Frequently Asked Questions

What questions will I be asked?

1. Tell us about yourself

2. Lessons Learned (area of expertise or profession)

3. Best piece of advice (professional or personal)

  • There may be other questions that come up about your areas or expertise or experiences. The goal is to keep the podcast flow authentic so we try not to over prep and script.

I am not the best public speaker, how can I still sound like I know what I am talking about?

  • First of all, do any of us really know what we are talking about? In all seriousness, you are only speaking with the host during the recording and chances are if you are reading this now… you know what you are talking about!

What if I totally space out and forget my words?

  • The podcast will be edited to ensure the best listening experience for the audience and recording experience for you!

  • Although it’s uncommon to need to, We can discuss any things we might want to cut after the recording.

  • We try to keep the podcast at 30mn or less. Certain content may be cut to size it down. Other items are edited/cut to create a smooth sounding recording.

    • ums, lips smacks, distracting background sounds, irrelevant chatter

  • The less editing the better; here are some things to keep in mind.

    • Try not overuse “um” or “yeah”

    • Sounds are picked up very easily

    • Take your time and speak at a normal pace

    • It’s ok if there is a pause (that can be cut)

    • Leave pauses between speakers to minimize overlap

  • Relax and have fun!
