I've had a lot of interesting people on my podcast throughout the years in
business we've had Rand Fishkin we've had steli efti we've had a really good
collection of entrepreneurs that are not only looked up to but are crushing it in
business. And when we moved into film I wanted to have more film people on the
podcast to learn from them and so I started doing research on the top film
podcasts but there's a lot of trash in the guest list that we've managed to
avoid with our podcast. In today's episode I want to go through how to
choose podcast guests for your podcast. who to say no to? how we choose guests
and how to end up with a rock star lineup on your podcast that feeds itself.
I was running through this email with Rinaldo who does the booking for our
podcast recently and I've been blown away by the amount of awesome people
we've had on this podcast we've had the producer of a hundred fifty million
dollar movie, two writers of Marvel shows, producers of Netflix documentaries we
had Ken Davenport who's produced multiple Broadway shows and so many
other people that I can't even list them all. And it comes from having taste so
it's a very slippery slope going from great guests to bad guests. So let's jump
into the film courage podcast page this is a great example of what not to do
which is mixing bad guests and good guests so I'll take you in here and I'll
show you how we found the good guests to have on our podcast from this. So film
courage has decent popularity hundred thirty eight thousand followers they do
these long super cuts that are an hour long and they're 3,700 videos but as a
screenwriter one of the most important things is to make sure you're not
listening to people that haven't done it before. It's the same thing as
entrepreneurship you want to make sure you're only taking advice from people
that have lived it. So here's what me and Rinaldo do when we're looking for guests
for our podcast I gave him the explicit instructions hey look at film courage
and find good guests from there and he's been very good at finding them so here's
what he does we'll look at the interviews cuz obviously these people
are open to interviews Mark Heidelberg is somebody that ended up on our podcast
so let's look at two different examples one that made it on the podcast and one
that didn't so here is Ken Atchity he's the producer behind the movie the
Meg and we did recently have him on the podcast
it was an amazing episode what are the biggest mistakes you see new
screenwriters make with their first screenplay
one of the things I've learned off the bat is to not
listen to the interviewers questions at all with most podcast these people
aren't gonna be asking the same questions at all as what I asked on my
podcast so what I normally do is just grab their name pop them into Google and
look at their IMDB so Kenneth Atchity what has he done in his life is he worth
talking to. Producer on the Meg that's 150 million dollar movie
yes reach out this guy is amazing, but that's given the same weight with film
courage as Justin Trevor Winters and if you go over to his IMDB look at his
credits look at this amazing long list of credits writer on insanity please
writer on killing Winston Jones one credit and this is the problem that
we'll run into so this guy I would not want on my podcast and yet he's got
27,000 views versus an actual established producer
kind of Ken Atchity who has only 3800 views on this video and then the problem
compounds and eventually you've got a bunch of shitty guests. So even if you
have no podcast guests right now and you've done nothing in your life if you
have just a little bit of taste you can really take your podcast to the next
level. If you want to see the exact contract we use to close new clients it
cost us about a thousand bucks to put together you can have it for free that's
in the description box below and if you really want to help the channel I would
love if you could think of one person who would get value from this video and
send them a quick email with a link to it also if you run an agency and you
want more clients particularly if you want enterprise level huge fortune 500
clients check out experiment27.com we would love to help grow your company. I'm
Alex Berman thanks for watching.
