The Open + Curious podcast is about helping others create better conversations.
Everyone talks every day, but how often do we intentionally practice the art of conversation? In the podcast episodes, I hope to ignite our listeners’ passion for creating great conversations.

1. Schedule yourself via Calendly…
Pick a one-hour spot which works for you:

If you don’t see a day, or time-of-day, that works for you, just get back to me in whatever channel we were communicating. I’ll do my best to find a date/time that works for you. Or tell me when you want me to ask you again later, (“give me a couple weeks”, or “ask me again next month”, …and I’ll followup with you then.)
2. How everything works…
Feel free to ask me questions in whatever medium we were already using. I’ve tried to anticipate the common questions, but I’m happy to discuss anything in detail.
Safety net — It’s not live, and we only record audio. After we stop recording, you decide if I publish it. Seriously. You get a big, safe, veto option. Published or vetoed, I’ll still be glad we had a chance to have a cool conversation.
Relax — There’s no need to prepare, and there’s no need to show up early.
Zencastr.com or Zoom — If you can run the Chrome web browser on your desktop or notebook (there is also an app for mobile), then we’ll use Zencastr.com to get high-quality audio from your side. If that’s not possible, we can also use Zoom but you’ll be much lower audio quality. We can figure out which method we’ll use after you pick your time for the call.
Record ~40 minutes — After some warm-up conversation, we’ll begin the recording and dive in.
Headphones please — If possible, please have headphones. Without headphones, my voice coming out of your speakers can be picked up by your microphone creating an echo.
Topics for our conversation — We’ll have time to chat before recording so we can decide what we’re talking about. If you prefer, we can also discuss this in whatever medium we are already communicating in, or we can schedule an un-recorded call to see where our conversation might go.
Can you use what we record? — Yes, of course! You may do whatever you want with what we record. When we’re done recording, just ask, and I’ll email you download links for the audio files.
