I'm so thrilled to share today's episode with you because I brought on someone I deeply admire, my friend Akua Konadu, to teach a special guest training! This one was prepped during my maternity leave and I can't wait to share it with you. Akua hosts two incredible podcasts and is a gifted storytelling strategist, and she is truly one of the most natural interviewers I know. I knew she'd bring something impactful to you… and she absolutely delivers.In this training, Akua takes us behind the scenes of what actually makes an interview powerful. If you've ever worried about “winging it,” struggled to pull deeper stories out of guests, or wondered how to create conversations that stand out in a crowded podcast world, this episode will feel like such a breath of fresh air. She shares what it looks like to prep with intention without losing authenticity, how to lead interviews with curiosity instead of control, and simple mindset shifts that help you show up more confidently on the mic.One thing I love about Akua is how deeply she understands storytelling... not just as a concept, but as a real tool for connection and impact. You'll hear her talk about how to invite guests into meaningful moments, how to create flow that feels conversational instead of rigid, and how to gently steer a conversation so your listeners walk away with transformation, not just information. If you want your episodes to feel richer, more natural, and more memorable, this is such a treat.Links mentioned: Read the Shownotes: https://elizabethmccravy.com/327 Follow Akua on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/akuakonadu_Take Akua's storytelling quiz: https://akuakonadu.com/quizListen to Akua's Podcast: The Unbreakable Business Podcast hosted by Honeybook and Here's the Tea with AkuaSign up for Podcast Success Blueprint: https://elizabethmccravy.com/psb   Take my Showit template quiz (and get free Canva templates!): https://elizabethmccravy.com/quiz Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethmccravy/   Shop Showit templates: https://elizabethmccravy.com/shop Join me inside Booked Out Designer: https://elizabethmccravy.com/bod Over my 9 years of business, I have learned some financial skills the hard way and a few years ago, I developed an an 8 step process I go through at the end of each month.
