The studio trade with Erik: a co-host, a room, and getting Lucky 13 found.
The trade: you give Erik Partner Hosting + a bounded visibility setup (get Lucky 13 found in Gladstone); he gives studio access + a co-host chair. 90-day review. Erik stays show lane only — a partner, not inside the build.
You’re not over a barrel — a $2–3K rig makes you studio-independent. Negotiate for his audience and co-hosting, not the room.
