These questions are just a starting point. If there are specific questions you would like to add, feel free to email me or we can discuss at the time of your interview.

At the time of the interview please make sure you have a high quality microphone and camera set up and are on a stable internet connection. We are looking forward to having you as our next guest.

What to Expect as a Guest

My audience and I are excited to learn about you, your business, and how you help individuals and businesses thrive in interesting times.

Please fill out the information in our Speaker Intake Worksheet in order to help our team structure the show notes page after the interview, Thanks again!

We want to share a few details with you before you begin, so you can be sure that this will be a good fit for you.
 
1) This show is conversational. We start out by asking what your company does and why you do it, then we pivot to discussing your experience in the world of business. It is completely a conversation.

2) We are going to do this on Zoom and it is a video interview that we share on YouTube and potentially other networks.  Please be ready with your camera on!  

3) We reserve the right to not publish a show if for any reason we feel like you are not offering something that fits the theme of the series or doesn't feel like a fit for the audience. It's pretty simple, but we have had to share this with a few guests before that we found out afterward were not a good fit, so now we mention it up front.  Be honest in the guest intake process. Thanks!

4) You do get to share about what you do (and feel free to put together a special offer for our community). Just don't make this a pitch fest, that's not what it's for.

5) If you have any questions whatsoever about this, just reach out and ask.

6) We understand that life happens, if you need to reschedule, please try to do so 24 hours ahead of time, but worst case, reach out an hour beforehand if it's a last minute true emergency. Please call or text if on the day of the interview there is a need to reschedule. You'll receive our contact information after we confirm your interview spot.

7) We started this show for two reasons.  First - to meet forward-thinking entrepreneurs in Alberta.  Second - so we could share awesome value with our community and amazing people like you.

8) We try to make these interviews about 20 minutes, but if we're cruising and having fun we're usually good to go longer, so try and give some flexibility for our end time. We'll block out 45 minutes on your calendar just in case.

9) Your episode will be produced and launched a few weeks after recording (sometimes we get really backlogged).  Once it's released, you're going to get an email with the link to your episode on YouTube. Please share this and spread the love!  Consider this a chance to connect with your community and add value to them. We also share our interviews on LinkedIn to encourage networking and participation.

10) We will be doing other work to promote the episode - and you - even after the initial launch. We'll notify you as each of the new pieces goes live. So, if you don't mind, we'll be communicating with you via email after the episode. Because we do this a lot, there will be some automation. If you unsubscribe from those emails, you'll miss out on some of the promotion work we're doing. But if you find we're annoying you, feel free. We do respect your time, so please let us know if we are annoying!

11) After you fill out the Speaker Intake worksheet, you'll be taken to a calendar scheduler. Please book the appointment now, as it's hard to "connect the dots" with your intake form after the fact.  

12) That's it - looking forward to hanging out!
