On Marketplace, one of my favorite NPR shows, host Kai Ryssdal often asks his guests to describe what they do in 6 words or less.
This is a great exercise so you’re prepared not just for radio interviews but for that moment that could happen anywhere that could change everything.
If you can be captivating in 6 words, who wouldn’t want to hire you?
Here’s mine: Triple your business with media appearances. What’s yours?
Ernest Hemingway inspired the “say it in 6 words” with his famous short story that is poignant and brief: For sale: Baby shoes, never worn.
Then Smith Magazine picked it up and turned it into a craze.
