88: Why and How Most Podcast Guests F*** Up the Opportunity

You’ve heard me talk on this show before about how to be a great podcast guest. Today I’m chatting with John Ball about mistakes guests tend to make that cause them to f*** up the guest opportunity.

Podcast guesting is a powerful way to boost your authority, share your message, promote your own show, and build your network. But too many guests treat the opportunity as a unilateral pitch fest. Massive mistake.


There are key things that podcast guests need to do, not only to co-create an awesome episode for listeners, but also to leverage the appearance for the mutual, long-term benefit of themselves and the host.


In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Some of the biggest mistakes podcast guests tend to make
  • What you can do to avoid these mistakes
  • John’s 3P framework for having a great interview


John Ball is an online coach and course creator, with over 12 years coaching and training with T. Harv Eker, a former flight attendant, and an entertaining and engaging guest with fabulous stories and myriad life experiences!
