In this milestone episode, Dave Lorenzo, known as The Godfather of Growth, draws on over two decades of podcasting experience and hundreds of interviews to teach you "How to Be a Great Podcast Guest". Alongside his co-host, Nicola Gelormino, Dave ensures every guest on The Inside BS Show is prepared to shine. This episode is essential for anyone aspiring to be an outstanding guest on any podcast, radio, or video platform.

Why Listen to This Episode on Repeat?

 Dave packs this episode with actionable strategies and expert insights designed to elevate your podcast guest appearances. Listening repeatedly ensures these essential tips become second nature, allowing you to:

1. Deliver high-impact stories.
2. Understand and engage with diverse audiences.
3. Adapt seamlessly to any podcast or interview setting.

Whether you're a seasoned guest or a first-timer, this guide ensures you leave a lasting impression and build lasting relationships with hosts and audiences.

Key Takeaways:

1. Do Your Homework

• Immerse Yourself: Listen to past episodes of the show you’re appearing on. Study the host’s style and dynamics.
• Read Their Work: Books, blogs, and articles reveal how the hosts think and operate. For Dave, start with The 60 Second Sale.

2. Understand the Audience

• Ask questions about the audience during pre-show interviews.
• The Inside BS Show caters to entrepreneurs and CEOs aiming to scale their businesses to $10M+—prepare to deliver insights tailored to this audience.

3. Create a Captivating Setup

• Visual Tips: Ensure your background is clean, neutral, and free from distractions. Dress like you're attending a high-stakes business meeting—solid colors, no patterns!
• Audio Matters: Use a high-quality external microphone and test it. Most listeners use headphones, so clarity is vital.

4. Deliver Value, Not a Sales Pitch

• Share compelling stories, case studies, and insider secrets.
• Let the hosts guide promotional segments; focus on building rapport and credibility first.

5. Promote Your Appearance

• Leverage social media, email lists, and blog posts to share your episode widely.
• Consistent promotion, even years after your appearance, increases your chances of being invited back and recommended for other opportunities.

Why This Episode Stands Out

Dave and Nicki’s combined hosting expertise creates a dynamic, engaging environment. This episode not only prepares you for The Inside BS Show but offers universally applicable advice for any interview format, including podcasts, video shows, and live broadcasts.
