GOALS FOR INTERVIEW
Our audience is primarily Travel Agents in North America who want to learn more about how to manage their businesses successfully. Basically, this is the stuff we should have learned in college but were never taught. The primary goal is to bring experts on the podcast who can educate listeners on topics that they need to master in order to succeed in their career or share the stories of other agents in the trenches. We want to encourage and equip listeners to be the hero in their own stories. As the expert on the podcast, you should think of yourself as the guide for the listeners.
If you have products, services, or publications to promote that would be of benefit to our listeners, we’ll definitely give you the opportunity to do that. However, we do want to keep the primary focus on the listener, helping them succeed in their career and business growth. Remember, you are the guide, and our listeners are the hero in this story. By the end of the episode, listeners should have received three things:

This totally free guide includes my fool-proof checklist to:
- Encouragement:Empower our listeners. Show them with empathy that they can succeed and that you can guide them to achieve success for themselves
- A plan:They need a concrete plan to follow. What are the steps to take to achieve the desired result?
- Call to action:What are you going to tell the listeners to go do when the episode is over? How do they take the information they receive and put it into action?
Format for the interview
Once you’re accepted as a guest on the podcast, we’ll get you scheduled for a date/time to interview.
We’ll email you a link to the online meeting, which will be recorded in audio (+/- video) format. If you have a professional microphone setup, that’s great! If not, your laptop/desktop and a good pair of headphones will be fine.
The interview usually lasts approximately 45-60 minutes but may be longer or shorter depending on the topic being discussed.
We won’t be recording right when you join the interview. I’ll be checking that all of our equipment is on and working properly, adjusting sounds levels, etc. first. Once that’s all set, I’ll count us down and we’ll get going!
Don’t worry about messing up. I’ll edit the interview afterwards to make you sound great!
Make sure your cell phone, computer notifications, reminders, pagers, etc. are turned off so they don’t interrupt us.
Technical aspects of recording
We’ll be recording on Zoom. I'll send you the link to the online chat once we confirm a date/time.
You’ll want to be on a device with a great internet connection. A device wired to a router will be best. If you are on Wi-fi, just make sure you’re in a place with a really excellent connection.
Be sure you have a pair of headphones with a microphone. Headphones plugged into a computer or smartphone will give decent audio. If you have professional recording equipment, that’s even better, but don’t worry if you don’t have that.
