In my episode of Interview Connections TV this week, I answered a question from a viewer who wanted to know how I craft my emails when I book great guests for my client’s podcasts at InterviewConnections.com. Basically, he wanted to know what script I use.
The reason I was excited to answer this question in my video as well as in this blog post is because there is a huge misconception out there that a scripted email works. And in reality, it’s just flat out ineffective. Well, let me step back. You will book podcast guests with a form email. But the rate at which you will be successful will be a lot lower! […]
My career before entrepreneurship was a fun and adventure filled life of canvassing door to door for an environmental non profit. Knocking on doors 4 hours per day, 5 days per week, asking strangers who did not know I was coming for money, signatures, and hand written letters.

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. […]
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. […]
