Thank you to everyone who came to the ‘HIDDEN GENIUS’ book event at The Strand last night. I loved meeting all of you! (Also, the Strand’s Rare Book room is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen)
I spent the last month reviewing hours of interviews conducted by the best of the best to draw out highly specific techniques that make for an exceptional interview. Here are 10 interview techniques from the world's best interviewers:
"I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I’m going to learn, I must do it by listening.” — Larry King
Who do you consider to be the world's best interviewer? (looking for the GOATS, not the "well my friend has a podcast, and I think he is the world's best....")
The formula that screenwriter Aaron Sorkin used to write the Social Network isn’t a secret. Here’s his simple — yet brilliant — method to storytelling.

10. The only way to become a masterful interviewer is to … interview Larry King conducted more than 60,000 interviews in his career. Oprah did more than 37,000 after decades of her TV show. To date, Joe Rogan has hosted more than 2,100 guests on his podcast. The truth is that…
9. They know all human beings seek genuine validation If there’s one thing Oprah Winfrey has learned from conducting more than 37,000 interviews, it’s this: We all have a basic need to feel validated and understood. As soon as the camera shuts off, her interview subject often…
8. They challenge the subject’s perspective with genuine curiosity In 1977, Barbara Walters interviewed the Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and challenged his views that women are inferior to men. It’s been called “one of the most painful exchanges ever recorded between a…
7. They strive to capture the ‘juice’ of the story In 1999, the late journalist Barbara Walters interviewed Monica Lewinsky about her relationship with President Bill Clinton. It remains the highest-rated TV interview special, watched live at least in part by an estimated 74…
6. They remove barriers to enhance intimacy One way to build intimacy is to remove any and all furniture and objects that stand in the way between you and your guest. While other TV show hosts often interview across a table or behind a desk, Oprah Winfrey is known for walking…
5. They make assumptions on purpose Great interviewers serve as a representative of their audience. There’s another great moment in Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle where she asks what we have all been wondering during the duration of the entire…
4. They master the art of interruption The best interviewers know when to interject. An easy way to do it is with a phrase like, “Can I interrupt you there for a moment,” or “let’s pause right here,” or “I want to highlight what you just said.” But for effect, it can sometimes…
3. They ‘mirror’ to gather more intel If you’re a regular listener of Joe Rogan’s podcast, you may notice that he often repeats the last part of a guest’s response and turns it into question. For example, author Abigail Shrier said, “Forty-two percent of [the rising generation]…
2. They explore the gap between expectation and reality The most interesting bits of information are often found in the muddy middle … in the stories of the lives unlived. ‘Humans of New York’ photographer Brandon Stanton often asks this question when he meets a stranger: “How…
1. They know the first question sets the tone for the entire interview The first question matters because it’s the question that builds rapport between the interviewer and the interviewee. It’s also the question that sets the tone for the entire interview. Imagine you’re the…
