[00:00:38] Now remember this question is 100% hypothetical. Let's just say I invested in a program that I thought could get me out of a pickle and I now have realized that I got bamboozled. I'm now beating myself up internally for my poor judgment and this situation has me second guessing my decisions which has me kind of stuck in analysis paralysis mode. I know I need help but I am unsure of what to look at. I know I need help but I am not sure what to look at. Can you share some red flags to help me build my discernment muscle?

[00:01:15] So, if someone is already impressed with how you helped your client, we should take a moment to have you introduce yourself to our listeners. Quickly share your name and website for the people who like to click around while they're listening. I really want to dive into a hypothetical question I have for you. Introduce yourself. Let's go.

[00:01:43] Welcome to the tiny mastermind where you get free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free of free. In beta, I want to give you a podcast and I want to hear from my mom and I want to know all of you guys in the world and I also want to hear that I want to know how you're trying to help them.

[00:02:08] I want to be a part of my friend like this is my mom and I want to hear your It feels like we visit your back and body works. I have to thank you for sharing some red flags to help folks filter through the riffraff, but I'm a little bit curious.

[00:02:36] Can you tell us about a time when you had to fix a disaster from a client who tried to be MacGyver and they wound up just building a duct-taped Frankenstein monstrosity before working with you? It feels a bit obvious that you know how to help your clients who are searching for a solution, but I gotta ask you to save our listeners from some aggravation. Can you share a few hidden nuances people might run into once they enter into the AskHole search engine machines?

[00:03:02] Some folks mistake information as insight and are blinded by the scope of work required to achieve their goals. To be honest, I am even guilty of prematurely investing in software that's promoted like it's some kind of magic beans. I even have cluelessly dabbled inside of AI platforms, only to realize I lacked the patience, tools, or systems to do the work that's required to achieve the outcome I wanted. Basically, what are some problems a folks might encounter if they try to do it themselves

[00:03:29] without the proper context, insight, or support? I'd like you to share the value of working with a professional to get people closer to their goals so they don't get stuck into an endless stress bubble. So I'm wondering if I am going to be a computer process for an educational activity creator. Stay secure and connected with NordVPN.

Addressing critics' negativity isn't easy for everyone, so I have to give you a big thanks for your honesty. I believe it's important for folks to know that you are an advocate who has empathy and compassion for your clients. To help you relax a little bit, we are going to play our tiny rapid-fire round

[00:04:54] to learn a little bit about the regular you when you're not working with your clients. Here are the rules. I provide a short question, and you can only reply with a single sentence or less. Let's begin. What's your favorite TV show to binge watch? I'm really hoping that this actually runs properly on mobile and on standard devices. We'll see. And I just want everything to be smooth, calm,

[00:05:23] and collected with minimal drag on interfaces. What book has shaped your career the most? I have to be recording my interview. It's approximately 1 minute, 90 seconds max for your questions so that you don't have the form run slow. And also find out a lot of books for the user experience.

[00:05:50] So what is a recent purchase you have made that is under $100 that you really enjoy? I'm also looking at that to see what the messages are when you record too short or too long. I'm looking at the audio wave contraption. It is very nice. And also the form, I love how it bevels around the perimeter. And I'm liking how the audio wave file actually is functioning. It is so clean and so nice.

[00:06:19] And even though this is not my brand color, I like to see their contrast. I'm interactive and moving as a person speaks. Okay. This is the final tiny rapid fire round question. Would you survive a zombie apocalypse? And what would be your first move? I see that you have a pass for 768 to hide the mobile question counter as a draft.

[00:06:45] Can you also make sure that this is also on all devices? I prefer not to have it bevelable on anything. So can you create this new task? Can you make sure that it's cleaned up across all devices? I found the issue in the earlier mobile cleanup. Hide question counter on all devices. The guest interview header still renders the textual question A of Y indicated a mobile progress dot that we removed previously, but the screenshot shows there remains a counter.

