About Vic

Founder and strategic partner

Vic Dorfman founded MemberFix in 2014, and later MemberHost – WordPress operations and hosting for membership businesses.

Since then, his team has supported 500+ sites, including TechServe Alliance, Nomad Capitalist, and Echelon Front.

His view: the best tech decision is the one that serves the business, not the one that sounds most impressive in a sales pitch.

Vic brings strong opinions, clear data, and stories listeners quote back – not lectures they tune out.

FAQ

Common questions from podcast hosts

Everything you need to know before reaching out.

No. Vic appears as a guest for free when there's audience fit. If your listeners run membership sites, online courses, communities, or subscription businesses, Vic will be able to provide most value.

Vic is based in Thailand (ICT, UTC+7). Running a globally distributed team, he's used to finding times that work across US, European, and Asian time zones. Reach out and he'll make it work.

Yes, please. Prepared guests deliver better episodes. Share your question outline before recording so Vic can pull relevant case studies, numbers, and stories for your audience. If anything's off-topic or a poor fit, he'll flag it upfront so the conversation flows without surprises on either side.

A well-lit home studio, broadcast-quality microphone and camera, high-speed internet. He's recorded across the standard platforms (Zoom, Riverside, and similar) and is happy to weigh in on which one fits the show best if the host wants input. Otherwise, he shows up on whatever the host runs.

Most of the time, yes. Vic enjoys sharing podcast appearances on his email list and social channels, and his team helps put episodes in front of people who'd find them useful. If the conversation feels like a fit, expect it to go out. Either way, we'll keep the host posted.

Vic prefers in-depth conversations, so 40 to 90 minutes usually works best. Shorter and things feel rushed; longer is tough to schedule alongside running MemberFix. If a host needs more time, we can usually plan around it with advance notice.

Any podcast whose audience runs a membership site, community, or subscription business. That includes WordPress and eLearning shows, anything built for coaches or course creators, plus thought leader podcasts in parallel industries.
