Go-to interview topics
How to stand out when AI makes everyone sound the same
AI can spit out a bunch of words within seconds. It can't create your lived experience or point of view. How to use what's uniquely yours to become easier to trust and choose.
Why successful experts struggle to explain what makes them different
The better you get at something, the easier it is to take your own expertise for granted. Why your best ideas become invisible to you and how to find the words that make your value easy to understand.
How to replace all your marketing with one clear story
Most businesses say something different on their website, in their emails, on social media and in sales calls. How to create one clear story your whole business can run on, so marketing gets simpler and more of the right clients say yes.
The five StoryBrand Soundbites that bring you more clients
Five simple phrases that make your value easy to understand. Use them on your website, in emails, on social media and in sales conversations so your business tells the same clear story everywhere.
Kris is happy to build a custom outline around what your audience is struggling with now.
For example, Kris also gets booked to talk about:
- Turning a website into your best salesperson
- Answering "what do you do?" so people lean in
- Story-driven video that amplifies trust
- Using the hero's journey to close more sales calls
Your listeners will walk away with something they can use immediately
Booking a guest is a gamble. Kris treats your episode the way she treats a client project.
She teaches something your audience can actually do
Every topic below is built on a process she uses with paying clients, so your listeners get a way to work through it themselves instead of a story about how well it went for someone else.
She promotes the heck out of your episode
Every episode goes to her email list, her YouTube channel and Instagram, and gets cut into Shorts and Reels. She also hosts From Click to Client, which is rated 5.0 on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and sits in the top 1% for visibility among the shows PodSEO tracks. Her people are experts who sell their expertise, which is where your show wants to grow.
She is easy to produce
Studio mic, good lighting, quiet room. She comes prepared and keeps to your format.
