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.

If you want to learn more about him, visit TheNewsletterGuru.com, or listen to his podcast Stick Like Glue Radio. If you want to book him for an interview, you can email me, Jessica@InterviewConnections.com. […]

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. […]

A lot of people ask me, what’s the secret to getting booked on popular podcasts? Just like in business, there is no ‘one thing’ or one secret that if implemented will get you booked! There are several factors that go into successfully getting you booked for interviews on popular podcasts and internet radio shows.

In this post, I want to focus on one important factor that is often a deal breaker for podcasters when deciding whether or not to interview someone- and that is first impressions. […]

Attention Speakers: Are you doing podcast interviews?

Posted on February 18, 2014 (December 20, 2022) by rockthecast

Speakers tend to be on the road a lot speaking to live audiences. This takes great skill, confidence, and the ability to speak in public and connect with an audience. But between live events, when you’re home at your office, how are you getting exposure to hundreds and thousands of people?

With Stitcher radio being installed in several makes and models of 2014 of 2015 cars, podcasts are going to be accessible to the masses and will be listened to by thousands upon thousands of people. Entrepreneurs who host their own podcast and upload their show to Itunes and Sticher radio are always looking for guest experts who have valuable content to share with their audience. As a speaker, getting interviewed on these podcasts has the power to expose you to thousands of potential followers, prospects and clients. […]

Schedule Once or Time Trade?

Posted on February 17, 2014 (December 19, 2022) by rockthecast

If you are not using an online scheduling tool to schedule your podcast interviews, or any appointments in your business for that matter, you are wasting serious time and money. The amount of time spent going back and forth in emails saying “Here are three times that work for me, what works for you?” And then having the other person saying “None of those times work for me, how about these times?”

If you are still doing that to schedule your interviews, or if you are paying your assistant to go back and forth scheduling your appointments that way, I beg you- stop now! […]

Interviews Bring Entrepreneurs Together!

Posted on September 14, 2013 (December 20, 2022) by rockthecast

The journey for an entrepreneur is a difficult one. We all have our ups and our downs and a quote I heard recently was that entrepreneurs are the only people that can be extremely happy and depressed in the same 24 hour period (I’m paraphrasing).

I recently launched a very exciting new business called Interview Connections (www.InterviewConnections.com) where I schedule guest experts for interviews on my client’s podcasts and radio shows. Things are starting to heat up and I gotta tell you- I’m having such a great time!!

First, people just love being interviewed; it positions them as successful entrepreneurs and gives them 30-60 minutes to be spotlighted; who wouldn’t love that?! […]
