Welcome to The Podcast!

THIS IS A MUST READ BEFORE MEETING

Hey there! We hope this letter finds you in the zen zone, sipping your favorite beverage
and ready to embark on a podcast adventure. The team at Coffee with the Collective
and The Expressive Expresso is absolutely thrilled to invite you to join us on our
podcast, "The Humbling." Get ready to share your invaluable life lessons with our eager
audience!

"The Humbling" is not your ordinary run-of-the-mill podcast. It's a laid-back, insightful
space where we dive deep into those oh-so-humbling moments life throws our way. We
believe that the lessons learned through challenges shape us into the remarkable
individuals we are today. And guess what? You're the superhero of our show, ready to
share your wisdom with the world!

To help us uncover your epic journey, we've come up with some cleverly crafted
questions. They're like little treasures, waiting for you to unlock them with your wit and
brilliance. So grab a comfy seat, bring your storytelling A-game, and let's get this
conversation rolling!
Picture this:
1. A sitcom-style moment from your life that taught you an unforgettable lesson.
Can you share it with us, complete with a catchy theme song?
2. Life often has a way of surprising us with unexpected teachers. Can you think of
an unconventional source of wisdom that guided you on your path?
3. If you could have a time-traveling chat with your younger self, what nugget of
advice would you drop? And no, investing in "magic beans" doesn't count!

4. When life serves up a heaping plate of setbacks or failures, what's your secret
recipe for turning them into opportunities for growth?
5. Has there been a surprising twist of fate that led to a remarkable turning point in
your life? Spill the beans (preferably coffee beans)!
6. When the storm clouds gather, how do you stay calm and focused on the silver
linings? Is there a secret relaxation dance or a perfectly timed joke involved?

Now, let's get a little serious for a moment (but not too serious, because who wants
that?). Here are a few podcast ground rules to keep things professional and smooth
sailing:
1. Be your amazing, authentic self! We value genuine conversations that showcase
your unique personality. Let your true colors shine, even if they include a touch of
sparkle.
2. Respect and kindness are our main ingredients! We foster an inclusive and
supportive environment. Let's keep the conversation warm, uplifting, and
respectful to create an experience that our listeners will treasure.
3. Time is a precious commodity, just like that perfect cup of coffee. Our podcast
episodes usually run for around 45 minutes to an hour. So, let's make every
minute count and weave magic with our words!

Whether we record in person or via Zoom, we'll make sure you're set up for podcast
success. Just let us know your preferred format and any technical requirements you
may have. We're here to make your experience as smooth as a freshly brewed latte.

We can't contain our excitement to have you as a guest on "The Humbling." Your
remarkable story and valuable life lessons will undoubtedly inspire our listeners to
embrace their own journeys with grace and resilience.
