Yes. Use this form if you would like to be on the show, contribute to an article, or have recommendations for people with advice or a development story to share. The key to being successfully chosen includes factors including but not limited to:

  • A clear professional brand (you’ve established yourself; this doesn’t mean years of experience).

How often IS new CONTENT released?

Content is released once a month - sometimes more frequently (Cheat Code episodes are generally published in between normal editions). Content is also organized by seasons, noting that the break in seasons is dictated by content, not the number of episodes/editions/posts. The length of the content varies based on the topic being covered.
