The Adaptable Chameleon Podcast

Documenting Personal Development in Public

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

People want a purpose for their life and that's rough to find, I know from searching for it alone.

However, you can help people on that journey through these conversations by sharing your experience and your knowledge. I will be there curious and inquisitive as an avatar for them.

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 earned their scars and want to share their lessons learned in public.

What you get:

  • A 60 minute engaging conversation about your work and your ideas
  • Access to an audience of people tired of motivational bs looking for guidance to own the process of moving their life forward
  • A conversation partner interested in what you have tested and what worked
  • Full promotional package:
    • Shorts with captions for TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube
    • Mid-length clips to target specific viewer personas with a topic on YouTube
    • Thumbnails for the mid-length clips
    • Episode transcript
    • Episode recording
    • Episode details (title and desciption with links to your online resources)

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.
