🌴150. How I host a live show

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:🎯 How we come up with topics (some planned, most riffed)🧠 Why everything is marketing when your name is your brand🎬 The tech I use to pull it all together (shoutout to StreamYard + Canva)🎤 How I prep prompts and questions to keep the convo flowing🧩 Why live-streaming is the best training ground for handling anything in the momentGet $10 off Streamyard.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.🔁 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.Pre-order my new book WORK FAME and get featured on the Wall of Work FameSign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comLet's connect on all the channels:Leanne Hughes on LinkedInLeanne Hughes on InstagramVisit my website: leannehughes.comEmail me: [email protected] you like to deliver your own private podcast feed to your audience?
