Why Jacksonville

The first two conversations
Two episodes to open with.
Why make it here?
A manufacturer on choosing Northeast Florida for talent, access and long term production.
The factory after automation.
An operator on where technology changes the work and where people remain irreplaceable.

- 06The next generation of skilled work
What it costs
Nothing. Mabbly funds the first two episodes.
I co founded Mabbly, and it funds this because Jacksonville is worth documenting.
Hosting obligates you to nothing.
How we hostHow this works
Two episodes first. The season is earned.
Step 1
Conversation
We talk about the show, the vertical and the people you want in the chair.
Step 2
Two episode pilot
We produce two episodes end to end. Mabbly funds them. You pay nothing.
Step 3
Greenlight
We decide together after episode two. If the guests you wanted said yes and the conversations were good, the show moves forward.
Step 4
Season
Twelve episodes, two a month, across six months.
Step 5
The season is sponsored
Mabbly continues as the sponsor, or advisor.TV brings in a category sponsor whose business belongs near that conversation. You never pay and you are never asked to sell it.
Nothing here promises a permanent show. A pilot earns a season, and a season earns the next one.
The conversation compounds
One good conversation produces the next one.
- Plant conversation
- Supplier introduction
- Next manufacturer
- Permanent archive
You lead the conversation. advisor.TV handles everything else.
- PrepareGuest research, subject preparation and the questions worth asking.
- RecordStudio, cameras, sound and direction in Ponte Vedra.
- PublishEditing, publishing and distribution, then the permanent archive.
1,000+
conversations recorded since 2014. 410 browsable today, the rest being restored from the vault.
- Produced in Chicago, and now in Jacksonville.
- Microsoft sponsored the Chicago era.
- Mabbly is the founding Jacksonville sponsor.
Nobody builds alone.
The platform can be sponsored. The conversation cannot be bought.
One show. One trusted voice. Two conversations to begin.
