want to be better at conference interviews? make people feel comfortable first i’ve interviewed founders of base, walletconnect, zerion, shefi and many others if you’re a content creator, these are a few things i do to get better answers, make people look more natural on camera and make the editing so much easier 1. know your questions you don’t have to memorize every word, but know what you’re asking constantly checking your phone kills the flow and makes you look less confident if you need notes, keep them somewhere you can quickly check without it being obvious on camera 2. explain the format before you start i usually tell people it’s short form video and i need answers around 10–15 seconds or one sentence that way they know exactly what kind of answer i’m looking for and i don’t end up cutting a 1 minute answer into 10 seconds later 3. tell them they can repeat if they get nervous, forget what they wanted to say or don’t like their answer, just do it again saying this before you start usually makes people relax immediately 4. decide if you want to share the questions beforehand if it’s something more complex, i’m happy to tell them the question before we record if it’s something funny or reaction based, i usually don’t because i want the genuine reaction 5. help them through it smile, encourage them, give them a second to think if they get stuck, don’t just stand there waiting for them to recover the more comfortable they feel with you, the more natural they’ll look on camera 6. give clear direction tell them where to look, how short the answer should be, and if you need them to repeat part of the question in the answer don’t assume they know what you need for the edit 7. get their handle before they leave conference days are chaos write it down straight away so you can actually tag them when the video goes live 8. always say thank you people are usually running between meetings, panels and 20 other things they gave you their time, so appreciate it interviews are one of my favorite types of conference content because you get good content + actually get to know people at the same time and if you do it right, it should feel less like an interview and more like a conversation that happens to be on camera

the results of the @SuperteamUK brain drain bounty are out! incredible production & storytelling across these submissions - and the humour to take on some pretty unhinged reactions in the comments what an honour to be selected alongside these winners! superteam.fun/earn/listing/w…

one of the biggest lessons i’ve learned as a creator is that saying no is just as important as saying yes the right partnerships respect your time, your work, and your audience for me, alignment always comes first what makes you turn down a collaboration?
