The Introvert’s Edge: Discover the Strategies and Tactics of Introverted Global Business Leaders

Podcasting Strategies for Introverts


Listen Later

If you’ve heard of the Eventual Millionaire podcast, you know that the host, Jaime Masters, is a big deal. Recently ranked by Entrepreneur and INC as one of the top podcasts in the world for entrepreneurs, the Eventual Millionaire demonstrates that Jaime is by far one of the best interviewers I have ever seen.

When she interviewed me for the first time on her show, I was struck by how natural she was, how easily she was able to ask the questions that dig deep and get to the heart of the matter, and how comfortable I felt, even as an introvert who’s somewhat anxious about these things.

I knew I had to have her be a part of the annual conference I run, Small Business Festival. When she moderated a panel on “Founder Secrets,” it was immediately evident that her interviewing skills worked beautifully in this setting as well. The panel participants were relaxed and genuine, and they shared pinpoint insights that proved revelatory to the audience – all because of Jaime’s approach.

And when I started developing this show, I knew again that Jaime had to be a part of it. I wanted to discover her process for forging such strong connections with guests and panel participants. I wanted to know how she chose what questions to ask, how she guided the conversation, and how she handled the inevitable snags and unplanned moments. Listen in and learn the strategies that work not just for podcasting, but for any situation in which you’re building your network and growing your business.

How to make your podcast interviews natural, meaningful, and valuable

In the last episode of The Introvert’s Edge, Jaime shared the tools and strategies she’s developed over the years to beat extroverts at their own game, hands down. Today, we focus our discussion on podcasting and panel moderation. How does Jaime approach an interview to make sure that it’s authentic, provides great value, is fun for the guest and listener, and meets intended outcomes? She created a system, and she perfected it.

Why podcasting is perfect for introverts

It may not seem like a natural fit: an introvert, hosting a show, leading a discussion, talking to strangers, being recorded, sharing it with the world? We’re supposed to be shy and quiet, right? Jaime explains her secret weapon for going from “the girl in the corner with a book” to becoming the host of an Entrepreneur-ranked Top-3 podcast, with guests booked out six months in advance. The best part? It’s based on yet another quality that’s inherent to introverts.
