- Full transcript: {{TRANSCRIPT}}
- Episode runtime: {{RUNTIME}}
- Episode angle (the one thing it's really about): {{ANGLE}}
TASK
Produce show notes with:
## Episode title (under 60 chars — SEO-aware, names guest + the angle, no clickbait)
## One-paragraph summary (under 100 words — front-loaded with the most useful insight)
## 3 things you'll learn (bullets — each a specific takeaway, not "the importance of X")
## Timestamps (every 3-5 min — each is a topic, not a transcript paraphrase. Format: MM:SS — Topic)
## 5 most quotable lines (each under 25 words, attributed)
## Guest links (LinkedIn, Twitter, company, book if relevant)
## Resources mentioned (every book, person, tool, study referenced — with link or attribution)
## Subscribe + share CTA (in the host's voice — single specific ask)
