Become a Better Interviewer w/ Corey Poirier - DTL #32

Join Chris and me in welcoming Corey Poirier to the show this week! Corey is an author, multiple-time TEDx speaker, and seasoned interviewer with over 7500 interviews under his belt. He’s talked to acclaimed authors like Deepak Chopra and Zig Ziglar, motivational speakers like Lisa Nichols and Gary V, and eclectic celebrities like Tommy Chong and Stedman Graham. The goal of his work is to understand the secrets of these influential leaders and share them with the world, through his own books and lectures. In today’s chat, he walks us through the art of crafting good questions, the importance of staying completely present in each conversation, and he even shares some of his tips and tricks on how to book big guests. For folks out there looking to break into the interview game, this conversation is a goldmine. And I strongly encourage our entrepreneur audience to tune in as well. Corey has spent a lot of time thinking about the qualities and habits that encourage success. And he’s more than happy to pass that wisdom along. 

Topics discussed: 

• Active listening during an interview: Corey shares some actionable strategies to help you stay in the moment, while still steering the conversation where you want it to go 

• Interview structure: He outlines the conversational flow that will help you get the best out of your subjects and foster an engaging conversation 

• Staying inspired: Every conversation is an opportunity to connect deeply with someone – interviewee and/or listener – and you should act accordingly 

Key takeaways: 

• Don’t get too tied to a particular question – be ready to cut your losses 

• Do your research and try to ask questions your subject doesn’t usually answer 

• Listen to what the majority of your audience is saying, not just the few vocal critics
