The Most Important Part of the Whole Thing

The first 60 seconds of any interview set the tone, and one smart question unlocks authentic insights.

Key Takeaways:

  • The opening minute is the most critical part of the session.
  • Start with: "What have you done with AI in the last 24 hours?"
  • This bypasses scripted PR answers and sparks genuine reflection.
  • Their response reveals both comfort level and expertise.
  • From there, you can easily flow into examples, tools, and deeper use cases.

How to Handle All Personality Types in 2 Minutes

No matter how outgoing or timid a guest is, framing the session as a casual conversation makes them feel at ease.

Key Takeaways:

  • Two main types: bold and ready vs. cautious and hesitant.
  • Calm nerves by explaining the session is tactical, not a formal performance.
  • Reinforce the casual nature by leading with the "last 24 hours" question.
  • Make it clear they don't need to prepare scripted answers.
  • Authentic, real stories resonate no matter where they fall on the expertise spectrum.

The Three Buttons to Know

Smooth technical control comes down to mastering captions, the lobby, and recording settings.

Key Takeaways:

  • Always list the guest's name + company (skip long titles).
  • Use the lobby toggle to manage when guests appear on screen.
  • Never click Go Live — always select Record Only.
  • Start each session with a consistent, warm welcome.
  • These three buttons create consistency, confidence, and professionalism.

Housekeeping Announcement

A quick briefing before recording builds trust, manages expectations, and ensures guests feel comfortable.

Key Takeaways:

  • Show a finished example so they understand the output quality.
  • Walk them through the process: intro → 20-minute chat → closing plug.
  • Reassure them they'll receive highlights, snippets, and extra outputs.
  • Explain the closing "plug" moment when they address the audience directly.
  • Setting this context builds trust and reinforces the repeatable process.

The Golden Run Sheet

Structuring interviews into 5 time-chunks ensures a natural, impactful 20-minute conversation.

Key Takeaways:

  • Use the Chrome extension to access the structured question bank.
  • Sessions are designed to be short, sharp, and high-impact (20–25 mins).
  • Divide into clear sections: 0–4, 4–8, 8–12, 12–16, and 16–20 minutes.
  • Start broad ("AI in the last 24 hours") then move deeper as time goes on.
  • Following this structure keeps pacing tight and interviews consistent.
