How to ask better questions — lessons from behind the mic

Hosting a podcast has changed how I speak — and more importantly, how I listen. I’ve learned that a good question isn’t about showing what you know. It’s about opening a space where the other person can reveal what they know — or who they are.
So much of today’s conversation is performance. But when someone feels safe, seen, and respected, they go deeper. The real story comes out. And the magic happens in the follow-up: the pause, the curiosity, the willingness to explore the uncomfortable.
Whether you’re a podcast host, a leader, a friend, or simply someone trying to connect — better questions can change your relationships. Ask with intention. Listen without agenda. Follow the thread.
The people I interview on Parcours Atypique often tell me, “I’ve never said this out loud before.” That’s the power of holding space — and of learning to ask questions that matter.
