Fair reaction — if you're picturing a casual interview swap. This isn't that; think of it as a media placement, the same way you'd pay for a sponsored newsletter slot or a paid ad. Your contribution covers editing, mastering, and production; hosting and distribution across 30+ platforms; show notes, artwork, and scheduling; and promotion across our channels — plus it keeps your episode in our back catalog free, permanently. The same reach through paid ads would run $1,500–$2,000 and stop the moment you stop paying. Yours works forever.

Generally, 25–30 minutes is good but if a conversation needs to go longer, that's fine with me! I think some of the best conversations need some time to get into it. Fill out the podcast guest application form to apply today.

Nope, it won't be recorded live. Unless we're doing a special live episode or webinar. This means we can cut out or edit anything you'd like. I like to have real, transparent conversations but if you say something that should be edited or drop a name that you'd like to take out, just let me know during or after we record!

We won't be recording right when the call starts. We'll have a quick catch up conversation and run through some of the questions and then get started with the recording.

No. The show is completely unscripted — no prepared questions, nothing on screen during the interview, no agreed-upon narrative. Every guest knows that walking in. It's the format I've sharpened across 500+ conversations, and it's why the good ones sound like two people actually talking, not a press release read into a microphone.

What this means in practice: no approval over the questions, no script or questions sent in advance, no edits to what you said after the fact, and no endorsement of your product. Scripted or staged interviews aren't a fit here — they tend to sound forced, and listeners notice right away. To get a feel for the format, I recommend listening to a few recent episodes.

No. The recorded interview will not be sent for approval before publication. Our production fee starts at $249 and is carefully calculated to keep the process as affordable as possible for our guests. Adding an additional approval step would make it financially unfeasible to offer this competitive pricing. For more details read the Podcast Interview Release Agreement.

We record real, unscripted conversations — if something comes up you'd rather leave out, just tell us during or right after recording and we'll cut it (see "Will this be live?" above). Production fees are non-refundable once your interview is scheduled, so we recommend listening to a few episodes first to get a feel for the format before you book.

Typically, I record several weeks ahead, so your episode may not be released for several weeks. Most go live within 45 days after we record. I'll let you know as soon as it's live so you can share on your social media channel, email list & website. If you need your podcast episode to go live faster, book the Premium Package, where your episode will be recorded and released within seven (7) days.
