#155 - The 5 Things I Would Do Before Interviewing ANY Guest

In this episode of Podcast Growth University, I’m sharing the five simple but powerful things I always do before interviewing a guest. From checking their website and social media to spotting fake followers and asking questions that connect, these steps have helped me build real relationships and create standout episodes. Whether you’re brand new or ready to level up your skills, I’ll walk you through exactly how I prep so you can show up with confidence and give your audience real value.
