A few chapters
along the way
A conversation, whenever you’re ready
Talk with
Tom-Bot
Start with a question about podcast interview marketing, building trust, the ideas in my books, or the next conversation that could change your business. My Delphi AI is trained on my work, writing, interviews, and point of view.
It’s an AI conversation—not a direct message to Tom—but it’s a good place to begin.

Hosted by Tom Schwab, this is the show about turning one good conversation into a compounding trust asset—one that keeps building authority long after the episode airs.
For founders, authors, professional services leaders, and anyone who wants to be a magnet for the right clients instead of a megaphone shouting for anyone’s attention.

A life built on
what’s possible.
From nuclear power to the power of a conversation.
I’m Tom Schwab — author, speaker, and Founder and Chief Evangelist Officer of Interview Valet. I help founders, authors, consultants, and professional services leaders share their expertise through strategic podcast interviews.
Before entrepreneurship, I graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and ran nuclear power plants in the Navy. Engineering taught me to look for the system behind the result. Building businesses taught me how much the people and conversations inside that system matter.
Today, my work brings those lessons together: thoughtful strategy, a clear point of view, and the human connection that helps the right people trust you. Through Interview Valet, my writing, and my speaking, I help leaders get their ideas into the conversations where they can make a difference.
Beyond business, I’m a husband, a grandfather, and a Michigan resident who stays curious. Walking 500 miles on the Camino de Santiago gave me a phrase I carry with me: Plus Ultra — more beyond. There is always another chapter to explore.
