Thank you Frankie,

You are THE BEST interviewer, I have ever spoken to. That is not an exaggeration. It is a fact! You knew my book better than any other interviewer I’ve ever had and I’ve been on dozens and dozens of radio shows. Thank you so much! I look forward to sharing the podcast with my newsletter list, friends and relatives.

Recently I was blessed with the opportunity to be interviewed by Frankie Picasso on her blog talk radio show “Mission Unstoppable”. The key word here is “blessed”. Blessed because the experience, which as I found out just seconds into the interview as Ms. Picasso took control and put me at ease. She revealed her experience and skill as an interviewer with a truly compassionate, comforting, friendly and entertaining demeanor. I had the best time. I don't think I ever enjoyed sharing my real life story regarding the disruption, destruction and rebuilding of my life after its disruption by multiple sclerosis with such fervor.

Frankie's premise for her show “Mission Unstoppable” is fantastic. In her own words she states that her show is about “people who make us feel better just for knowing about them! People who have been able to put faith in a higher power to accomplish their goals dreams and desires. People who despite depression failure or pain remained positive in the face of adversity, disappointments and duress. Guests who inspire and motivate us to do the same. People who make us feel better just from knowing about them”.

People just like Frankie Picasso herself! Frankie is an individual who lives with and who has endured and overcome her own hardship, while inspiring__ motivating and showing us how to do the same.

Thanks for a great experience and God bless,

I've done a lot of radio and TV shows in my day, but appearing on Frankie's show was a truly stand-out experience for me. Frankie is rare, and special, because she pours herself into the moment when she is on air AND because she has so clearly poured herself into the research and preparation before the show. From the systematized and clear information-gathering upfront, to her instructions on what and how to send what, to the way it is so clear that she has done her homework and really crawled inside the experience of the interviewee, Frankie is a true star, who knows how to make others look and feel like stars too. But that is just the beginning. I think there is something else about Frankie that is so ALIVE on air–she is somehow fully present while able to think three steps ahead. She can steer the interview but always, it seems, in a manner that honors the guest and remains responsive to them. Her questions are living, breathing, in-the-moment responses, reactions, and insights that turn a simple interview into a real experience for the listeners. She is vibrant, alive, ship-smart, and dedicated in a way that makes her, truly, a stand-out in her field. I can honestly say that of all the TV and radio and print interviews I have done, this was the one from which I emerged feeling like, "Wow….she totally gets what an interview is all about, and she totally gets me. And she has found a way to share "me" that deeply resonates with what I believe myself to be all about." It's a great feeling!

"As someone who does radio and TV guest appearances, I've met a lot of talk show hosts and other media people. Most of them are talented and hard-working people, and very good at what they do. But until I was a guest on Frankie Picasso's show, I had never encountered someone who impressed me as much on the personal level as on the professional one.
 
"From the moment we began talking, I felt I was having a relaxed-but-intelligent conversation with a long-lost friend. With her diverse and remarkable background, Frankie has a way of putting people at ease and drawing out the best in them. She has an instinctive sense of when to talk, when to listen, when to be serious, and when to be funny. And unlike some other radio hosts, Frankie seemed to know that the show was supposed to be about the guest, not about her.
 
"My guess is that Frankie brings the same skills, the same commitment, the same humanity to her work as a coach. She is clearly a woman with a passion for life and a passion for client service. I know now why they call her "Unstoppable", and I would think that anyone who works with her as a client will quickly be inspired to be unstoppable, as well".

"I really enjoyed my interview with Frankie Picasso. Frankie took the time to read and absorb my book before the interview, she sent me clear instructions and requirements with plenty of time to meet them, she was flexible when I needed to change the date, and her comments and questions during our hour together were spot-on the pulse of what I had written and what I want to share. There was no woffling, just a series of intelligent questions and useful comments – and I love her 'obstacles are fun!' and 'specialising in the impossible!' attitude. This lady provides a fabulous role model of responding to challenges creatively and resourcefully. More power to you, Frankie!" – Liliane Grace, author of The Mastery Club and The Champion Series.
