Guest Suggestion & Pre-Interview Form

Thanks for your interest in being part of a conversation on Think Outside the Lines.

This form helps us learn about you and your work—and if we move forward, it also gathers what we'll need for show notes and promotion when your episode goes live.

Who We're Looking For

Think Outside the Lines features thoughtful conversations with people who are building lives and work that feel intentional—not just impressive.

Creators & Entrepreneurs Who Lead Differently

  • Building businesses rooted in alignment, not just growth metrics

  • Challenging hustle culture while still pursuing meaningful ambition

  • Creating sustainable models that prioritize clarity and well-being

  • Willing to talk about the messy middle, not just the highlight reel

Thought Leaders Making the World Lighter

  • Using their platform to create positive impact without performative activism

  • Exploring questions around meaning, purpose, and how we live

  • Approaching change with nuance—grounded, not preachy

  • Leading with presence, not just visibility

People With Reinvention Stories

  • Navigated a significant identity shift or life transition

  • Left traditional paths to create something more aligned

  • Can articulate what they learned in the in-between

  • Willing to share both the clarity and the uncertainty

Reflective Practitioners

  • Substack writers exploring life, work, and humanity

  • Coaches, facilitators, or guides (non-clinical framing)

  • Modern leaders redefining what leadership means

  • Anyone doing intentional, creative, or meaningful work—who can talk about how they show up, not just what they've achieved

What Matters to Us

We're not looking for:

  • Polished talking points or rehearsed origin stories

  • Growth hacking, optimization, or hustle narratives

  • Surface-level inspiration without depth

We are looking for:

  • Honesty about what it takes to live intentionally

  • Willingness to sit in reflection, not just action

  • Stories that feel human—nuanced, real, and relatable

  • Alignment between what someone says and how they actually live

The Through-Line

Every guest, regardless of background, should be someone who is actively creating the life they want—not defaulting to someone else's script.
