292 - Creating Stronger Guest Intros to Keep Your Audience Hooked

Have you ever listened to a podcast where the host gives too much away in the intro? Could this be putting a wall between you and your audience, or will listeners stick around after a heavy intro?

We also examine an intro from Jay Clouse where opinions were mixed, and share tips for making your own intros stronger and more inviting.
