Dubsado Setup For Podcast Application

How I Helped Ramit Sethi, star of “How To Get Rich”, slash podcast admin time by 10 hours a week with a Dubsado setup

The client

Ramit Sethi, author and entrepreneur, is best known for his Netflix show How To Get Rich, his book I Will Teach You to Be Rich, and his popular podcast where he interviews couples navigating financial stress.

The problem

Ramit Sethi's team approached me to get their chaotic podcast process streamlined and automated. Every month they were slogging through mountains of manual tasks like:
  • Pre-qualifying applications.
  • Sending podcast contracts.
  • Scheduling podcast sessions.
  • Preparing necessary documents for applicants.

Too many platforms spoil the podcast making fun

Ramit’s team were also using multiple platforms—JotForm, PandaDoc, and Google Sheets. Most tasks, like scheduling interviews, prepping materials, and sending out the crucial conscious spending document to each guest, were again, done manually.

Chaos central

This chaotic process overwhelmed the podcast manager, Heather, and consumed valuable time. With live events launching across the US, the team urgently needed a streamlined, automated system to simplify everything and scale efficiently.

The dream, the vision, the ultimate goal

Create a hands-off, chaos-free, automated system to manage podcast applications, freeing up time for the team to focus on producing the high-quality podcast episodes Ramit Sethi is known for.

The new system needed to reduce manual workload and efficiently manage applications, allowing the team to scale the podcast and live events with ease (good thing making businesses easier to run is basically my mission 😏)

Project walkthrough

Every project begins with a detailed ‘dirt digging’ consultation, where I find out every need and pain point the client has. I then map out every workflow and identify every step that can be automated using Dubsado. 

What I did 

Custom Forms and Workflows

Lead Capture Forms:

  • Replaced JotForm with custom Dubsado forms.
  • Added custom fields to zap into their Google Sheet for client qualification.

Contract Management:

  • Integrated contract templates with smart fields in Dubsado, removing the need for PandaDoc.

Scheduling:

  • Automated scheduling using Dubsado’s native feature, synced with Google Calendar.

Document Preparation:

  • Created questionnaires linked to the Conscious Spending Plan and other docs, automating delivery upon application approval.

Automating Communication

Email Templates:

  • Built canned email templates for each stage, from application to offboarding.

Client Portal:

  • Created a branded and personalised portal for applicants to access contracts, schedules, and documents.

In-Person Event Integration

With Ramit’s team starting in-person events across the US, we mapped this Dubsado setup to handle applications and onboarding for these in-person events as well:

Event-Specific Lead Capture Forms:

  • Developed forms tailored for in-person events.

Automated Onboarding:

  • Set up workflows to handle the entire onboarding process, from contract delivery to final event confirmations with custom details.

The new normal (basically what happens after I leave and everyone gets to enjoy their new chaos-free system) 

Heather now finds managing the application process effortless. With only four simple tasks requiring her approval—like adding the second project for partner applications—everything else runs smoothly on autopilot. Each task is linked to a quick Loom video, making the process clear and easy to follow.

Want to be as laid back as Heather? Fancy fixing your workflow and reclaiming  your time?
