Alpha Live Scripts
🗣️ The Alpha "scripts" are for speakers to present a customized live talk (no videos). They are not a word-for-word transcription of the current Alpha videos.
The script templates are based on the classic Alpha with Nicky videos. They include colour-coded sections to indicate which sections can be personalized with the speaker's stories and which sections must stay true to the Alpha brand.
When registering your course, choose "Alpha scripts" if you'd like this option.