[00:07:14] Hide the counter across every device size so guests never see a question counter during the interview. I updated the task. Hide question counter across all devices draft rather than create a duplicate. The revised plan. Remove question X or Y on mobile tablet and desktop. Remove the associated progress headering bar. I did it. Validating. When I asked my husband the same question about the zombies, he told me,

[00:07:43] Honey, I love you, but you're going to be useless, so you're just going to have to roll over and play like a speed bump to help me slow them demons down. Anyway, we got to get back down to business and turn your advisory mode back on. Okay, this is a question many people might be too shy to ask, but I got to know, how do your clients measure their progress to make sure they stay on the right track while working with you?

[00:08:06] Do you have benchmarks or operational metrics or a refined checklist that a client can use to help them focus on their progress to get the result they are seeking while working with you? So many experts have these types of assets, but so few ever disclose what they have in their toolbox to help their clients reach their goals. I want folks to realize that real experts don't wing it. They provide resources and processes to eliminate guesswork.

[00:08:33] I believe folks can benefit just from knowing that you work from a signature system, methodology, or framework. So how do your clients track or measure their progress to make sure they stay focused while working with you? Hide question counter. I'll remove the live guest counter and its header progress you've got,

[00:08:57] then update every affected E2E flow to use fixture API question totals. I'll first verify across files and tests set up and run focusing focus status plus type check field. The current code confirms the calendar and display only progress, all progress for it. I don't know what this means. A sync interview is made simple.

[00:09:25] I'm asking this next question to school the loudmouth couch potato cousins, who think professional insight is just some kind of magic voodoo. You and I understand that wisdom follows continual education, repetition, and data. So can you reveal one specific lesson you have learned from a previous client's feedback that shifted your perspective and had a lasting impact on your career?

[00:09:46] A tiny mastermind interview platform automated guest interviews from recording to publish entirely hands-free.

[00:10:19] This is an overview. This is an overview. What it does. Guest report interview answers through a web-guided forum. The platform handles everything else. Audio production, AI, automated show notes, cover art, and publishing automatically in the background. Eight platforms, zero manual steps. Guest interview votes. Guided questions, audio recording, one-click submission. Automated production pipeline, AI cover art, audio merge, show notes, all background.

[00:10:47] Full integration suite with a collection of tools, the sauna, parking, Google Drive, flow desk, go high level, and more. The guest experience is five steps to be done. There's a landing page for guests to visit. The interview booth link. Question alignment. Rotational variations are signed automatically. Question answers. Browser-based audio recording for question. Submit one button pipeline starts instantly. Name on screen confetti. Guest is done.

[00:11:16] Production pipeline fires in the background. Guest never waits. After submit. Background pipeline and AI cover art is generated. Guest uploads photo. System overflow auto-creates personalized episode artwork. Auto-merge question audio plus guest answers merge with opening and closing in mid-fold.

[00:11:43] We have a cloud sync with the sauna, pod means, Google Sheets, Google Docs, Google Calendar, flow desk, go high level, link key, all in parallel. We have a drive backup or audio recordings approach to Google Drive with MP3s. AI show notes are because of Gemini transcript audio and drive show notes, and it's all saved inside of a Google Doc. We also have a theme where we have automated asset creation with AI engraved cover art.

[00:12:10] Every guest photo is transformed by Gemini to a vintage engraved style portrait. And compose on an admin defined one composite onto an admin defined podcast template. Template. Guest photo transforms to high contrast engraving lines. Circle mass or proportion of the admin areas. A scale X, Y, and offset. And template backgrounds at want.

[00:12:39] Templated backgrounds set once admin reuses it for every episode. There are eight integrations into this platform. Thank you for giving us a bit of homework to escape the ask hole booby trap. But I got to make sure that I give you an assignment too. Our show invites our listeners to contribute to this segment of the show, and it's my assignment that I have to give to you. Don't worry, there are no right or wrong answers. This is just a game.

[00:13:09] Our listeners have fun coming up with the themes, and this is a way we integrate audience participation into our show. We have an open mic on thetinymastermind.com, and our listeners are encouraged to suggest themes for the Who Would You Hire, Promote, and Fire segment. Here's how it works. I'm going to give you three choices for a set topic. We have topics like tools, apps, meeting types, or even hypothetical coworkers. For each topic, you'll get a set of three choices.

