Guest Guide
Before your episode
Glad you're here. Here's everything you need to know before we hit record.
What to bring
Bring your best. The workflow, automation, or AI setup that has genuinely changed how you work. The one you'd tell a friend about, the one that made you think why didn't I do this sooner.
We're building a library of the most valuable things people are doing with AI right now. What you bring should be worth stealing.
Some examples of what that could look like:
- Something that saved you a significant amount of time
- A process you fully automated
- Output quality that jumped noticeably
- A workflow that made or recovered real money
- Something manual you just don't do by hand anymore
One thing to keep in mind: the people watching are smart but not necessarily technical. The best episodes show something genuinely impressive in a way that makes the first step feel doable. You don't need to dumb it down. Just bring them in.
If you're deciding between a few options, go with the one that changed something real for you and that someone could realistically start using the same week.
Before we hit record
- Use headphones, not speakers. This is the single most important thing. Without headphones your mic picks up the other person's voice and ruins the recording.
- Turn your notifications off, phone and laptop.
- Check your mic and camera.
- Have your workflow open and ready on screen.
- Close any browser tabs you don't need. Keeps the screen share clean.
How the episode flows
Who you are
A brief introduction. What you do, what you build, what world you operate in.
The why
What drove you to build this workflow. What problem were you sitting with, what broke, what frustrated you enough to find a better way.
The walkthrough
This is the core of the episode. Share your screen and walk us through exactly how it works, like you'd explain it to a teammate. The tools, the prompts, the decisions, all of it.
The payoff
What changed for you once this was working. Time saved, money made, something you'll never do manually again. And what someone watching could take from it and use tomorrow.
Throughout all of this we'll ask follow-up questions as you go. The conversation stays live. Nothing is rigid.
A few practicalities
We record on Riverside. Sessions run under thirty minutes and the final episode is typically fifteen to twenty minutes. We handle all the editing.
All you need is your screen and your workflow. No slides or prep decks needed.
If you can walk through it like you'd explain it to a teammate over a screen share, that's exactly what we're after.
Excited for this. See you soon.
