What to look for in a conversation host’s introduction video
Listen for one topic you’d like to follow and whether their pace helps you engage. A polished video tells you less about fit than a story you want to hear the rest of.
Use the rest of the profile to chooseWatch once for an opening
Write down one detail in the introduction. If they mention repairing radios, think of the question you’d actually ask: “Who taught you to fix the first one?” A question you’re already curious about gives you a place to begin even if you get nervous.
Notice how you follow the story
Try a short passage with subtitles if available. Notice whether you prefer to hear their voice, read along or combine the two. A prepared introduction is one sample, so use the start of the call to agree on pace. If there’s no video, a written story can still give you a good opening.
