Podcast Format
We understand that this can be a daunting process, so let’s break down what a typical conversation with us looks like.
Introduction
We kick things off with a quick introduction that we write after reading your pre-interview form and doing a bit of social media investigating. And just to keep things fun, we always ask about your fave potato chip.
Getting to know you!
We want to get to know you and how you got to where you are now. From where you grew up to the adventures you have been on, we want to get to know the person behind the business and social media.
Your Business/Achievements
In this part of the interview, we’ll dive into your business or achievements. We’ll have some guiding questions prepared, but we like to keep this section conversational. Be prepared to talk about the ups, downs, and everything in between.
Key Takeaways
We love advice. This is where we’re going to ask you what’s one piece of advice you were given or a piece of advice you’d pass along. Have someone instrumental to your journey? Shout them out! We also ask that you’re also prepared to shout out your social media handles. Let’s get you some new followers!
