Bob and Rick Allen return to flip the script and asked me some thought-provoking questions.  Their questions get me to look back on my career path and some memorable podcast moments. We also talk about the importance of diverse life experiences and how they shape our professional journeys.

Here's a sneak peek:

The Power of Diverse Experiences: I shared how my eclectic background, from being a financial analyst to a park ranger, has given me unique perspectives and opened doors I never could have imagined.

Humor and Hiccups: From my dog barking into the microphone to the time I wasn't recording an intense interview about being kidnapped in Africa, every episode has its own unexpected moments.

Lesson in Authenticity: An insightful tale of a podcast gone wrong illustrates the importance of authenticity in public speaking and interviews.

Make sure to listen to the full expisode if you are curious and want to learn more about these stories. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Let's keep exploring the value of experience and exposure together!

"Here, you're allowed to show your passion on your sleeve. When you go in an interview, if you grew up watching Snow White and that made an impression on you, you can say that and it matters."

How to Be a Great Interviewer

The tables have been turned as I welcome back James Warda and Theron Skees, the minds behind "How Does Disney Do That?" This time, they ask me some insightful questions about interviewing skills and podcasting. We hit on a few hot topics during our conversation:

  • Curiosity is King: Whether you're hosting a podcast or engaging in any form of storytelling, curiosity drives great conversations. If you're genuinely interested in your guest, it shows—and it leads to more engaging and insightful discussions.
  • Know Your Role: As a podcast host, my primary job is to make my guests shine. By understanding and embracing this role, you can create a space where your guests feel valued and are encouraged to share their best stories and insights.
  • Preparation vs. Spontaneity: While it's crucial to come prepared with questions, it's equally important to stay flexible and listen intently. The best moments often come from following the natural flow of conversation rather than sticking rigidly to a script.

We also discussed the perseverance needed to write a book. Kudos to James & Theron for their dedication over 3 years. Between their book, "How Does Disney Do That?", and our conversation you will learn ways you can implement Disney’s strategies to create unforgettable experiences for your customers.

Make sure to listen to episode 321 for more tips on how to be a great interviewer and some behind-the-scenes stories from my experiences in podcasting.  enhancing your interviewing skills, storytelling, or simply curious about the magic behind captivating conversations, this episode is a must-listen!
