The Format

Each episode runs about 15 minutes and follows a consistent structure:

1. We start with the problem.
   We begin by digging into why a specific issue continues to challenge Acumatica customers, even as ERP platforms get more capable. The goal is clarity around root causes, not surface symptoms.
2. We talk about what breaks when it’s ignored.
   What tends to go wrong first? Who feels the pain? What are the hidden consequences? This part benefits from concrete examples and real-world patterns.
3. Your journey to a solution.
   We’ll ask about your experience navigating this issue. What approaches did you try? What didn’t work? What were the biggest pitfalls or false starts along the way?

This is where listeners really connect. They want to hear the decision-making process, not just the outcome.

4. The solution and results.
   We’ll explore what ultimately worked and what results customers have seen. This can include process changes, architectural decisions, tools, or frameworks. The emphasis is on outcomes and lessons, not a sales pitch.

5. Ecosystem perspective.
   We close with our signature question about someone in the Acumatica ecosystem who has influenced your thinking. This keeps the conversation grounded in collaboration and shared learning.

We wrap by giving listeners a clear way to connect with you if they want to continue the conversation.

What We’re Looking For

The strongest expert episodes include:

• Specific examples, not general statements
• Clear explanation of trade-offs and pitfalls
• Honest reflections on what didn’t work
• Practical advice others can apply

Listeners value transparency. They’re trying to avoid mistakes and make better decisions. Your experience helps them do that.

How to Prepare

You don’t need a script. In fact, the conversation works best when it feels natural.

Before recording, we’ll align on:

• The exact problem we’re focusing on
• A few examples you can reference
• How listeners can reach you after the episode

If needed, the host will gently redirect or probe to keep the discussion concrete and useful.

Promotion & Visibility

Each episode will:

• Be published on the acu-connect platform
• Have a dedicated episode page
• Include your contact information or preferred link
• Be promoted through acu-connect channels

You’ll receive the final recording to share with your network.

Why Participate?

This format positions you as:

• A trusted voice in the Acumatica ecosystem
• A practitioner with real-world experience
• A thoughtful problem-solver

It’s an opportunity to contribute to the broader conversation and help the community make smarter decisions.

If you’re interested, we’ll coordinate scheduling and confirm the topic before recording.
