Unlock the Power of Interviews

Grow your platform through collaboration

Growing on Substack Course for Interview collaboration

I have interviewed people starting out and published authors with over 50,000 followers, honoured and trusted to share their words on my site and link back to theirs. This is a huge responsibility, but it is one that can be navigated to bring amazing people into your online space.

I am proud that my successful Interview Series, Embarking on Eudamonia, is heading into its second year.

Don’t shy away from the opportunities; let me guide you through all aspects of the interview process in this course.

Unlock the Power of Interviews will take you go from an idea to a successfully conducted and published interview.

I’ve put amongst each step of the process all the tips that make a big difference—from reaching out to guests to crafting meaningful discussions and sharing them in a way that uplifts both you and your interviewee.

Collaboration is how we grow, together is better, and it makes a huge difference.

If you’re ready to grow your platform through collaboration and engaging conversations, this course is everything you need.
