Landing a VIP, celebrity, musician, athlete, or any person who is considered a big deal in your niche is a pretty big accomplishment. Clearly, this person saw some value in what you're doing and is willing to spend time with you on your show. Congratulate yourself, that's good stuff!

Now...stop worrying about f*cking up the interview! I've seen this brought up in various podcast groups that I'm in. People don't want to screw things up with their big time guest, so they get nervous and begin to overly worry about it...not even realizing the hardest part (getting this person on the show in the first place) has already been handled!

On Episode 82 of Pod Theory, I'm going to share some insight on how to handle interviewing a VIP on your podcast. People, no matter their station in life, want to be treated with respect...and like a normal person. In this episode, you'll learn some easy-to-implement strategies to help you make your VIP interview one for the ages.

Who's the VIPiest person you've ever interviewed on your podcast? Drop me a line on Twitter and let me know.