[00:13:37] You just have to choose which one you would hire, which one you would promote, and which one you would fire. We'll only do four rounds so it stays quick. Remember, there are no wrong answers. Let's begin. Round one. Who would you hire, promote, and fire if these iconic founders were your hypothetical coworkers? Walt Disney, Henry Ford, and Sam Walton. Which iconic founder are you hiring, promoting, or firing?

[00:14:05] I connect the platforms for Asana, Podbean, Google Drive, Google Sheets, Google Calendar, Odesk, Go High Level, and Loop 2. Asana is a guest task plus production subtask. Podbean is your podcast episode upload and publishing. Google Drive is your audio and cover art file backup. Google Sheets is a guest admission log with episode links.

[00:14:34] Google Calendar is your air update event creation automatically. Flow Guest is a guest added to podcast guest segment. Go High Level is a web hook that fires to CRM for submission. Link 2 is your custom short link generation per episode. The project management that we're going to be using is Asana. The production task is creating an Asana.

[00:14:58] The moment a guest submits, every episode moves through the same workflow without any manual setup. Guest task auto-create. Guest name, episode URL, and air date populate automatically from submission data. Production sub-stack. Script, audio edit, thumbnail, polish, promote, ordered, and ready. Air date calculation.

[00:15:26] Due dates are based on configured buffer dates from submission. Podcast publishing. Podbean. The merge episode audio and AI cover art upload directly into Podbean and publish the same day. No login, no copy paste, no manual upload. There are zero manual steps. One thing to live. Audio and cover art upload. Merv MP3 and AI-generated cover art sent directly to via Podbean API.

[00:15:56] Episode published same day. Zero buffer days. Episode goes live immediately on submission. Episode URL stored in Link. Live URL saved to admin dashboard sheet and Asana task. Google Workspace. Four services, one submission. Google Calendar, air date event created with episode link. There's no manual scheduling. We have a set buffer time. The Google Docs.

[00:16:23] We have an AI show notes thing and a Google Doc with a guest name and episode details. We also have Google Sheets. We have one more per episode with the name, email address, episode, URL, air date, and all links that are generated or submitted through the data form. And we also have Google Drive. All MP3 files, all MP3 recordings, and final cover art are backed up for our guest episode folder.

[00:16:54] Your assignment is officially complete. That is it for the hire, promote, or fire game. You know, you have been very generous sharing your time and wisdom with us, and we really appreciate it. If anyone wants to reach out, where can we go to learn more about you and your work? And every guest is automatically submitted to Flowdesk and placed in podcast guest segment. Ready for episode launch, emails, and future campaigns.

[00:17:23] They're segmented under podcast guests. The guest's first name, last name, and email added on submission tagged as segmented automatically. The CRM automation is Go High Level. A webhook fires to Go High Level the moment a submission completes triggers any CRM automations connect creation, pipeline stages, updates, and follow-up sequences. Webhook on every submission. Guest data sent to Go High Level connected to any automations already configured there.

[00:17:56] Control Center. We have the admin portal. Full visibility and control over every aspect of the interview platform session cover our integrations and submissions. We have a session builder where you can create question groups with ABC rotation, opening and closing audios. We have cover art settings, upload template, adjust photo scale, X on Y offset, shape, and engraving toggle.

[00:18:25] We have submission review, per submission review, with cover art audio player, show notes, and retry sync. Live connection status for all eight platforms with sync status per submission. Production ready built for reliability. Every step of the pipeline is designed to build gracefully. No segment is lost. No guest is left waiting. Background. Background job. Guests submit and cease thank you instantly.

[00:18:55] All processing while behind the scene. Recovery scanner. On server setup. Incomplete submissions and detections are automatically retired. And we have graceful call fallbacks. Each integration falls independently. One outage does not break the others. What's next? We publish to production. Push all recent changes to Asana Podbean engraving background pipeline.

[00:19:24] Live on thetinymastermind.com. We're receiving today. We dry run. Trigger's a full pipeline for today's Marisa's test submission. Asana task Podbean episode show notes. Pipeline visibility for admin. Error badges and retry buttons for submission. No more checking logs if they failed. Looking to build a stunning website without breaking a sweat?
