Set Up Your Recording Space

A few simple things to make you look and sound great.

  • 🎙️ Microphone & headphones. Don't stress about gear. Earbuds with a built-in mic work perfectly. Wear them so your mic doesn't pick up echo.
  • 💡 Lighting. Face a window if you can. Natural light is ideal. Avoid bright lights or windows directly behind you.
  • 🎬 Background & environment. Find a quiet spot. A plain wall, bookshelf, or simple office setting all work. Close the door if you can.
  • 📶 Internet. Wired is best. Otherwise, stay close to your router and close any large downloads or streams running in the background.

Know What We'll Talk About

Three questions. That's the whole episode. No surprises.

🔥 The Heat Check
What's heating up right now in digital advertising for you, and why is it working? Platforms, tactics, formats, measurement, creative approaches, AI, team structures. A short story or metric makes it great.
❄️ The Reality Check
What's cooling off, underperforming, or getting harder? What should marketing leaders rethink, deprioritize, or stop doing entirely? Call out overhyped tactics, rising costs, diminishing returns.
🧠 What's Making You Happier or Smarter Lately?
A book, podcast, meme, a good follow, show, hobby, a joke... literally anything. Links welcome.

Don't script it. The best episodes are conversational. You already shared your initial thoughts in the application — just review the topics above and think loosely about what you want to say.

Here's how the 30 minutes break down.

  • 🎙️ 10 min — Getting to know you. We'll chat about your background and warm up. This part isn't recorded.
  • 🔴 10-15 min — Recording. The Heat Check, the Reality Check, and what's making you happier or smarter. Conversational, not scripted.
  • 🤝 5-10 min — Wrap-up. Quick debrief and next steps for your episode and clips.
Release form: We'll send a short release via email before your session. It covers permission to use your recording for the episode and clips. Straightforward, no surprises.
