If the pitch lands here, it probably means the story is too polished, too vague, or too far away from real life.
Pitch Ready Set Do
If you want to pitch this show, stop guessing.
This page is here because nobody should have to reverse-engineer what fits from a random clip. If you want me on your mic, or you think you belong on mine, start here.
Pitch yourself to the show
The story should still have a pulse.
I care about the messy middle. The part where the move still costs something. The part where you can still remember what you did first and what almost made you quit.
- people still close enough to the move that the details have not gone soft
- stories where the first move mattered more than the polished outcome
- engineers, recruiters, creators, founders, operators, students, and strange outliers
- people with one concrete thing another person can steal by the end of the hour
Invite Naman
If you want a guest who can talk without sounding embalmed, this is the lane.
I am strongest when the room is honest and the topic still matters in real life, not just on a conference stage.

What gets ignored
A few things die on arrival.
This is me saving both of us time.
No
stories so old they have turned into mythology
If the pitch lands here, it probably means the story is too polished, too vague, or too far away from real life.
No
notes with no angle, no stakes, and no reason this matters now

What to send
The short version wins.
Do not send a museum plaque. Send the useful part.
Use something this simple:
- Who you are, in one line.
- What move you made.
- Why it matters now.
- What somebody listening can actually steal.
If you are inviting me on your show, swap in your audience and angle. If you are pitching yourself to Ready Set Do, tell me the bruise, not the brochure.
Why this is easy to route
The archive already proves the range.
Nobody wants to pitch blind. Fair enough. Here is the quick read.

Open episodeFAQ
The normal questions, answered before the DM.
Better for you. Better for me. Better for the inbox.
What kind of guest fits Ready Set Do best?
People who are still close to the leap. If the move still feels alive, expensive, awkward, or unfinished, that is usually a much better fit than someone giving a neat speech from ten years later.
What should a pitch actually include?
Who you are, what move you made, why it matters now, and one specific thing the audience will leave with. That is enough. Nobody needs a marble plaque.
What should podcast hosts invite Naman to talk about?
Getting unstuck, career pivots, building before you feel ready, creator leverage, and the stretch between planning and actually doing the thing.
Where should outreach go?
LinkedIn is the cleanest route. Instagram works too. Short, human, specific notes beat overbuilt pitches every time.
