How I Prepare for My Podcast Interviews

In this episode, I share my 10-step podcast interview planning blueprint: 𝟭. 𝗗𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵: without question, the most important step is actually learning about the guest. I don’t short-change this part of the process. I listen to other podcasts they’ve been on, read their book(s), look deep into their #socialmedia (old and new posts), use Wikipedia (talk section), read book reviews (positive and negative), read articles, etc. - the goal is to find interesting facts, powerful insights, impactful stories, as well as avoid questions they're asked in every interview 𝟮. 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀: I order all the notes according to the flow that I outline below 𝟯. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴: I like to start with a question they've never been asked before. I try to tap into an emotion, either laughter or tears. Example: (funny) I asked a guest if it would be okay if I ate some Pez to start and pulled out a Pez dispenser because he’s from the birthplace of Pez. (emotion) I read a letter that Jeff Harry ’s father wrote to him before he died. He was shocked and touched 𝟰. 𝗢𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: I ask a few origin stories at the beginning to find out what early-life experiences helped to influence who they are today. Example: Chris Do - Why is April 30, 1975 a significant date to you? (this was the day his family immigrated to US from Vietnam) 𝟱. 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: I ask questions about times in their life where the was a significant shift or pivot 𝟲. 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: I want to tap into their expertise/zone of genius by asking them questions that'll allow them to shine. These are questions that'll yield practical advice that can be implemented. I tie this back to their own life story. The best answers are step-by-step frameworks 𝟳. 𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆: Based on my research I know their frameworks and concepts so I have clarifying follow-up questions on standby to emphasize key points. I include bulleted details under my questions so I can bring more depth to the conversation 𝟴. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗣𝗢𝗩 (𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗶𝗲𝘄): Listeners don’t want to hear the same thing they’ve heard a million times before. They want new information delivered in a novel way. I look for my guest’s unique perspectives. James Carbary taught me to ask this question "what is a commonly held belief in your industry that you passionately disagree with?" 𝟵. 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗨𝗽: I have all their CTAs, websites, books, and social medial handles ready. I say “you can learn more from…” then

In this episode, we talk about her experience in PR and how it played a role in her success. We learn how she started her show, her approach to landing guests, how she approaches her interviews, and what she does to promote her show.

The Little Things to Promote Your Show - Harry Duran

Alright, I admit it...I'm a podcast junkie...and so is my guest today Harry Duran . In fact, he is such a junkie he even named his show Podcast Junkies . I've known about Harry and his show ever since reading an article he wrote about other podcasts that are about podcasting: The Incredibly Exhaustive List of Podcasts about Podcasts.  He also runs FullCast , a podcast production agency. He is an absolute wealth of knowledge and I love his casual and friendly approach. Like most podcasters, he doesn't look at others in the space as competition, but rather as partners and collaborators. Even though I have a podcast about podcasts and I just started my own agency he was more than willing to share his knowledge and I am confident will find it incredibly valuable. We learned about his approach to interviewing, some ninja tricks to find great podcast guests, and an amazing recipe he has to get guests to share their show with their audience. Having worked with countless podcaster's he has tried and experimented it with all kinds of strategies and I'm excited to share them with you!

