#167 Behind the Scenes of the Beyond Influential Podcast: Getting Started, My Interview Process, and How I Pitch & Connect with Dream Guests
Beyond Influential
How Long Does It Take to Do the Interviews?
A couple hours usually per interview at least. It depends on, not only depending on what their expertise is, but also depending on how saturated they are. I think that's something that if i wouldn't eventually have somebody who helps me with research, or research team, we'd probablyd have to discuss this. And then also, like when i've invited people on, for the most part, i had an idea of what i want to talk to them about.
- Why I started Beyond Influential and how it has evolved over time
- How I pitch guests to be on the show
- My interview process: How I prepare for interviews, connect with my guests, and actually conduct the interview
- My favorite episodes, hardest interviews, and my dream guests
- The vision for Beyond Influential moving forward, and so much more!
