What It's Like to Be a Guest
Thanks for considering Is Anything Real?.
If you're looking for another media tour stop, this probably isn't it.
Every episode begins with a conversation before we ever hit record. My goal isn't to help you repeat talking points—it's to explore ideas, challenge assumptions, and uncover stories your audience (and mine) haven't heard before.
The result is a conversation that feels authentic, thoughtful, and genuinely enjoyable for everyone involved.
What to Expect
Before We Record
Every guest starts with a short qualifier conversation. It's a chance to get to know each other, explore possible directions for the episode, and make sure we're creating something that's valuable for listeners—not just another interview.
During the Conversation
I prepare extensively, but I don't read from a script.
Instead, we follow the conversation wherever it naturally leads. Some of the best moments come from unexpected questions, honest reflection, and challenging conventional wisdom together.
After the Episode
You'll receive everything you need to share the episode with your audience, and I'll actively promote it across my channels. My hope is that the conversation continues long after recording ends.
What Guests Have Said
"Adam was one of the most prepared podcast hosts I've worked with. He had actually read part of my book, asked thoughtful questions, and was quick on his feet. He prepares, thinks, and adapts in real time, which makes for a conversational interview that's both comfortable and packed with insight."
David Silverstein
Founder & Author, Amaze Health
"The conversation before recording gave me confidence in where we were headed, and Adam guided the interview in a way that naturally shaped into a compelling narrative rather than feeling like a list of questions."
Sarah Fox
Founder & CEO, Rip Tie Hair
"Adam is a naturally gifted host who's calm and centred and makes you feel safe and grounded for the podcast. He handles the transitions smoothly and allows the discussion to go in the direction it naturally goes in—and that's the beauty. It's authentic and honest. On top of that it's a lot of fun as well!"
Ivo Perts
Co-founder & CEO, smoothin.ai
"Bring your true self to the conversation with Adam, and let his contagious enthusiasm infect you! It's a fun chat that breezes right by, where he highlights his favorite topics from your story or expertise, then ties it back to the foundational topic of what's real and what's bunk."
Colin Hodge

Who Makes a Great Guest?
I'm always looking for founders, executives, operators, authors, investors, and builders who have earned their perspective through experience—not just theory.
If you've challenged conventional wisdom, learned something the hard way, or discovered a better way of leading, building, or living, we'll probably have plenty to talk about.
The common thread isn't industry or job title.
It's curiosity, honesty, and a willingness to explore what's actually real.
