If you’re comfortable teaching via video, want to reach family-first entrepreneurs, and know that when you deliver a ton of value you don't need a heavy pitch to attract your ideal clients... you're in the right place! 🎉
We are currently seeking business/marketing experts with big ideas to join us for 30 minutes of value-packed interview goodness to be shared within our community of progressive family-first entrepreneurs & syndicated across all major podcast players and social channels.
Our attendees primarily identify as moms, so it's a bonus if you are also able to relate to and address the unique situations faced by a mom building her business during nap time, or while Paw Patrol entertains her little one(s) for 20 minutes at a time.
All trainings are pre-recorded with Meg on Riverside.fm (similar to Zoom) & follow a predictable pitch-free format:
- 1-3 minutes introducing you & your topic with Meg
- 20-25 minutes interview with Meg focused around highlighting your big idea 💡 & three key takeaways/action steps.
- 2-3 minutes sharing how our community can connect with you and sharing one FREE list-building resource
You are a good fit if...
- You are willing/able to be recorded live on camera. All sessions are recorded with video and audio on Riverside.fm and may be streamed live into a private FB Group.
- You are comfortable with imperfection. We record live and don't heavily edit post-production. We'll both try to reduce distractions, but sometimes life happens.
- You're in alignment with FamilyPreneur®'s diversity, equity, & inclusion values, including but not limited to supporting LGBTQIA+ rights, & anti-racist initiatives. 🙌
You are not a good fit if...
- You've got a red MAGA hat in your closet or a thin blue line flag flying off the back of your pickup.
- You insist on using a "green screen" background on zoom. These rarely look good and we want to make sure the focus is 100% on you and your message - not a distracting background.
- You're only interested in my reach, list size, and/or download numbers. Size isn't the only thing that matters, y'all! 🙃

Quick Links
What will the process look like?
Let’s do a quick rundown of how the whole thing will work.
STEP 1: You apply to be a speaker below.
STEP 2: If you are accepted, you'll receive an email and will schedule a 60-minute appointment to record your podcast episode with Meg on the Riverside.fm platform.
STEP 3: We record your episode together - my favorite part!
STEP 4: Within 2 weeks of recording, you will receive an expected release date and assets to promote the episode to your audience. ⚠️ Remember: ⚠️ being featured as a guest on a podcast is a great way to build your authority - not just by being exposed to my "new-to-you" audience, but also by letting your existing audiences know that you're SO amazing that we've decided to feature you on our platform!
STEP 5: The episode will release as planned, and your brilliance will impact thousands! 🎉
FAQ: Why do we schedule a 60-minute call to record our 30-minute podcast episode?
✅ Sometimes tech issues happen at the beginning, middle, or end of recording and we want to have a buffer.
✅ Sometimes we chat a little bit before hitting record, or want to chat a little afterward.
🚫 This does not mean that you can show up 20 minutes late.
Guest Expectations
My goal is to make this all as easy as humanly possible so we can all have a blast while providing great value and growing our businesses together.
1. THE APPLICATION
The first thing I’ll need is some very basic information from you so I can prepare the best questions for our interview, and promote your episode effectively.
This information includes things like:
- - Name
- - Title
- - Bio
- - Square headshot
You will submit this information with your application below. 😉
2. THE INTERVIEW
Your 30 minute interview is meant to be more friendly and casual than perfect and structured. We want our attendees to learn something great, while having fun in the process.
Your interview should include great, actionable content. Please prepare to share your knowledge in a way that allows attendees to walk away feeling like they've really learned something, rather than feeling like they're listening to an infomercial and they're missing something that they need to buy from you before they can actually see progress.
3. THE PITCH
Along with each presentation we recommend you include a FREE opt-in that is directly related to the topic we'll discuss in our interview.
You should have a landing page built to capture leads, deliver the opt-in, and add those people to your list.
We don't recommend pitching a paid product - it's just a tougher sell if the audience has not been introduced to you first.
4. THE PROMOTION
You are encouraged to share on social media and to email your lists during the week your episode is released.
Being featured as a guest on FamilyPreneur® is a great way to build your authority beyond the exposure to our audience... by letting your existing audience know that you've been featured on FamilyPreneur®, they will see that your perspective is of value to others. It's a great way to increase your credibility and further establish your expertise.
