Structure of An Episode
The purpose of the episode is to tell your personal story of how you became an entrepreneur.
| Section | Description |

Power Statement & Title Card |
To start the episode, we'll actually pull some video & audio from the end of the podcast as your "Power Statement" (explained below). Then, we'll play our title card to start the episode. These two parts will not be a part of the recording, just the editing. |
Introductions |
The interview will start with Devin briefly introducing new people to the podcast. He'll then introduce you, the guest of this episode, and a brief background into what your story is. This part is a conversation, so feel free to chime in and converse with Devin while he's talking. |
Your Journey |
Then he'll open up the floor to you to go in depth about your story. This part is totally up to you. You'll be able to share your background, experiences, what got you into your industry, advice, etc. This section usually lasts around 10-30 minutes |
Ending Questions |
After that, Devin will ask you a few questions.
Your answer to the 2nd question is typically what we use in the opening of the podcast. We'll snip the first 10-30 seconds of it and use that as our "Power Statement" before the title card. |
