Talk and ideas creators make arguments in public: a podcast, a talk, an essay, a thread. The paid part is the private version. Someone has a draft, a rundown, or a talk next Thursday, and they want the person whose public work they already follow to go through it with them.
Pieces people ask you to look at
Podcasting
A format, an interview that rambled, or the first ten episodes of a show that has not found its shape.
Public Speaking
A talk rehearsed once, out loud, with notes on where the room will leave.
Writing & Copy
A page, a newsletter or a script. The session is a critique of that text, not a ghostwrite.
Journalism
A story structure, a lede, or how to approach a source, from someone who has filed the work.
Commentary
How to hold a take: what is evidence, what is posture, and what the piece is actually saying.
A read-through with a price
- They send the draft in a paid message. You send the notes.
- A video call to rehearse a talk, so you can interrupt the parts that lose the thread.
- A booked edit session when the piece is long enough that a message thread would make it worse.

Talk & Ideas — common questions
Do I rewrite it for them?
Only if that is the offer you publish. A critique is notes and a conversation. A rewrite is a different job and a different price.
Can this sit next to my show?
Yes. The show is how people decide you are the right ear. The link is how one of them hires that ear for their own episode or draft.
What if I only do commentary, not coaching?
Then sell the conversation you are willing to have: a question about a piece you published, answered once, for a price, instead of for free in replies.
