Getting guests

November 14, 2016 by paul

meonmic I used to interview guests on my show, then eventually I went solo. But when I was interviewing, I received some big names like Jeff Olson (he wrote The Slight Edge), Mike Robbins (Hayhouse author), Dan Millman, and a few others. I learned a few things along the way when it came to connecting with people of interest, so I wanted to share many of the methods I used below.

And if you’re not well-known yet, don’t let it stop you from asking. I received many yes’s even though the guest never heard of me.

iTunes reviews

It happens to the best of us. We’re reading through all the reviews of our podcast filling up on a healthy dose of pride, then we see the one (or more) reviews that stop our heart for a second because of how awful it is.

Example review that isn’t too far from truth:
“This might be the worst show I’ve ever heard. The audio sounds like it’s coming from a tin can and I’ve heard this very same interview on 12 other shows. The host interrupts constantly and just sounds like he’s reading a script. If I hear ‘Wow, that’s powerful’ one more time, I’m going to vomit. I highly recommend you avoid this show and listen to one of the thousand other shows that really do podcasting right.”
