I'm interviewing [WHO — name/role] about [TOPIC] for [podcast / research / hiring / customer discovery]. What I already know: [2-3 lines] What I actually want to find out: [the real goal] Write 12 questions: - 3 warm-ups that aren't generic - 6 core questions targeting what only this person can answer — concrete, and no two that could get the same answer - 2 that respectfully challenge their known position - 1 closer that tends to produce a quotable answer Order them, and mark the 4 to keep if I only get ten minutes.
