In this episode, Adam speaks to reality TV producer Maz Farrelly. Maz has made some of the biggest shows on 3 continents, including Britain’s Got Talent, Dancing with the Stars, Big Brother and Celebrity Apprentice – interviewing 12,000 hopefuls along the way. She now works with businesses to help them make themselves more interesting.

Maz shares her learnings on what it takes to really engage an audience, the three secrets of great content, and how to be interesting enough to get cast in one of her shows. Along the way, we discuss:

Why, if you’re ambitious, you have to see everything as a ‘production’
How your dog produces you to get what it wants
What ‘white noise’ is, and why it matters
How to interview well enough to get into the Big Brother house
Why many of us have become lazy producers, particularly in big companies
When ‘fine’ isn’t good enough if you want to be the Number 1 Show
Asking the questions to discover the interesting story in everyone (and how to make a dull person interesting for a TV audience)
Why you can only last for a week before you ‘leak’
The power of subverting expectations as a producer
The recipe for great content on television (and how to play Susan Boyle Bingo)
The importance of really ‘scratching’ to get to what’s interesting
Three bits of advice on how to be a great producer and be more interesting
How to apply this to our business and personal life

Maz is as fascinating as she is funny. We hope you enjoy this wonderfully stimulating conversation with someone who makes everything she does a little more interesting.
