Creating Solo Content vs Interviews | Ep. 288
In this episode, we discuss the benefits of creating solo content versus conducting interviews. Solo content allows for quicker production and personal connection with the audience, offering diverse storytelling and teaching opportunities. In contrast, interview shows highlight the guest's expertise, providing social proof and enhancing the host's network, but may not position the host as an expert as effectively as solo segments. We also talk about the importance of balancing both formats to build a strong personal brand and delivering varied, valuable content to listeners.