The Cliff Ravenscraft Story: The Beginning

If you've been in podcasting long enough my guest needs no introduction. But just in case you aren't familiar with the legendary Cliff Ravenscraft, let me share a little bit about him: In 2005, he began podcasting as a hobby with a show about the TV series Lost. A year later he launched his show the Podcast Answer Man which led to him helping tens of thousands of individuals and organizations successfully launch a podcast through one-on-one coaching and online courses.  If you were to look at the top 100 podcasts in the business category of Apple Podcasts, more than 50 of these shows were created by clients who he has personally coached. Today, he is the host of the Cliff Ravenscraft Show and has a successful life coaching and business. It was a true honor to sit down with the legend himself to hear his story. He was nice enough to give me over two hours of his time so I’ve broken it up into two parts.  In this episode, he’ll share his story of how he got his start, how faith plays a role in his life, and the advice he has for anyone starting out. My goal for this interview was to get to know Cliff, the person, and I would say Cliff delivered.  Cliff's Website: https://www.cliffravenscraft.com/ Mindsetanswerman.com/free Cliff on Social Media: https://twitter.com/cliffeotc https://www.facebook.com/cliffeotc/ https://www.youtube.com/user/cliffeotc https://www.instagram.com/cliffeotc/ Cliff's Podcasts: Cliff Ravenscraft Show Podcast Answer Man Pursuing A Balanced Life Family From the Heart Encouraging Others Through Christ Hunger Games Fan Podcast Twilight Saga Podcast Virtual Assistant Podcast Weekly Lost Podcast Authentic Life Radio Successful Life Mindset Balanced Living Weekly Almost Daily Devotional Full Time Mom Social Media Serenity Business Tech Weekly Help I Got A Mac Doctor Who Fan Podcast Community Voice Desperate Housewives Grey's Anatomy <a href="https://gspn

The Psychology of Finding Your Voice - Emmanuella Grace

As a podcaster, our instrument is our voice. The microphone and RSS feed may amplify our voice, but without our voice, we would not have a podcast. I found today’s guest, Emmanuella Grace , when doing research about the voice.  Her insights impressed me so much and I knew she would provide a ton of value so I invited her on the show.  As a high-performance voice coach for more than two decades, she’s helped 1000’s of people with their voice. Her program is built on a foundation of science and years of research. What’s crazy to me is how little attention we pay to our voice. Unless we use our voice professionally we just take it for granted. And even when we use our voice professionally we may take it for granted.  What I love about Emmanuella’s approach is it is holistic. Her insights on the voice will help you master the instrument that only you can play.

How to Get on 60 Podcasts in 6 Months - Popcorn Episode

How did Jeff Harry get on 60 podcasts in 6 months? He has a strategy that includes DM/email outreach to podcasters. In this short "Popcorn Episode" I breakdown his highly effective message into 9 parts: 1 - Let the host know you know their show. Say something specific 2 - Ask if the host has explored the area in which you have expertise. Briefly describe what you do 3 - Share a link that will help build credibility for your work (a book, article, speech, interview, video, etc) 4 - Suggest topics you would feel comfortable talking about. Remember that the host wants to know how you can provide VALUE to their audience. Suggest questions you could answer that would serve that specific audience 5 - Include social proof, accolades, credentials, awards to demonstrate why you stand out from the crowd 6 - Make your intention clear by stating how you would make an impact on the listeners. Include a link to previous #podcasts you’ve been on 7 - Offer to be a guest. Don’t ask. This is a subtle but important distinction. Notice how Jeff doesn’t say “can I be on your podcast?” as a question, instead he casually says “if any of this resonates, I’d love to continue this conversation” - Don’t beg to be on a #podcast …OFFER to be on one! 8 - Be upbeat, positive, and friendly 9 - Include a link to your most important online asset (website, social media profile, etc) This breaks down Jeff 's email, but this only part of his strategy. Check out his blog post that gives even greater insights into how he landed 60 interviews in 6 months: https://www.rediscoveryourplay.com/post/how-i-got-on-60-podcasts-in-the-last-6-months To check out Jeff 's interview on InsightOut check out these links: Apple: https://apple.co/2IQMIG9 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2Tfz4hL Google: https://bit.ly/31v2mO4 Website: https://bit.ly/34juoOf You can also learn more about the amazing work he does to help people unleash their inner child

But if you're looking to listen to a story about someone who's been podcasting from the very beginning for the love of the craft more than anything else, then you're going to love hearing Tee’s story.  In this episode, we talk about why, for years, he doubted if writing a for dummies book was a good idea He candidly shares his journey as a podcaster from the early days. He was literally the first podcaster to read a novel cover to cover.  And we explore why he’s fallen in love with Twitch and why he believes more podcasters should do the same.  Tee’s not doing this for the money, he’s doing it for the love, and as you see he’s not stopping any time soon.
