map — hosting, visibility, a named founder, an optimized presence in Gladstone — and Lucky 13 gives the shows a home. Both sides trade what they’re best at. Terms in writing, timeboxed, reviewed at 90 days.

How an ally joins

One clear entry point — Every ally plugs into a specific lane. Erik plugs in through the studio lane and the co-host chair — nowhere else in the pipeline.

Terms in writing — Trades are timeboxed with a written "done." Handshakes start relationships; documents keep them. 💡 More info

The LLC owns the work — Everything created inside the pipeline is work-for-hire to Ninja-360 Digital Media LLC. Allies keep their brands; the alliance keeps its assets. 💡 More info

Earned depth — Roles expand when results land, not before. That's true for every ally, and it's how the alliance stays clean.

What the client feels

They never see the org chart. They see a local business — theirs — presented like a national brand. That’s the big leagues arriving on Main Street.
