Prepping for a Great Interview — Updated with What We've Learned Hi Newsletter Subscribers, Back in early April, we shared one of our most popular newsletters: how to introduce yourself like a pro on podcasts.   It covered one-liners, host intros, and how to make yourself easy to work with. And you all loved it.   But since then, we've had some great conversations, read through member feedback, and dug deeper into what makes a truly great guest—or host.   So we're revisiting the topic—with new insights, new tools, and a more complete approach to prep. But first let's highlight this week's featured episodes: Episode Promotion – Find & Be a Guest! 🎙️ Looking for a great podcast opportunity? Check out these featured episodes where hosts and guests are looking to connect right now!   🎙️ 5 important things to remember than could bankrupt your business 👤 DR Rawson 🔗 Apply Here 📢 Tags: #beaguest   🎙️ How to Make Confident Decisions: 5 Journal Prompts To Stop Overthinking 👤 Samantha Hawley 🔗 Apply Here 📢 Tags: #beaguest, #collab, #findaguest, #podswap   💡 Want to be featured in an episode promotion? Start by creating your own episode listing inside the Podcast Collab Club!   ✨ 1. BEFORE YOU RECORD: Prep Materials That Make You Memorable 🎯 The Basics Every Guest Should Prepare Use this checklist before any recording session: ✔️ A 2–3 sentence host intro (so the host doesn't have to wing it) ✔️ A crisp, listener-facing one-liner ✔️ A short "promote me" blurb (more below) ✔️ Website link or resource URL ✔️ Optional: 2–3 sample questions the host can ask ✔️ Bonus: Pronunciation guide or name clarification (if needed) ✍️ Tip: Store all this in a shared Google Doc or Notion page so it's always ready to go. 🧠 2. WRITE A HOST INTRO THAT WORKS 📌 Formula: Who you are Who you help What transformation you provide 📢 Example: “Joining us today is Rachel Lee, a business coach who helps overwhelmed service providers create scalable offers and reclaim their time. She's the founder of Freedom Formula, and her work has helped dozens of entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses without burnout.” ✅ Make it sound spoken, not formal. Keep it under 60 seconds read aloud. 💬 3. YOUR ONE-LINER: Deliver Value Fast When the host says: “Tell us about yourself,” don't start from scratch. 🎯 Structure: "I help [who] [do what] using [how]." 🎧 Example: “I help high-achieving moms lose weight without dieting, using a blend of mindset coaching and simple habits.” 👂 Tip: Record yourself saying it. You'll instantly know if it sounds clunky or smooth. 📣 4. "PROMOTE ME" BLURB: Help the Host Help You After the interview, make it easy for the host to promote you. 📝 Template: “🔥 New episode with guest [Your Name] [Your one-liner] In this interview, we cover: ✅ [Topic 1] ✅ [Topic 2] ✅ [What listeners walk away with] 🌐 Learn more: [Your link]” 📦 Bonus: Include a headshot or graphic if you have one. 🔄 5. PREP YOUR TALKING POINTS 🎯 Before you record, jot down: Your 1–2 key takeaways A personal story to support each one A clear CTA (what do you want the listener to do?) Optional: A few notes or stats to reference 🛑 Don't write a script. Do plan ahead. Great guests don't wing it—they flow with focus. 🤝 BONUS TIPS FOR HOSTS: 💬 If you're hosting: Share questions or topics in advance Let your guest know how to pronounce your name + your show Ask them for a one-liner or bio ahead of time Remind them what your audience values After recording: give them a date and a blurb they can share 💬 If you're hosting: Share questions or topics in advance Let your guest know how to pronounce your name + your show Ask them for a one-liner or bio ahead of time Remind them what your audience values After recording: give them a date and a blurb they can share 🔥 Want More Collab Opportunities?
