Frequently asked questions
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!
Dreamaniac is a free-to-air community Passion Project of Szebastian Onne G. S. (Founder, CEO of INTENT!ONAL , Dreamaniac TV, Un-Learn2ReBUILD) created, operated and supported free of cost by the volunteers across the global who work hard to bring this platform absolutely free to you.
SIMPLY COMPLETE OUR PROCESS WITH A SMILE AND EXCITEMENT – THAT IS ALL THE PAYMENT WE EVER NEED!
YOU CAN SUPPORT: You are always welcome to support us by ‘Buying us a Coffee or 10’ to keep our good work going!
YES and NO.
It is long, if you are looking for a drive-by experience one-time appearance with never wanting to do anything again with us after appearing on a single show/podcast, then YES.
It is not long, if like us, you want to build a relationship that provides you with an ongoing access to our INTENTIONAL NETWORK with 6+ Shows, 100K+ direct network and even wider Extended Outreach and growing.
- Quality: It is very important to us that every guest who joins our SIPL INTENTIONAL NETWORK has a powerful story, message or cause/campaign to share with our audience.
- Legal Compliance: We are also required to conform to our Compliance Guidelines, Copyright Laws and Responsible Content priorities.
- PRIORITY Invites! More importantly, most of our guests appear frequently and on multiple shows so this one time process not only helps us take care of all processes at once, but also ensure that all your repeat appearances are convenient and well curated for your message and you are among the first to be invited for any new call-outs.
- Unmatched Benefits: Besides the benefits that you receive as our ongoing guest are second to none and all of this is FREE.
- Constantly Growing: Our network is constantly growing with more than 350+ vetted guests and specialists and growing. Every month we get more than 500 applications and only 5-7 people get invited. Because relationship is a commitment not everyone is capable of offering and accepting, and we are super cool with that!
The process is very well thought, structured and intended and is explained step by step here.
PS: A cheeky but upfront thing – if our process is too much, we certainly aren’t meant for each other and that’s cool because relationships can only be built on mutual interest and intentions, right?
ZERO!
If your interest is ‘numbers’ (which we understand is important to many), we are not the right fit for you. In 2014, Our Founders, Szebastian, Hi-Tech Mother, Sue and Eddie came to a collective decision to never record or use stats to promote the work we do. We do not review, record or store any stats but we can assure you, we have had several guests whose message continues to inspire and impact many lives. While we will not record or share any stats, we can share with pride that we will make your message seen and heard timelessly, and time and again as long as we can!
Our guests includes TEDx and GoalCoast Speaker, Industry Leaders, Public Figures and they join us because they want to give to the community and share their message to our global and versatile audience.
We have proudly impacted several lives positively and are making a bigger, better, bolder change one episode at a time. All this for FREE and we are only interested in hearts and minds who are willing to join us on-air with similar approach and mindset. Anything additional achieved is a bonus and gladly enough, we accomplished a fair bit within first 2 years of our launch, and even 9 years later in 2022, we will say, we are only getting started!
Great Question, and glad you asked!
First things first, you can literally join us from any part of the globe, any room of your office, home, even garage (Just not the dunny though, alright?). That said, we do need to make sure that the broadcast featuring you presents you in the best possible quality and format so we do need you to have a reliable setup. Here’s what we recommend:
Mandatory Setup Items
ONE: Laptop or Desktop ONLY: We need you on a stationary desktop or laptop through out the Promo Recording, as well as during the show. This is necessary to make sure the video is stable, high quality and makes for a good viewing experience for our audience who will be watching you. We do not accept guests on a Mobile Device at this moment (like Phone, Tablet, Netbooks).
TWO: Chrome Browser: At this stage Google Chrome Browser is our most preferred one due to compatibility, reliability and quality experience with our Studio Service. While other browsers may work, we do not recommend them at this point in time.
THREE: Reliable High-Speed Broadband: Video Remote Recording and LIVE Streaming requires a decent broadband speed. We strongly recommend hard-wiring the laptop/desktop on the day of Promo-Recording and Actual Show Broadcast. This ensures your system gets priority bandwidth and video looks excellent. We also recommend taking all other devices in the premises off the wi-fi and network during the recordings and broadcasts for optimum results.
FOUR: Reliable Light and Sound: You need to attend both the P-SAT Session and actual Broadcast from a well-lit room with lights coming from behind your Laptop/PC and above you. The light source should not be behind you, or it will reflect into the camera and make for very difficult viewing experience for the audience.
For the sound, we recommend having a good microphone however, please keep a pair of earphone/headphones ready in case your system faces hollow sounds or echo issues.
In case you are interested, we recommend using Logitech Pro C922 camera as it solves lighting and sound problems and makes for a really good quality audio/video experience.
FIVE: Room Backdrop: If you have a green screen, that’s just excellent. However, even if you don’t, all you have to do is make sure your background looks tidy, elegant and does not have a ‘lot going on’. We recommend that it defines your style and branding and represents you professionally to your audience.
If you mean that can you bring your spouse, partner, friend or family member as a guest on the show, the answer is YES however there are riders.
- Every person appearing on our show, must submit a Guest Application and go through the complete P-SAT process
- The person attending the show with you needs to be a fit for the story/theme of your episode and this will be determined in the P-SAT Session
- An individual may not appear on the show unannounced and without having completed the P-SAT process
Absolutely not!

