The Adaptable Chameleon Podcast

The Experiment in Progress

I'm documenting my journey testing frameworks from psychology, philosophy, business, and personal development - showing what works, what's bs, and what I'm still figuring out.

This started as an experiment itself: turning my essays into podcast conversations using Google's NotebookLM. A year in, it's time to bring more humans into the loop.

Every week I share:

  • Experiments I'm running on myself
  • Results from what I've tested
  • Fresh perspectives and ideas that spark new experiments
  • Conversations with people further ahead who have results to share

This is a documentary of someone stumbling through progress and bringing on guests who have their own experiments to share.

If you're tired of collecting motivational quotes and ready to see what happens when someone actually tests this stuff - that's what this podcast is.

Why be a guest?

Honest talk: this podcast has a small audience. It's a year old, and I'm intentionally transitioning from AI-generated episodes to real conversations with people who have run their experiments and have results to share.

What you get:

  • A 60-90 minute genuinely curious conversation about your work
  • Full promotional package: video shorts with captions, social media posts, transcript, and episode recording
  • Access to an audience of overthinkers ready to move from consuming content to taking action
  • A conversation partner interested in what you have tested and what worked

Who I'm looking for:

  • People who have run their own experiments in psychology, philosophy, business, personal development, analytics, or related fields. You have results to share. I'm documenting my journey and learning from yours along with the audience.
  • The ROI is honest: You won't reach millions. But you'll reach people who are specifically looking for frameworks they can test, not just theory to consume.

If that excites you, reach out via email or book it in my calendar right below.

    Steven Seidenberg

    Steven's work lives in the tension between analysis and experimentation.
