345 - Qualities of a Super Guest & Signs They're the Right Fit

345 - Qualities of a Super Guest & Signs They're the Right Fit

Earlier this week, we swapped stories about “guests from hell,” so today we’re flipping the script. What makes someone the ideal podcast guest? We break down the traits that set great guests apart, like being prepared, respecting the host’s time, promoting the episode, and knowing how to tell compelling stories. We also talk about why podcast interviews aren’t always just casual chats. Even the most relaxed shows still need to keep the listener front and center. Later in the episode, we shift gears to reflect on our weekly wins, and we take time to celebrate our personal and community progress.
