Being a podcast producer and host myself, for my own series “Interviews of Notables and Influencers”, I know how much work it takes to find the people to be interviewed, research, prepare, produce and edit…
On top of that, Shawn has a full time job in middle market investment banking, in mergers and acquisitions, capital markets, financial restructuring.
Like Shawn, I also have a full time job as the CEO and Branding Expert at 10 Plus Brand, Inc., a full service, award-winning brand building, content creation and digital marketing agency.
For my own 10 Plus Podcast, I invite both well known notables and influencers, billionaires, as well as ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Next month, I will feature someone who has volunteered years of service to help troubled teenage boys at a special summer camp, as well as a savvy investor who will share insights about investing money.
Below are SOME of the questions I asked Shawn during this interview:
Q-1: Could you give us a brief history about yourself? What is your journey leading up to where you are now?
Q 2: Do you hire any help for your podcast production? Or are you doing it all by yourself? (If yes, do you ever sleep? :)
Q 3: Tell us what got you into podcasting in the first place? Do you have Sponsors? Ads?
Q 4: What is the relationship between your investment banking career and your podcast series?
Q 5: What are the biggest challenges in continuing your podcast, episode after episode?
Q 6: Do you get emails from strangers wanting to get on your podcast? What do you do with them?
Q 7: From hosting your 110 podcast episodes, which ones took the most time and effort to prepare?
Q 8: Could you tell us 3 stories about how you secured interviews with the Silicon Valley big names?
Q 9: What have you learned from your podcast guests? Any specific stories? Did you ever disagree with your guests on air? Do you prefer edited or live?
Q 10: Did your interviews have impacted your personal and professional growth? In what ways?
Q 11: What makes you do investment banking?
Q 12: What specific types of companies and individuals need your investment banking advice and expertise? What are your sweet spots?
Q 13: What do you foresee you’d be, 10 years from now, down your career path? And your personal life, if you want to share?
