Today on Too Opinionated, Michael turns the tables on fellow interviewer Janette Burke, award-winning media personality, producer and creator/host of Janette's TV & Janette's TV Podcast. With more than 20 years in media, Janette has built her career around asking thoughtful—and sometimes difficult—questions while creating an environment where guests feel comfortable opening up. And what a guest list! 🎬 Janette has interviewed Tom Hanks, Helen Mirren, Halle Berry, Bradley Cooper, Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Martha Stewart, Kevin O'Leary and many more. Before stepping in front of the camera, Janette spent 17 years as a publicist, eventually following her own dream and building an independent media platform that has produced hundreds of episodes and reached audiences around the world. We talk: 🎤 The art of conducting a great interview 🔥 Asking the hard questions without losing your guest 🎬 What she's learned interviewing Hollywood stars 📺 Building Janette's TV & Podcast outside traditional television 💡 Making the leap from publicist to on-camera personality 🎥 Why preparation and authenticity matter on camera 💪 Surviving trauma, bullying, stalking and adversity ❤️ Rebuilding confidence and self-worth 🚀 Reinventing yourself at any stage of life 🎙️ Coaching CEOs and entrepreneurs to communicate on camera At the heart of Janette's story is a message she now brings to audiences as a keynote speaker: "Your past does not define your future." Two interviewers. Two different styles. And one conversation about what really happens when the questions start getting difficult. 👉 Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@MeisterkhanPod #JanetteBurke #JanettesTV #CelebrityInterviews #Podcasting #TVHost
