MAKE

Who is the most famous person in the world for you? The one most people know? The one most people think is great. The one most people would like to have coffee with. Someone like...let's say Elvis. Once you've decided who that person is to you, start writing down questions you'd like to ask that person.

Write down 20 questions to ask this famous person.
Have fun!

Ask someone in your family and/or close circle of friends if you can do a 15-minute interview with them. Tell the person that you are experimenting with different forms of interviews and that this interview will not be recorded. Don't think about what questions you will ask beforehand.
To do this, meet in a quiet, neutral place (not in the home of one or the other), such as a park or the home of an uninvolved person. Sit in two chairs facing each other. Then begin the interview.
In order not to run out of time, set your watch. It doesn't matter if it rings while one of you is speaking. Keep everything simple and straightforward.
When the time is up, bring the interview to a close within a minute and thank them.
Write in your BEEP!Book what you felt: when asking the person if he/she was ready / just before the interview started / during it and at the moment when the alarm clock rang.
Repeat the experiment with two other people from your family and/or your closest circle of friends.

Find someone to interview you. This does not have to be a professional interviewer. Find a person you think would enjoy such an experiment and ask them. Do a short interview of maximum 30 minutes.
You can repeat this as many times as you like with different people in different settings.
- Online or offline
- Recorded or not
- In different languages that you speak or in a fantasy language

Write in your BEEP!Book what you felt: when asking the person if they are ready / just before the interview started / during and after the interview.

Conduct the world's most boring interview. To be able to do that, you first need to think about what makes an interview a boring interview. What is it?
- Is it something to do with the topic?
- Is it the way the questions are asked?
- Is it boring when there are long pauses in talking?
- Are extremely long interviews very very boring?
- Are interviews with old people tremendously boring?
- Is it boring when the interviewer reads off the questions and does not listen to the other person?

When you have researched these criteria (perhaps by researching many interviews), ask a person if you can interview them.
And then conduct it: the most boring interview in the world.

(I recommend you don't let your counterpart know exactly what the experiment is until after the interview).
If possible, record this interview so you can watch it again later and analyze it.

Open a channel on YouTube for your interviews. It's fast and costs nothing. With just a little equipment, you can start uploading your interviews there right away.
Think about what the channel should be called.

Why do you want to conduct interviews?

What is the purpose?

Who is it for?

Describe it and get feedback on the name and channel description from friends / coaches.
Observe your feelings: how do you feel about the whole world suddenly having the opportunity to watch your interviews? How does that affect your interviews?

Write to 10 people you admire for what they have achieved, created or experienced. It doesn't matter if they know you.

Ask them if you can invite them for an interview. Tell them that in the interview you would like to talk to them about what they have achieved, created or experienced.
If they say yes and the interview happens, record it and put it on your new YouTube channel.

There are countless ways to enter an interview. One way is the nonlinear beginning. (By the way, there are also countless ways you can start nonlinear beginnings). Here are some of my ideas.
Find an interviewer and tell them you want to experiment with nonlinear beginnings. Start the interview and do the following even before you say hello:
- Look at the first object that catches your eye: a cup, perhaps. Start the first sentence about the cup that comes to mind and let it drop you into the conversation. An example (actually, I can't give an example here, because an example is very linear; I'll do it anyway): "Here's a cup in front of me on the table. This is a gift from New Zealand from Julia Neumann. I can't look at this cup without thinking of Julia. - Hello Günther, what does it mean to you to receive gifts?"
Try this several times with different items you see. It always works.

Or try this:

- Look at your conversation partner and pick up on something you like about him. For example, you think he has a nice nose. Start the conversation about his nose and then move on to another topic you wanted to talk about. How to do this.
Think about other nonlinear entry points and try them out.

Find an interview partner and tell him that you would like to experiment with him. Prepare an interview with him. Think about everything carefully beforehand:
- What you will talk about with him
- Exactly what questions you will ask
- How long the interview should last
- What you will wear (maybe also what you want your interviewer to wear).
Write down the questions in the order in which you will ask them and ask them in the same way. It's best to read them off so you don't make a mistake. If your interviewee tries to go a different way, be persistent and stick closely to your list of questions.

What are your feelings about it?

After the interview, talk to your interviewee about the interview and your feelings and his or her feelings. Write what you explored in your BEEP!Book.
Meet again on another day and do another interview. This time, don't prepare anything. Don't even think about the topic, just let whatever is there at the time be there.
What are your feelings about that? After the interview, talk to your interviewer about the interview and your and his feelings. Write down in your BEEP!Book what you have explored.
