Before the Interview
Understand the Purpose:
Our audience is diverse, ranging from young adults in their 20s, professionals in their 30s and 40s, to seasoned experts in their 50s and 60s. Despite their varied backgrounds, they all share a common passion for personal growth. Consider how your perspective can inspire them. Reflect on the message you want to convey and the legacy you wish to leave behind. Why does your message matter in the grander scheme of society, personal growth, and well-being? How can it make a significant impact? Think deeply about why your insights are important and how they can contribute to the greater good.
Know Your Topic:
The interview will always focus on two main areas: your personal life story and your professional knowledge or expertise. We may emphasize one over the other depending on your key topic. To prepare, think about the stories you want to share and the wisdom you wish to impart. Remember, our audience relies on you for accurate information. Please ensure everything you say is fact-checked, especially statistics, historical anecdotes, and scientific data. If you reference a discipline outside your primary expertise, use widely accepted and peer-reviewed sources, and consult with experts directly whenever possible.
Prepare Your Story:
Personal anecdotes and stories make interviews engaging. Consider sharing experiences that highlight your expertise. Start by writing down your idea in one or two sentences. Then, ask yourself a few questions to refine it:
Is my story relatable to the audience?
Am I sharing something new and unheard?
Is it interesting and captivating?
Who will find it appealing or relevant?
Is it factual and realistic, especially if it involves research or expertise?

Things to Avoid
Avoid Misinformation:
Ensure all facts, figures, and statements are accurate and verifiable. Avoid spreading misinformation or unverified claims.
Respect Confidentiality:
Do not disclose confidential or proprietary information. Respect privacy agreements and the confidentiality of sensitive information.
Stay Neutral:
Avoid controversial or politically charged topics unless they are directly relevant to your expertise and the interview topic.
No Offensive Language:
Refrain from using offensive or discriminatory language. Maintain a professional and respectful tone throughout the interview.
Promotion and Compliance
Avoid Over-Promotion:
While it's important to highlight your achievements and work, avoid excessive self-promotion. Focus on providing value to the audience.
Stay On Topic:
Avoid straying off-topic. Keep your responses relevant to the questions and the overall theme of the interview.
Legal Compliance:
Ensure your statements and advice comply with relevant laws and regulations. Avoid making claims or giving advice that could be construed as legal, medical, or financial guidance unless you are certified to do so. Additionally, refrain from discussing any past illegal activities. While personal growth stories can be inspirational, sharing details about illegal actions (e.g., drug use, discrimination, involvement in criminal organizations) can be triggering for some audience members. Mentioning such activities may also lead to the immediate cancellation of the interview.
