    Tech, Politics, and Pencil Puppets: Simplifying the Complex, with James Kotecki

    As host of the CES Tech Talk Podcast, James Kotecki not only has to break down complex topics so the listeners can understand, he also has to guide the guests on simplifying what's complicated.  So how does he do that? And how can we as podcast guests make what's complex in our niche relatable to all?
    Today, James and Sarah discuss the keys to successful podcast interviews, including preparation, storytelling, and active participation. They explore the impact of podcast episodes on careers, effective communication skills for guests, and the significance of networking through platforms like LinkedIn.

Great resource for leaders, creatives and entrepreneurs

I have found that being a guest on podcasts and hosting my own podcast has been the best way to nurture people in a deep and authentic way. As a business coach and published author, I always recommend Podcast Ally to my clients. This show is a rich resource whether you want to be an amazing guest or get an inside sneak peek to how show hosts make must-listen episodes.
