What a host reads before they introduce you — and what convinces them to book you in the first place. This template gives you both: the bio they read, and the pitch that gets you on.
A host says yes when you make their job easy: a clear bio, the topics you bring, and the angles their audience will lean in for. Write the bio in third person and the topics as their listeners would feel them. Saves automatically.
The Pattern Unblocker
Blanking on topics? You’re filtering for what sounds impressive. Wrong filter. List the three things people always ask you about — the ones you could speak to with no notes. Those are your topics.
01
The Intro Line
Read aloud
The single line the host reads to introduce you. One breath, third person, identity-first.
Example
Keisha Kells is the creator of the Permission Pattern™ and author of The Cost of Admission.
02
The Guest Bio
~60 words
The paragraph for show-notes. Identity, the idea you're known for, who you serve, one proof point.
Example
Keisha Kells is an author and strategist, and the creator of the Permission Pattern™ — a framework for closing the gap between who you are and what you've built. Through Permission Granted™, she helps capable women turn who they've become into work the world can finally see.
03
Topics You Bring
Three to five conversations you can carry — framed the way a listener would feel them, not as dry titles. These tell a host their audience will care.
Example
· Why your business can work and still not feel like yours · The difference between building from the outside in vs. the inside out · Why visibility feels unsafe — and what's actually underneath it
04
The Pitch
For booking
The short, warm note you send to get booked. Why you, why their show, what their audience walks away with. Not a hard sell — a useful offer.
Example
I loved your episode on [topic]. I work with women who are capable and quietly underexpressed — and I think your audience would feel the conversation about why a business can "work" and still not fit. Happy to share the framework your listeners can use the same day.

Draft it in minutes.
Paste a prompt into ChatGPT or Claude, swap the [brackets] for your notes above, and let it draft — then bring it back here and make it yours. The prompt already carries your brand voice.
Prompt 1 · Draft my podcast bio + pitch
Act as my publicist. My identity: [name + what you are]. The idea I’m known for: [framework]. Who I help and toward what: [person + transformation]. One proof point: [credential]. Write four things: a one-line intro a host reads aloud, a 60-word guest bio in third person, four topics framed from the listener’s side, and a warm one-paragraph booking pitch. Voice: a thoughtful guide, not a motivational coach. Write to "you." Recognition over persuasion. No hype, no exclamation points, no emoji — plain, literary sentences with the occasional em-dash turn.
Prompt 2 · Turn my expertise into episode angles
My work: [describe]. Give me eight podcast episode angles a host would say yes to — each framed as a benefit the audience feels, not a dry topic title. Voice: a thoughtful guide, not a motivational coach. Write to "you." Recognition over persuasion. No hype, no exclamation points, no emoji — plain, literary sentences with the occasional em-dash turn.
