FAQ

Thank you so much for agreeing to be a guest on the Absolute Advantage Podcast. I can’t wait to speak with you! Before we do, here’s everything you need to know to make sure our conversation can happen without any mishaps — technological or otherwise.

The Absolute Advantage Podcast is focused on learning from some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs, leaders, and achievers at the top of their game.

When chasing your dreams, a lot of times there isn’t a need to reinvent the wheel.  Instead, shorten your path to success by learning from the stories, strategies and concepts shared by our guests. Then shorten it even further by learning about amazing resources (books, webinars, tools, software, events, coaching, etc.) that should be on your radar. You are not alone in the challenges you face!

It’s my mission to help you walk away with at least one idea you can apply each episode and to offer content that inspires, encourages and helps you grow and progress QUICKLY both professionally and personally.

The interview

We will record our interview on Skype, and it’ll take about 45-60 minutes of your time, depending on how in depth we get with our conversation. We’ll talk for a few minutes before we start the recording so that we can get to know each other a little bit and check the sound. I’ll also answer any questions you might have, and I’ll have you pronounce your name for me. After that, we’ll begin the recording.
