BRX Pro Tip: Recurring Question
BRX Pro Tip: Recurring Question Transcript
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here. The topic for today is putting into the program a consistent question that you ask in every segment. Talk about that a little bit, Lee.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:13] This is a really neat area for our underwriters and hosts, especially to create content that they can repurpose later down the road. Some of the questions I’ve seen interviewers ask are major mistakes, types of mistakes that the guest has made, recommending a book, or a resource, a blog, or some sort of informational resource. What are some of the questions you’ve seen?
Stone Payton: [00:00:37] If you let them know you’re going to ask this toward the end of the show, it helps them get a better feel for the flow of the show. Well, one of my favorites was, “Please share with us a mistake that you’ve made at some point in your career, and what you feel like you learned from it?” Oh, we got such great content from that, and we were able to to aggregate that content, and slice and dice it in so many ways. I can’t think of a better way to put together a small book as a matter of fact.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:03] That’s right. It’s a perfect vehicle to build an e-book or a traditional book. Another question I’ve seen people ask is the best piece of advice. That’s another great thing that if you do that for every single guest, at the end of even a few months, you’re going to have a great blog post at the least, and a book at the most.

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome to another Business RadioX Pro Tips. Today’s segment is part of our interview series. And the topic today, Lee, focuses on listening.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:10] Yeah, listening is a secret sauce of the best interviewers. It’s not a situation where you just kind of read the talking points, and then just move on to question two after you finish question one. You have to listen to the answers of the guest, and then just kind of organically go wherever the conversation takes you.
Stone Payton: [00:00:29] Well, I’ll tell you, if you do listen to answers of your prepared questions, often, it will set the foundation for non-business questions. What’s your take on that? Avoid that topic or go down that road a little bit and explore the person, not just the business?
Lee Kantor: [00:00:45] I think it’s critically important to explore non-business side of your guests because, then, you’re going to get a good, well-rounded picture of your guests. And then, your guests is going to create content that they are going to want to share.
Stone Payton: [00:01:00] All right. There you have it. Listen to the answers. Don’t be afraid. In fact, encourage and embrace the idea of going down the road of non-business questions. You’ll get some insight and genuinely be serving these folks.

BRX Pro Tip: Asking Questions Transcript
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to another segment of Business Radiox Pro Tips. This is our interview series, Lee. We’ve talked in previous segments about having a consistent open and close, using short guest introductions, but the questions themselves should be short for the most part. Yes?
Lee Kantor: [00:00:15] That’s right. The shorter, the better. You want to give the guest the time to articulate the message. So, ask a short question and let them do the work of telling their brilliance.
Stone Payton: [00:00:27] It’s a faux pas that I’ve committed myself, but, at least, I’m trying to be more self-aware and catch myself doing this. One question at a time.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:35] That’s right. That’s something that another rookie mistake, I think, I see a lot is that they want to get the information, and they don’t want to forget something that popped in their head, and they ask, like, five questions. And the best thing to do, one question at a time, make it a short question, and give the guest time to articulate their answer.
Stone Payton: [00:00:55] So, there you have it the best mojo for a good compelling interview is to have short questions and one question at a time.
