PRE-INTERVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE

Thank you for saying "YES" to being interviewed for my Category of One Branding Video Podcast. My intentions are simple: to go deep, have fun, and create a conversation that delivers profound value for the listeners. If you’re a seasoned interviewee, great. I invite you to share something new on the interview (a story, insight, or perspective you haven’t revealed elsewhere). If you’re new to being interviewed, not to worry. Just be yourself. We’re simply going to have a casual and (hopefully) thought-provoking conversation for ourselves and those listening to us.

Please take 15–20 minutes to answer the below questions with intention. Your responses will help me prepare and highlight the best version of you and your brand during the interview.

In gratitude,
