THE PROCESS

From invitation to conversation.

01

Get acquainted

Watch a past episode to understand the show. Then book a 15-minute phone call with Owen to discuss your perspective and potential topics.

02

Shape the discussion

Talk through what would be useful to listeners and what you are comfortable sharing. Confirm the recording plan with Owen before the interview.

03

Join us in Irvine

Come to the studio for an English-language conversation, usually about one hour long. The interview is recorded in person.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD CONVERSATION

Useful ideas start with
real experience.

You do not need to fit a specific industry or job title. We are interested in what you have observed, built, changed your mind about, or learned the hard way.

Specific examples help listeners understand your perspective. It is fine to raise questions and boundaries in the introductory call.
