Patrice Poltzer's Guide to Being an Impactful Podcast Guest


Listen Later

“You really have to learn to think about who's listening. Ask yourself, 'what is the takeaway for the person listening?' Why does that matter?' And if you can't think of that, then you don't need to talk about it.”


When Patrice Poltzer first started joining podcasts as a guest, she was very excited and very nervous… but she quickly realized how that honest energy could benefit her by showing her humanity. Today, Patrice is a storytelling and personal brand expert and the founder of Patrice Poltzer Creative, with more than a decade of experience transforming stories into engaging video content for top media and social platforms. An award winning journalist and former Emmy nominated Today Show producer, Patrice founded her agency in 2016. Her team, composed of former journalists, specializes in crafting compelling video narratives and strategies for businesses of all sizes. Her mission is to empower brands by harnessing the power of storytelling to enhance their impact, foster deeper audience connections, and drive increased sales and awareness through expertly produced video content. Tune in and hear our conversation with Patrice about telling your story in a way that makes an impact, how to be authentic and vulnerable in an interview, and keeping your audience engaged longer.
