Produce an original interview plan:
1. Two warm-up questions that build rapport and surface a story.
2. Six core questions ordered to build a narrative arc, each with a one-line note on what you are fishing for.
3. For three of those, a sharp follow-up to ask if the answer is thin.
4. One contrarian or challenge question to create tension.
5. One closing question that gives the guest a memorable last word.
Avoid questions answerable with yes/no or with a single sentence. Make them specific to this guest, not interchangeable.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
