In this episode of Better Brave, I’m sharing my complete process for bringing guests onto your podcast. From finding the right people to preparing for the interview and keeping the conversation flowing, this episode will help you confidently host amazing guest episodes that serve your audience and build your podcast’s credibility.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • How to Find the Right Guests
    • Invite people you admire and align with your show’s message.
    • Fill gaps in your expertise by bringing on guests who can speak to topics you won’t cover yourself.
    • Use podcast swaps or social media posts to find the perfect match—but be clear about who and what you’re looking for!
  • Guest Preparation Made Easy
    • Share logistics upfront: a bio, links, a headshot, and key talking points they’d like to cover.
    • Provide a scheduling link (like Calendly) to make booking seamless.
    • Research your guest by checking out their socials, website, or podcast to prep questions that resonate.
    • Always include “must-ask” questions, like where listeners can find them or a signature question for your show.
  • Communication is Key
    • Before recording: Set expectations around episode length, editing, and the flexibility to redo answers.
    • After recording: Share the release date, promotional graphics, and social tags to make it easy for them to share with their audience.
  • Pro Hosting Tips
    • Prepare questions, but allow space for unscripted, organic conversations.
    • Make your guest feel comfortable—it’s all about creating a vibe that your audience will love.
    • You are the boss of your own show and you get the final say!

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear game plan for hosting guest episodes that feel polished, professional, and fun.
