Overcoming Imposter Syndrome as a Podcast Guest

Even the most accomplished experts - founders, authors, CEOs - often feel a flicker of "who am I to talk about this?" before a podcast interview. Tom Schwab sits down with Kristen Nolan, senior client account manager at Interview Valet, to address imposter syndrome in podcast guesting.

Kristen explains why nervous guests often outperform overconfident ones, how shifting from ego to empathy transforms an interview, and the prep-document strategy she uses to help clients show up with clarity instead of a script. You don't have to be fearless to be a great guest, just intentional.
