About this Event

Become a master interviewer - starting with one unforgettable day.

Every great interview is a performance. Most people never learn how to give one - or how to conduct one.

Join Jian Ghomeshi - 25+ years of landmark interviews, from Leonard Cohen and Barbra Streisand to Drake and Stephen King - for a full-day, in-person masterclass on the craft of the interview.

This isn't theory. It's a working day. You'll learn the techniques behind the conversations that made Jian's career, practice them live, and leave with a field guide you'll use for every interview, pitch, and high-stakes conversation that follows.

What you'll work on:

  • Preparing without sounding scripted
  • Asking better questions - and stronger follow-ups
  • Listening for the moment that changes an interview
  • Handling difficult, evasive or rambling guests
  • Using silence, rhythm and interruption effectively
  • Creating interviews people actually want to watch or hear

Who it's for
Entrepreneurs, professionals, podcasters, creators - and the endlessly curious. No media experience required.
