About this site

A note on the history of this domain, the podcast that once lived here, and who publishes these guides today.

The show that lived here before

For a number of years, this domain was home to This Sacred Life, a podcast hosted by Shann Vander Leek. The show explored soulful living and wisdom teachings, and it featured conversations with guest authors and teachers. Podcast directories such as Podash listed it.

We want to say clearly and with gratitude: that podcast made something real for its listeners and guests, and this site is not a continuation of it.

Who publishes this site now

This site is not the original podcast. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Shann Vander Leek or the original show. When the domain became available, it was acquired by the team behind ViceForge, an AI tool that turns long videos into short clips. ViceForge is mentioned in some of the guides here, where it is genuinely useful.

If you arrived looking for the original episodes, we are sorry we cannot point you to them from here. Searching for the show and its host by name is the most reliable way to find what is still available.

What this site is for

Because the domain carries a history of long, thoughtful conversations, we chose to use it for guides that respect that kind of work. The guides are written for podcasters, interviewers, coaches and their guests who want to share meaningful short clips without hype, shortcuts or burnout.

  • We write practical, original guides and mark every example as hypothetical.
  • We do not invent statistics, studies or quotes.
  • When we describe a platform rule, we link to the platform's own help page.
  • When we mention ViceForge, we describe only what it actually does.

Where to start

If you host interviews, begin with how to clip a long interview without losing its meaning. If you were a guest on a show and want to share your episode, read turning guest interviews into Shorts, which has a section written just for guests and authors.
