Terms of Service
Effective date: September 27, 2026
These terms apply when you use theslidepodcast.net or buy anything from The SLiDE, operated by Embreeo Global Solutions LLC. By taking the quiz, making a purchase, or booking a session, you agree to them.
What we offer
| Offer | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| S.T.O.R.Y. Quiz | Free | An automated result emailed to you: Certified, Not Yet, or Bigger Than a Podcast. |
| Official S.T.O.R.Y. Certification | $97, one time | Online lessons, plus a written capstone and a 3–5 minute video pilot reviewed personally by Tavares K. Bethel. If you pass, you get an official certificate, a personalized ebook of your capstone, access to the community call every other Thursday while it runs, and 90 days of The SLiDE Circle free, no card required. |
| Story Lab | $19/month | A weekly exercise in The SLiDE Circle’s Story Lab channel, feedback from other members, and the community call every other Thursday. What you pay counts toward the $97 Certification, up to $97, applied as a coupon when you pass a quiz retake. |
| The SLiDE Circle | $29/month or $290/year | Our private community: Ship It sessions, Guest Swap, launch sprints, the monthly Welcome Call, and pods as cohorts form. The first 50 members keep their founding price for as long as they stay subscribed. |
| 1:1 Spotlight Session | $197 per session | A private 60-minute Zoom session with Tavares K. Bethel, a build-first roadmap, and consideration as a featured show on The SLiDE. |
Featured-show consideration is not a guarantee of a feature. We choose featured shows at our discretion.
Payments
Payments are processed securely by Stripe. Your card statement will show BETHEL THE SLIDE. Prices are in U.S. dollars. Certification is a one-time payment with no subscription.
Story Lab and The SLiDE Circle are subscriptions. They renew automatically each month or year until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from your account or by emailing us, and your access continues until the end of the period you paid for. The free 90 days after certification end automatically. You are only charged if you choose to join.
Refunds and rescheduling
All sales are final. The Official S.T.O.R.Y. Certification ($97) and the 1:1 Spotlight Session ($197) are non-refundable. You may reschedule a 1:1 Spotlight Session up to two times. After a second reschedule, a missed session forfeits the payment.
Subscription payments are non-refundable. Canceling stops future charges.

No guarantees
Our quiz, certification, and sessions are educational guidance based on what you share with us. They are not a promise of audience size, downloads, income, or any other result. Your success depends on your own work and circumstances.
Community call and The SLiDE Circle conduct
The community call and The SLiDE Circle are for podcasters to review each other’s work and find partners. The same rules apply on calls and in posts, pods, and Guest Swap. Be respectful. Don’t record, share, or sell other members’ ideas without their permission. We may remove anyone who disrupts the community or abuses other members from the call or The SLiDE Circle, without refund.
Your content and ours
Your story, quiz answers, capstone, and video pilot remain yours. You allow us to use them only to deliver our services to you. We will not publish them without your permission. Our site, quiz, emails, certificate design, and materials belong to The SLiDE, and you may not copy or resell them.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us for the service involved. We are not liable for indirect or consequential damages.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
Changes
We may update these terms. The effective date above shows the latest version.
