Ready to energize and impact more people on podcasts, summits, and virtual events?
Whether youâre a host or a guest expert, toss out your list of questions.
You've gotta trust yourself and let things flow naturally.
From my experience, the most memorable interviews are just easy, casual conversations.
They're enjoyable for the host, guest, AND audience!
People remember intriguing conversations, stories, personalities, and takeaways.
When others like what they hear and see, theyâll...

Hosts and guests who trust themselves (and each other) aren't rigid or stuck to a script.
They look forward to something spicy coming up.
They expect to hear a nugget that's fresh and intriguing.
They feel comfortable not knowing each word and question.

A magazine reporter, Rasheeda, emailed me to request an interview.
â¨No pitching.
â¨No press releases.
â¨No chasing.

Hundreds of people over the years have asked me why reporters and podcasters are so dang hard to reach.
Why are they grumpy, uninterested and non-responsive?
Hereâs the secret:
Ninety-five percent of the pitches and âgreat story ideasâ that are sent are irrelevant. They aren't newsworthy. They aren't valuable and âworthyâ of an audienceâs attention and interest.
It's that simple.
I was a radio news reporter and on-air anchor. I received thousands of pitches during my 10-year career in newsrooms in New Jersey and New York.
I decided what was newsworthy. I was the gatekeeper.
My audience depended on my sound judgement to share important, compelling and interesting stories that affected them. The same is true today with reportersâand podcasters. They want subject matter expertsâpeople like YOU! Â
