FAQ's
How do I schedule an interview on the podcast?
If you do not already have a slot on my calendar, then you can pick a time that is convenient for you here (DIRECT CALENDLY LINK).
What should I do to prepare for the interview?
Just be cool, calm, and relaxed. It's nothing more than a chat between friends. No need to make it something more than it is. For most of the conversation, we will just go with the flow but I will for sure ask you these three questions:
- Can you give us a little background on your personal life and your story? (This is where the conversation will start)
- Why did you start your business?
- What has been the biggest struggle and what did you do (or are you doing) to overcome it?
Do I need any special equipment for the podcast?
- Obviously audio quality is really important for a podcast, so if you have an external microphone that would be great! If you don’t, no worries...it’s not the end of the world.
- Be at your computer when we do the interview and not on your mobile phone. You can plug-in your mic or headphones into the computer and be ready to go.
- Zencastr is over the internet, so make sure you have a quality stream of wifi available. Zencastr costs absolutely nothing for you. You’ll click the link included in your calendar invite. Please note: the link will not immediately be available in your calendar event but I will be sure to add it before the schedule time we have together.
How long will the interview take?
Plan on anywhere between 30 minutes to 1 hour, or if you’re a talker, longer. :)
What questions will you ask?
Most of it will be free-flow and I will often try to dive into the details but there are a few things I will surely ask including:
- Can you give us a little background on your personal life and your story? (This is where the conversation will start)
- Why did you start your business?
- What has been the biggest struggle and what did you do (or are you doing) to overcome it?
Is it ok to promote my business/side-gig/product?
For sure, I’m sure it will come up in the discussion and I will also give you a chance at the end to plug your product/service.
How long before it will be live?
Honestly, it all depends on how many episodes I have in the queue. It may take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
