Asking core questions about the topic

Asking core questions about the topic means digging in with provocative angles. "Isn't it really hard to bake without eggs?" gives your guest a clean shot at the myths.

Here, you dig in and explore by asking seemingly provocative questions. Guests are usually glad to answer them — it gives them a chance to counter claims they hear all the time.

"So, you're a Vegan Baking Specialist — isn't it really hard to bake without eggs?" Or: "Doesn't homeschooling just deprive kids of making friends?"

Questions like these let you pick out common myths and misconceptions to talk through and clarify. "What's the most common reason people fail at this?" sounds negative but throws up genuinely actionable answers.

"What's the one thing you wish you knew when you were just getting started?" puts a much better spin on the tired "advice for folks just starting out".
