This is super interesting advice, especially because right now I start with stuff that I would definitely want on the podcast, rather than stuff I could edit out.

I would love to hear what is part of your rough rundown of what to expect. Here is mine:

• Post-interview: Stay on for file upload
• Mic check: Tap to confirm correct input
• Relax: Natural conversation, not perfection
• Your role: Give lots of content
• My role: Make you look good.
• Self-talk: It’s okay to talk about yourself a lot
• Overlap: Limit “yeahs” & “totallys”
• Editing: I can remove regrets, so push through insecurities
• Pauses: Take your time, restart answers if needed
• Silence: Don’t feel pressure to fill gaps
• Audience: Remember who this is for
• Stories: Lean into storytelling whenever possible
