Misbah Haque

Producer

Hi 👋🏽 I’m Misbah Haque, founder of Pod Mahal and Habit Chess.

In 2016, I started podcasting from my childhood bedroom with no audience or credibility.

Within a year, I landed my dream internship, dream job in the Bay Area, and was producing a show that went on to do over 1 million downloads.

In 2020, I founded Pod Mahal to help others build a body of work through podcasting.

We offer consulting to empower you to own your means of production, as well as done-for-you plans where all you need to do is show up and record.

I also host my own podcast, Habit Chess, where I test and execute these strategies in real-time.

I read books to become a better skill stacker and share what I learn.

We help creators & entrepreneurs build their own table with podcasting through consulting & DFY services.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • "Great to work with, responded quickly to feedback and delivered impressive results editing relevant clips together for a technical engineering podcast. I hired 4 different editors for this job and this guy was the only one who was able to follow my admittedly complex instructions!"

  • "Working with Misbah has catapulted our business forward in the best ways possible. He has been with us each step of the way, supporting us, guiding us, and most importantly giving us systems and implantations to grow our company at a rate we never thought possible. His knowledge and expertise are unmatched."

  • "Misbah is worth every dollar and more. After many projects together he still surprises me with how wickedly fast he returns finalized work, and his edits this round made me literally cry laughing on my videos. I look forward to a continuous climb of success with this creator – he is only getting better. You have no idea how much finding Misbah means to me. He just keep finding new ways to prove I found the best, kindest, most hardworking and attentive to detail editor I could have found. I wish he could have been there during the times I couldn’t even say out loud “I need to hire an editor” because I was sooo afraid of trusting someone with my work, Misbah were the exact person I needed. He is the definition of 'IN YOUR CORNER'”
