Let's Schedule Our Conversation

Guest Prep

Before We Hit Record

What to Expect

This is a conversation, not an interview. I block off 75 minutes so neither of us watches the clock, though most conversations run closer to 40-55. We'll spend the bulk of that time on the book you named in your intake form, and how it's actually shaped the way you lead or advise. No script on my end, no gotcha questions, just genuine curiosity about how you think.

The Only Technical Thing That Counts

Skip the complicated setup. Wired headphones (any pair) paired with Chrome on a laptop or desktop cover most of what could go wrong with sound. If you want the full checklist, lighting, an ethernet cable, closing extra tabs, I'll send it along with the reminder before we record.

You've Already Done the Hard Part

The book you shared in your form is the anchor for our conversation, so there's nothing left to over-prepare. Keep a couple of stories in your back pocket, moments where that book actually changed how you approached a client, a decision, or your business, and let the conversation find its way there.

Once It's Live

After we record, the episode goes through editing before it publishes. When it's live, I'll send you the link and ask you to share it with your own network, that's genuinely the biggest reason a conversation like this reaches people outside my own list. No pressure now, just a heads up so it isn't a surprise later.
