#158: Seven Lessons I’ve Learned About Life from Creating Interviews [Podcast]

April 16, 2016

We can learn a lot from the construction of good interviews. Right from the moment you decide which guests to approach, the way you reach out to them, to the way you research and then conduct the interview itself. There are some important lessons that we can use to make our lives and relationships work in better ways.

In this show you will discover:
- How I cheated when I created interviews for a music podcast
- The one thing I can't stand when I'm invited to be an interview guest
- Why it's important to really know people
- How a spam Facebook message left me feeling resentment towards someone I like
- The key to making people feel valued and respected
- Why fear can be a friend and discomfort a positive stepping stone
- The illusion of confidence, and the reassuring truth about those who seem to exude it
- Why no one is naturally a better listener than anyone else...but why we should seek to become good at it
- How to give people permission and space to bring positive transformation to the world with just one mindset change.
