Be a guest

Come on the morning show.

Every weekday at 7am CT, Casey and Chris spend twelve minutes on one thing worth paying attention to in HubSpot and the broader ecosystem. Guests don't present — they show up with one thing they've been paying attention to, and the conversation finds its own shape from there.

What to expect every morning

Forty-five minutes live. Four signature segments. One wheel that never repeats.

Top Updates from Yesterday

Yesterday's HubSpot release feed, paraphrased and pressure-tested. Chris reads three to five updates the way you'd want a friend to: what actually changed, who it actually affects.

Object of the Day

Casey picks one HubSpot object and tells you what it's really for, what most people get wrong about it, and what to do tomorrow morning. Quietly building the archive episode by episode.

Spin the wheel

Will it Workflow?

The wheel spins live, lands on Object × App × Use Case Casey didn't pre-vet, and we argue Will it? Should it? How? Combos retire on contact — the wheel forgets nothing and never repeats.

PM Spotlight / Friend Deep Dive

A HubSpot PM in the chair walks through the update they shipped, or a Friend opens up their lane and shows their work. The slot the show slows down for.

The guests

Who comes on the show

Another Orange Morning runs on two kinds of guests: a rotating Friends bench and first-timers who have something worth saying.

The Friends rotation

A small group of regular collaborators — people Casey knows, trusts, and enjoys thinking out loud with — rotate through the fourth segment on a loose schedule. They know the show, they know each other, and they come prepared to be honest rather than polished.

Current Friends include:

  • Trisha Merriam — longtime collaborator, sharp on strategy and self-awareness
  • Madelyn Donovan (Basis Inbound) — brings the practitioner lens and keeps it honest
  • The bench — a small group of rotating Friends Casey maintains intentionally

First-timers with something worth saying

The best PM Spotlight episodes come from people who've just figured something out, or who see something in HubSpot that nobody else is talking about. You don't need a big audience or a polished take — you need one honest observation and a willingness to think in public for twelve minutes.

Casey will tell you what she's thinking for your lane before the show. You'll have fifteen minutes together in the green room at 7am CT before you go live. Come with one thing. The wheel takes care of the rest.

The Friends bench is intentionally small and personally curated by Casey. First-timer spots are open — apply below.

Three paths

How to get on the show

1

A Friend brings you in

The most common path. Someone already in Casey's orbit knows you, trusts you, and passes your name along. If that's you, great — you probably already know it.
