Show Notes

Hey hey — today’s episode is timedliterallyto the Thermomix timer. I had 14 minutes while my eggs boiled, so that’s what I gave myself to record, edit, and publish this. (Spoiler: The beep didn’t make it in.)

What I wanted to share with you is a little behind-the-scenes look at how I prep, host, and run my live stream showTalk the Walkwith Alan Weiss. We’ve now done over 20 episodes together (!), and it’s evolved into a rhythm that’s spontaneous, thoughtful, and honestly, a brilliant crash course in real-time facilitation.

In this episode, I walk through:

🎯 How we come up with topics (some planned, most riffed)
🧠 Whyeverythingis marketing when your name is your brand
🎬 The tech I use to pull it all together (shoutout to StreamYard + Canva)
🎤 How I prep prompts and questions to keep the convo flowing
🧩 Why live-streaming is thebest training groundfor handling anything in the moment

Alan throws curveballs. I do the tech. And we co-host in a way that feels fun, fast, and occasionally chaotic (in a good way). I'm also thinking of offering others the chance to go live with me soon—so if you’re curious about that, stay tuned.

🔁 Don’t forget: Tomorrow’s Weekend Rewind features the full conversation Alan and I had about building a profitable businesswithouthiring a VA or adding overhead. One of my favourite convos so far.

Thanks for tuning in. And yes, the eggs turned out perfectly.
