How Can You Build a Scalable Thought Leadership Engine Using 15-Minute Employee Interviews?


Listen Later

What if your company already has dozens of thought leaders—you just haven’t unlocked them yet?

In this episode, Laura Pursley shares how a simple interview process helped transform internal expertise into a scalable content engine. Instead of relying on one or two visible leaders, Laura’s team built a program that taps into engineers, product experts, customer success leaders, and others across the company.

The result: a steady stream of authentic thought leadership powered by real conversations—not complicated production. A 15-minute interview can generate multiple pieces of content, from LinkedIn posts to blogs to short-form videos. And the best part? The experts only need to show up and talk.  

If you’re looking for a practical way to scale content without burning out your marketing team—or your subject matter experts—this episode outlines a model that works.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Why relying on one or two visible thought leaders creates long-term risk
  • How to identify hidden experts across your organization
  • A simple framework for running 15-minute SME interviews that generate multiple assets
  • How one short interview can turn into 5–10 pieces of marketing content
  • Why authentic, lightly produced video often outperforms polished content
  • How short-form clips are driving the most engagement across platforms
  • How employee amplification on LinkedIn expands reach without requiring everyone to create original content
  • Practical ways to launch a thought leadership program without overwhelming your team
