Episode 41 | Interviewing Q&A | How To Prepare for your First Interview

You've scheduled your guest, and you're gnawing at your fingernails waiting for the day when you're going to do the interview.

What do you do while you wait?

In this episode, I talk about four things I would do if I were going back to the beginning and doing my first interview all over again. And really, it's four things you could do for any interview, whether it's your first or fifth or your fifty-fifth! 

1. Research


2. Querying your audience for questions


3. Doing a pre-interview with your subject


4. Calming your mind and emotions before the interview

I talk about each of these tasks one-by-one, the practical how-to as well as the theory of why each of these could be helpful for your interview.
