1/ Toying with an idea... Would love to hear your thoughts.
The most interesting (and useful) conversations are often ones we aren't usually invited to. Fly on the wall type stuff.
The outcomes of which mean a lot to the people involved.
Some examples...

2/ Dragons Den - you get to watch entrepreneurs lay it all on the line to win life changing investment in their businesses.
You learn about how they pitch & what investors are looking for.
You want them to succeed.

3/ First Dates - you get to listen to singletons navigate a first (blind) over dinner on their quest to find love.
You see how each dater approaches it and what does/doesn't work for each of them. You hope and pray the date goes well for them.
When it does... I dust in my eyes.

4/ One Born Every Minute - you get to experience drama and emotion of a maternity unit.
You learn what parents go through and how maternity staff do their jobs.
They joy when everything turns out ok is unbridled.

5/ But what about job interviews?
How can we learn how to succeed at something so important, which we all have to go through, but we never get to observe? (unless of course we're the ones asking the questions)

6/ As an interviewee you don't know what you're going to be asked, you rarely get question by question feedback and unless you've been coached through the process you probably haven't had a chance to hear what a range of great answers sound like nor time/space to practice them.
7/ As an interviewer you have such a short space of time to create a) an experience that makes the applicant feel welcomed and inspired and b) a process that enables you to really evaluate if they'll take your team to the next level.
8/ What if we could record job interviews? What if if we could record an analysis them afterwards? Maybe from both applicant and interviewer perspective?

9/ Prospective applicants could learn about possible questions & how structure their answers while prepping.
Interviewees get helpful feedback on their answers so they can improve.
Interviewers get to hear the kinds of questions others ask and how they inspire applicants.

10/ What do you think? Would this be useful?
11/ * @pitchdeckpod takes Dragons Den one step further (and better) by providing feedback on the business without the founder listening in - making it more authentic.
Thanks for the inspiration, Nick.
Well worth a listen, if you haven't already.