Excellent question – thought you would never ask!
If you are asking because you think we are asking for too much, it is highly likely we are not aligned. We keep things direct and honest. Let us not proceed.
If you are asking because you want to understand better, we appreciate you and here is the WHY –
At Dreamaniac TV, when you become a guest, you get access to the entire INTENTIONAL Network which includes but is not limited to:
- Priority invites to multiple shows whenever there is aligned topic or opportunity, as well as to virtual events to be one of the speakers. We have 6+ Video Shows (Recorded and LIVE) and 5+ Audio Podcasts (available on all major platforms).
- Exposure of your content to Over a 100,000 direct audience primarily based in US, Canada, UK, Australia and Europe and parts of Asia and Africa and growing.
- Not to mention, the Extended Outreach Probability of 1.4 million and growing.
- When we promote your appearance, we post across all major Social and Podcasting platforms (20+) by a vast network of in-house champions. The more you connect with us, the easier it is to tag you so we can let you know, and you can watch as your promotions as they publish on the connected networks.
- This is great for your SEO/Online Reputation too and you had to pay NOTHING!
- More importantly, we will keep promoting your episode in random drops throughout the year on various platforms because all our shows are evergreen, and our audience keeps finding value in them even after years.
- Also, if you connect and support the organizers, and other fellow guests, you receive the same love in return. How can anyone say no to receiving more love and support?
- We are unlike others, we don’t just have you as a once-off guest, we create relationships and bring you back as often as you can manage, with benefits like no other, all for free, for life. Now how can we justify all the benefits, efforts, and arduous work if you don’t even want to connect to us?
- All that said, we also prefer guests who are not in this for STATS but to get their message out there to anyone who may need it one day.
Still no interest in connecting? Ah well, maybe we weren’t meant to be!
We are so excited since all the social platforms are fighting for user attention we now have access to additional avenues.
Here’s a few:
Drop-in Audio Platforms: Follow us on all the major drop-in Audio platforms so you can be part of our upcoming drop-in audio events starting December 2021. We are on ClubHouse, Twitter Spaces, Spotify Green Room, Telegram LIVE and Amazon Live + Amazon Podcasts

You read that right. We do not produce content for numbers and ratings. Our pure focus is creating valuable content that inspires, educates and empowers our audience. Our audience is interactive and involved, however even if 1 person was watching, we’ll continue broadcasting regularly because entire purpose and goal of Dreamaniac is to create content that has life-changing conversations. We constantly get great feedback from guests and audience as well as some heart warming testimonials on how our shows have helped so many people. That is our statistic, reward and purpose for doing all of this. We are interested in guests who are interested in sharing their message unconditionally, and are driven by their purpose and not the numbers.
Not arrogant, just very clear about why we do this and that numbers will never drive us.
Our audience is very global, and versatile. From entrepreneurs to industry leaders, from home-makers to professionals, from students to retired, people from all walks of life watch our shows. It is both satisfying and encouraging that we have such broad range of demographic interested in our content.

Our guests include TEDx Speakers, GoalCoast Speakers, established Business & Industry Leaders, Coaches, Consultants, Designers, Influencers, Home-makers, Youth, Senior Citizens, Doctors, Consultants, Lawyers, Students, Celebrities and people from ordinary walks of life.
