Questions for you as the interviewer
Separated based on which capacity you’ve engaged me for the show. There’s a lot going on and this may help you to narrow it down. I’ve appeared in the capacity of a fiction author, nonfiction author, personal coach, speaker, single parent, single person dating. You are not limited to any one capacity, and as you already know it is the crossover stuff that makes it fun!
I have mixed feelings on prompt questions like this for guests on my own show, but they are offered here to help and interviewers seem to appreciate them. This is just intended as a time-saver for you.
