Okay, I need to share something wild with you.

I uploaded my book The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint into Google LM Notebook (think: a tool like ChatGPT), and asked it to summarise the key concepts. What it gave me? Not just a summary—but a full-on, human-sounding podcast-style conversation between two people.

And honestly? If I didn’t know it was AI, I wouldn’t believe it either.

In this episode, you’ll hear that conversation—think of it as a friendly, curious duo discovering the SPARK framework, why we need to stop cramming info into our sessions, and how to finally design workshops people actually want to attend.

Here’s what it covers:

Why more content ≠ more value
A breakdown of the SPARK framework (Set up, Power up, Activities, Review, Keep)
Why it’s okay to end a workshop early
The power of designing for experience over information
How to energise your participants before you’ve even started

✨ Whether you’re a facilitator, trainer, expert, or just someone who wants to make meetings better—this one’s for you.

Let me know what you think. Are you as mind-blown as I was? Hit reply, drop a comment, or voice note me on Insta.

Enjoy!
