How to look and sound amazing!
Thanks again for booking your interview on Growing Up B2B! To ensure you look and sound your best, here are a few simple dos and don’ts. For lighting, position a soft light source, like a ring light or desk lamp, in front of you at eye level to avoid harsh shadows. If recording during the day, sit facing a window for natural lighting, but avoid having a bright light source behind you, as it can turn you into a silhouette. For sound, use a good-quality microphone like a Blue Yeti or Audio-Technica AT2020, and test it beforehand to ensure clear audio. Record in a quiet space, and avoid using speakerphones or AirPods, as they can distort your voice.
As part of your prep, you’ll receive three emails with helpful videos. The first covers our audience and how to tailor your message, the second (which you're watching now) helps you look and sound amazing, and the final email will outline the questions we’ll discuss during your interview. Lastly, if you know someone who would be a great fit for Growing Up B2B, feel free to share our podcast schedule link with them—we’d love to celebrate more inspiring family business leaders. Looking forward to our conversation!
We'll be recording on Zoom VIDEO. We will likely grab a couple 30-60 second video snippets of our chat to promote you to our audience. Try to be well-lit so we can see your smiling face!

Please have a quality microphone ready to go prior to our interview. Gaming headsets and internal laptop microphones are usually very poor quality and will require rescheduling our interview.
