People ask me what makes a great guest on a podcast? After a lot of thinking, I have came up with these 10 qualities that a great guest should have!

  1. Engaging: A great podcast guest should be able to hold the attention of listeners and keep them interested in the conversation.
  2. Thoughtful: A great podcast guest should be able to think on their feet and provide well-considered responses to questions.
  3. Passionate: A great podcast guest should be passionate about the topic they are discussing, which will make for a more engaging and interesting conversation.
  4. Confident: A great podcast guest should be confident in their knowledge and expertise, which will make them more credible and compelling.
  5. Authentic: A great podcast guest should be genuine and authentic, rather than trying to put on a show or act in a way that is not true to themselves.
  6. Humorous: A great podcast guest should be able to bring some humor and levity to the conversation, which can help keep listeners engaged.
  7. Flexible: A great podcast guest should be able to adapt to the direction the conversation takes, rather than sticking rigidly to a script or agenda.
  8. Open-minded: A great podcast guest should be open to hearing different perspectives and viewpoints, and be willing to engage in respectful debate.
  9. Prepared: A great podcast guest should come prepared with relevant knowledge and information, which will help to make the conversation more interesting and informative.
