Pod O'Clock: How to Podcast
How to Maximize The Interview Process
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Want to stop doing surface-level interviews and start creating episodes that truly transform your listeners? This is your masterclass.
In this episode, we're joined by Kenny Lange, host of the How Leaders Think podcast, a coach who has helped organizations achieve massive growth, and a leader on a mission to positively impact 10,000 kids outside of his podcast goals!
Kenny's approach to leading, coaching, and hosting is all about renewing your mind and unlocking new ways of thinking—and it's a powerful lesson for every podcaster.
We dive deep into his main theme of the interview process and discuss how hosts can move beyond the typical Q&A format to cultivate meaningful, growth-oriented conversations.
In this episode, you will learn:
- The "Prep Paradox": How to research your guest effectively without over-preparing and sounding like you're just reading their bio.
- Kenny's Mindset Framework: The mental shift you need to make before hitting record to ensure the conversation has maximum impact on your audience.
- Unlocking Deeper Stories: Specific questions and listening techniques to get successful guests, like Kenny, to open up about their biggest lessons and vulnerabilities.
- Growth Through Service: How Kenny's powerful personal mission (impacting 10,000 kids!) fuels his show's content and why having a "why" beyond downloads is essential for long-term podcast success.
Don't just talk at your guests; learn how to think with them to create truly transformative content.
