Want to suggest a guest or get booked as an expert?
We’re building episodes for operators, not spectators. If you can teach a repeatable framework in plain English, with real constraints and real decisions, we want to hear from you.
How to pitch (fast, clean, readable)
Email your reply to: [email protected] | Sign it: Vince
Use one of these subject lines:
GUEST SUGGESTION: [Name]
EXPERT PITCH: [Your Topic]
Operator note: If your pitch cannot be understood in 60 seconds, it is not ready.
Selection criteria (so you know the bar)
Non-negotiables
  • Real-world reps: you have done the thing, not just talked about it.
  • Clear niche: one slice deeply, not everything vaguely.
  • Operator language: frameworks, numbers, decisions, tradeoffs.
  • Ethical posture: no shady tactics, no hype, no misrepresentation.
  • Audience fit: helps small to mid operators improve execution.
Green flags
  • You can teach with specifics without doxxing deals.
  • You have a repeatable process, not a one-off win.
  • You are willing to share mistakes and how you adjusted.
  • You can provide a 3 to 5 bullet episode outline.
  • You can give a simple “how to start” path for beginners.
Red flags
  • Profit promises, guru vibes, secret system language.
  • You cannot share constraints, criteria, or how decisions were made.
  • The whole goal is to promote a course, fund, or deal.
  • You cannot explain your process without jargon.
  • You position as “I do everything” without depth.
Simple rule
Your pitch should read like an operator checklist, not a sales page.
