Thank you for booking the podcast interview!
Simon & I are excited to have you on and chat with you. Please read the following carefully. This ensures we have a smooth, respectful, and valuable conversation that benefits everyone who listens.
Important! I will send you the link to our podcast meeting directly in Facebook Messenger. If we are not friends yet, please add me now. This way, we can get notified of each other's messages instead of them going to the spam box and be delayed.
Use Good Audio – Clear sound makes a big difference. Please use a quality microphone or a headset, not built-in laptop or phone mics. A quiet space with minimal background noise will help keep the conversation focused.
Have a Stable Internet Connection – A strong connection prevents delays or disruptions, ensuring a fluid and engaging discussion.
Present Yourself Well (if video is recorded) – Wear something simple and neutral, avoiding distracting logos or patterns. This isn’t about formal dress—it’s about keeping the focus on the message, not the visuals.
Check Your Lighting & Background – A well-lit, uncluttered background makes for a more professional and distraction-free experience. A neutral space is best.
Minimize Interruptions – Find a private, quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. This is a conversation worth your full attention, and having a calm space helps you stay present.
We Keep It Real – This is an open and honest space. We talk about deep and sometimes difficult topics, but always with the goal of learning and growing.
Respect and Solution-Focused Mindset – This is not about blaming others or staying stuck in frustration. We discuss personal struggles with the intent to move forward and gain wisdom.
Stay Engaged and Present – This is your time to share, reflect, and contribute. Please avoid multitasking—listeners will connect most with a conversation that’s natural and focused.
We Record in One Take – We want this to feel like a genuine conversation, not a rehearsed script. If something needs to be addressed, we’ll handle it, but generally, we keep things flowing.
Be On Time – We respect your time, and we ask for the same in return. If you need to reschedule, just let us know as early as possible.
Background Noise & Poor Audio – If your environment is loud or your mic isn’t clear, it makes it difficult for listeners to connect with the conversation. Taking a moment to set up properly makes all the difference.
Going Off-Topic or Venting – While we discuss real struggles, this is about growth. It’s okay to share pain, but the focus is on what we can learn from it, not staying stuck in it.
Last-Minute Cancellations – Things happen, and we understand. Just give us as much notice as possible, and if you need to reschedule, use your booking confirmation email.
Blame, Hate, or Disrespect – This is a place for professionals to support and learn from each other, not tear others down. Any form of hostility—toward genders, society, or anyone else—doesn’t align with the purpose of this podcast. Our goal is to be wiser, not bitter.
