WHAT MAKES A STRONG INTERVIEW

Conversations We Prioritize

We welcome guests who have a book, business, program, organization, or other work to share, but the interview itself should provide independent value to the listener and should not function primarily as a sales pitch.

Educate rather than simply promote

Give listeners practical takeaways

Explore an interesting or underrepresented perspective

Include authentic personal or professional experiences

Connect meaningfully with physicians, healthcare professionals, leaders, or purpose-driven entrepreneurs

Encourage thoughtful conversations about life, medicine, leadership, wellness, business, reinvention, healing, or professional freedom
