🌓150. How I host a live show


Listen Later

Hey hey — today’s episode is timed literally to 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 show Talk the Walk with 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:

  • šŸŽÆ How we come up with topics (some planned, most riffed)
  • 🧠 Why everything is marketing when your name is your brand
  • šŸŽ¬ The tech I use to pull it all together (shoutout to StreamYard + Canva)
  • šŸŽ¤ How I prep prompts and questions to keep the convo flowing
  • 🧩 Why live-streaming is the best training ground for 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.

šŸ” Don’t forget: Tomorrow’s Weekend Rewind features the full conversation Alan and I had about building a profitable business without hiring a VA or adding overhead. One of my favourite convos so far.

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