about THE FORMAT
Dealing with Goliath Long Form or ‘Lungo’ podcast format is more free flowing, part interview, part conversation which makes it a more relaxed experience, both for the guest and the listeners. Here a sample selection of some of the types of questions I may ask you:
- What do you love most about your work?
- What is a common myth or misunderstanding about your profession / industry that you would like to straighten out?
- What are some of the bigger struggles you’ve encountered and how you approached and resolved them?
- What failure are you most proud of and why? / What was your most helpful failure?
- What would you say to your 20 yr old / 30 yr old self? Where were you at that time? (context)
- What are some red flags when you’re considering a project / client / deal to invest (your time) in?
- What do you believe that most don’t? (Your unique point of view)
- Did you have a circuitous or unusual career path? What was the key pivotal decision that brought you to where you are now in your career?
- What advice would you give to someone around dealing with people / making agreements / winning people over to your way of thinking?
- What’s the first few hours of your day like? / morning routine?
- What do you like to do to relax? What makes life worthwhile outside of work?
- Do you have 3 year goals or objectives? If so, can you share them with us?
- If people want to understand the fundamentals of your industry / area of expertise, what book(s) / resources would you recommend?
There may also be questions more specific to your story, industry or expertise.
NOTE: the guest always has final cut. eg after recording if you wish to have a response edited out for whatever reason we can do that. This is to ensure you can relax and feel safe and secure in your interview.
