Making the other person tell you how they are the "good guy in their own movie" -- that blew my mind.

I loved that quote too. Although I can imagine someone using it about another person who can never accept responsibility for their own actions: "He's always the good guy in his own movie!" Is that just my cynical mind? 🤔

@@anishathete4123 easiest answer is to just ask

Before interview: 1. Do some prep. 2. Find interviewee's answers in other interviews for followup questions. 3. Find verbal interviews for social cues and intangibles that interviewee will bring. During interview: 4. Break the ice. 5. Listen. 6. Use dead air chicken. 7. Set the table for your guest to be comfortable. Make curiosity your hobby.

Great advice not just for interviewing but for life. I use the line that "only boring people are bored" with my kids (which they don't much care for!). When I speak to Middle / High School kids about being an engineer I always include the advice to be curious. It is hands down the best thing you can have to a fulfilled life. Great Ted Talk Mike!!!

Love this! Some really great tips here! I myself am a journalist for two local papers and am wanting to expand and have my own podcast and become a better interviewer. Some notes that I made: Curiosity is a muscle, strengthen it and be curious about EVERYTHING! -Find fascination in everyone you talk to. Set the table and show the uniqueness that every individual has. I loved the quote you left with: “Every man I meet is my superior in some way and in that, I learn from him.”

That interviewed the guy 6:08 Ask small question that bring you to other big topics 6:56 Focus and be present. 8:35 Set the table for your guest. Be interesting, and have curiosity. 10:40 Good guy in there own movie.

I've never thought about using silence as a tool in interviews before. The idea of 'dead air chicken' is both amusing and genius. Can't wait to see how it works in practice.

Definitely use icebreakers

I've got an even bigger, better tip for you: 8=D

Step 1: Prep: Research your interviewee: online, print interviews Review curriculum vitae (academia) Step 2: LISTEN Don’t think of your next question or joke Listen intensely Look for connections: your background research and new information presented during your talk

1 prep 2 relevant icebreaker 3 shut up and listen 4 be interested. Be curious.

Bored people are boring, interested people are interesting.

CURIOSITY!! BE INTERESTED AND YOU’LL BE INTERESTING! Research the interviewee before the interview! Prep and practice before the interview.

Okay I'm here to do some prep work because I am planning to meet with a celebrity I look up to and I have no idea how to talk to this person who is way "out of my league". I need to know how to make a conversation flow and not make it awkward be the one rambling. I need to learn to "shut up"
