At the GKIC Superconference I met with another very special guest for a quick interview, Jim Palmer, who happens to be my dad! He is of course a very successful and well-respected entrepreneur, and podcaster, known internationally as the Newsletter Guru and host of Stick Like Glue Radio.

The Leaderboard – A fantastic idea for podcasters

Posted on April 14, 2014 (December 21, 2022) by rockthecast

I’ve gotta tell you, I was extremely humbled and excited to hear from my friend and client, Gene Hammett when he emailed me to share that I was number 1 on his podcast leader board, which means I had gotten more downloads than any other episode!

A leader board is a new idea that I’ve been seeing pop up on podcast websites. It spotlights the top 5 guests with the most downloads and I have to say…I really love this idea! […]

When I was in Dallas, Texas at the GKIC Superconference, I met up with many of my favorite guest experts and podcasters, including Nile Nickel, a good friend of mine. I was lucky enough to do a quick interview with him on Interview Connections TV.

Nile is the expert behind linkedinfocus.com, where he helps people to really leverage the power of LinkedIn, which is one of the most effective social media platforms for businesses. He is the host of a radio show called Social Media Business Hour which you can listen to live on Mondays at 7:00 Eastern Time on Life Improvement Radio. He’s also given over 300 interviews in the past year, so he really knows what it takes to be a great host as well what it takes to be a really informative and interesting guest. I asked him to share with us some tips on this topic. […]

Providing Value in Your Interviews

Posted on April 9, 2014 (December 21, 2022) by rockthecast

In this week’s episode of Interview Connections TV, I interviewed James Malinchak, Big Money Speaker. James was featured on ABC’s Secret Millionaire and every 6 months, he hosts a fantastic live event in Los Angeles; Big Money Speaker Boot Camp where he shows people how to become speakers.

James is an entrepreneur who stands out as someone who believes in providing immense value to his clients and to his followers. As a podcast guest, when you provide value to the listeners, you are building a strong foundation on which you can build profitable relationships in your business. […]

How to have more authentic interviews

Posted on April 7, 2014 (December 20, 2022) by rockthecast

If you invite a guest onto your podcast who is interesting, knowledgeable and successful, the odds are that they have given many interviews before, meaning that they will have ready-made responses and go-to stories for most questions. On the one hand this is great, because they have probably polished those answers to perfection, but on the other it can also make your content sound a bit scripted; a bit of a routine exercise for the interviewee.

To avoid this, you have to somehow surprise them with questions they aren’t asked a lot, questions that can get them off their usual script and that can help to achieve a free-flowing, natural conversation. This will really help your listeners understand the mindset and story of the guest; they will open up more and will give you an interview that is really special. […]

Forget Statistics!!

Posted on April 3, 2014 (December 20, 2022) by rockthecast

I work with a lot of entrepreneurs booking them as guest experts on other podcasts and there is a common misconception that many people have…

A lot of entrepreneurs think that when deciding on whether or not they should appear on a podcast as a guest, the most important thing they should consider is how many listeners the show has. Although appearing on a very succesful show is of course very beneficial for you, I encourage everyone not to use statistics as a deal breaker. […]

How to get your guests promote your podcast

Posted on March 30, 2014 (December 20, 2022) by rockthecast

One question I get asked a lot from my clients at Interview Connections is How do I get my guests to promote their interviews? and a few people even said they are considering requiring the guest to do so. Hear me loud and clear: requiring your guests to promote your show is a very bad idea!

You have to take having interviewees on your podcast as seriously as if they were guests in your home.

Last week my son Nathan had his first birthday party and one of my friends called me to ask what kind of gift they should bring. I told her of course that she shouldn’t bring anything, that the only thing I wanted was her company. […]

How to be a great podcast host

Posted on March 19, 2014 (December 20, 2022) by rockthecast

A big mistake a lot of new podcasters make is they start the podcast focusing too much on how it’s going to get them new clients, grow their list and make them more of a celebrity. If this is your mindset, people will sense that and not feel the need to share your show on social media!

If you have guests on your show, make sure you put the spotlight all on them! Focus on their story, their expertise and their business. […]

Unless you host your own podcast or do a ton of interviews and have invested in a good microphone, you may blow it with sound quality your first time behind the ‘mic.’

Here are some tips for getting great sound quality as a guest expert- who doesn’t want to spend a fortune on a microphone and a mixer! […]
