Policy for unsolicited guests for the Minter Dialogue podcast
I look for guests who are bona fide personalities, bestselling authors, novel subject matter experts and operational executives (corporate C-suite) as well as under-represented voices. The topics I focus on are around leadership, brand strategy and transformation. In principle, I don’t take unsolicited guests, especially if you (they) are not an author. However, if the topic or your/their book interests me, I can yet be tempted with the following provisos:
- I like the topic and think it will work with my audience. Please present why you think you (the guest) would be good person to have on my show. Please know that I am open to having people with diverse opinions and who come from a different background than myself.
- I like to hear the proposed guest on prior podcasts (please include in your mail).
Assuming all that’s good, I request, in exchange, that you (the guest) buy two of my books with proof of purchase. Each show takes five hours of my time, so it’s my only concrete ROI!
There’s a choice from five books:
- Making Empathy Count, a 30-page whitepaper on how to evaluate, measure and encode empathy. Oct 2023 – Kindle only
- Heartificial Empathy, Putting Heart into Business and Artificial Empathy (2nd edition), Apr 2023 – paperback, Kindle
- You Lead, How Being Yourself Makes You A Better Leader (by Kogan Page), Jan 2021 – paperback, Kindle & Audible
- Futureproof, How to get your business ready for the next disruption, (by Pearson, FT Press), Oct 2017 – paperback, Kindle
- The Last Ring Home, A POW’s Lasting Legacy of Courage, Love, and Honor in World War II, Nov 2016 – hardback, Kindle, Audible
You can find all my books on Amazon and other fine e-tailers.
If you think this request is fair and you believe you have a good topic for me, please write to: NMinterDial AT gmail. I’ll also request a PDF version (or even a hard copy if possible) of your book if there is one to read, a month in advance of the podcast recording date.
Podcastingly yours, Minter
