Frequently Asked Questions
Can we book a call to chat?
We don’t do pre-screen or pre-interview calls. Every guest books directly into the show using the options above—either Skip the Line or Not in a Hurry—and we send all prep materials in advance. This keeps the process fair, fast, and focused, and ensures every guest gets the same level of attention and production quality without extra steps. If you have questions, just include them in your booking form and our team will answer by email.
What should I do after booking?
After you book your spot, we’ll email you a confirmation with your interview date, time, and prep details. Be sure this gets into your calendar. Please read it carefully and follow any instructions—this is where we include the interview link, tech tips, and our guest release form. Make sure to whitelist our email (he***@*********************es.com) so nothing ends up in spam. You don’t need to schedule a pre-call (we don't do them) or send us extra materials unless specifically requested; just be ready on your interview day and we’ll handle the rest.
Cancellation/No Show Policy
We understand life happens — meetings run over, travel gets delayed, or emergencies pop up. If you need to reschedule your interview, just let us know at least one day before your scheduled time and we’ll happily move your spot with no penalty.
If a guest misses their interview without notice, we mark it as a no-show. Two no-shows mean we can’t rebook you for future appearances. This policy keeps our production schedule fair and respectful to every guest waiting for a spot.
How should I prepare for the interview?
We make the process easy. Once you book, you’ll receive an email with your interview details and prep materials. Before your slot:
Check your tech: Make sure your camera, microphone, and internet connection are solid.
Choose a quiet, well-lit space: Good audio and video help you look and sound your best.
Review our prep notes: We’ll send any key topics or optional questions in advance—no surprises on interview day.
Bring your expertise, not a script: Our conversations are relaxed and organic, so no need to memorize answers.
Have your links handy: If you’d like us to share a website, book, or resource, keep it ready for the end of the interview.
That’s it—no pre-screen calls, no heavy homework. Just show up on time, ready to share your story.

What kind of background should I use for my interview?
Please avoid busy or distracting backgrounds (beaches, forests, crowded spaces, moving cars, etc.). A clean, neutral background helps you look professional and keeps our audience focused on you—not what’s behind you. If you’d like, a simple bookshelf, home office wall, or virtual background is perfect.
If you join the interview with a background that’s too distracting or inappropriate for broadcast, we may need to reschedule your appearance to ensure a high-quality episode. Our goal is to make you look your best and keep the focus on your insights.

What kind of audience does the show reach?
Gaining the Technology Leadership Edge reaches senior technology leaders—CIOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, founders, and innovation directors—across YouTube, LinkedIn, podcast platforms, and our email newsletter. It’s a highly engaged audience of decision makers looking for leadership and innovation insights.
Can I promote my book/service/product during the interview?
Yes—if it’s relevant to our audience. We’ll give you a chance to mention your book, service, or product naturally during the conversation, and we’ll include a link in the show notes. We don’t run hard-sell segments, but we’re happy to highlight value-added resources for our listeners.
Can I see the questions ahead of time?
We don’t send advance questions. Our interviews are conversational and flow from your expertise and our audience’s interests. We’ll guide the conversation, but keeping it organic produces the best episodes.
Will I get a copy of the episode?
Absolutely. Once the episode goes live, we’ll send you the link and a downloadable version you can keep for your own portfolio, speaking kit, or press page. For guests who’d like additional assets—such as branded clips, a fully edited highlight reel, or custom graphics—we offer a premium upgrade at an additional cost.
Where will the episode be published?
Your episode will be published on our YouTube channel, podcast platforms, LinkedIn newsletter, and featured on our website. We also promote it via social media and our email list for maximum reach.
Can I use the episode in my own marketing?
Yes. You’re welcome to embed, share, or repurpose the episode on your website, social media, or email campaigns. Please keep our branding intact, but otherwise use it to your advantage.
Do you offer promotional support after the episode airs?
We do. Every episode receives social media promotion, newsletter inclusion, and placement on our website. Priority Access guests also receive faster turnaround and a featured slot in our promotion schedule.
Can I bring a co-guest or colleague?
Typically we book one guest per slot to keep the conversation focused. If you’d like to bring a co-guest, reach out first and we’ll see if it’s a good fit or if we need to schedule a separate appearance.
What if my tech fails during the interview?
If you experience a tech failure (internet outage, equipment crash, etc.), we’ll reschedule your appearance at no penalty. Our goal is to produce a high-quality episode, and we’ll work with you to make it happen.
