 Interview Formats

1. Breaking News Needing an Integrity Analysis:

   You know it’s a safe bet that politicians, businesspeople and other public figures will continue to hit the integrity self-destruct button. Interview Dr. Gruder whenever you want to provide your audience with “America’s Integrity Expert’s” perspective about any breaking story in which issues of ethics, integrity or character are involved – self-integrity, relationship integrity, societal integrity, leadership integrity, business integrity, academic integrity, journalistic integrity... well you get the idea...

2. Upcoming Events with Integrity Themes:

   Interview Dr. Gruder whenever an event is coming up that has an integrity tie-in, from the Fourth of July to Christmas to Valentines Day. Here are a couple of examples:

   • Obama Administration Integrity Score Card:

     Beginning at the end of April, 2009, Dr. Gruder will issue his “First 90 Days Integrity Score Card” for the Obama administration. He will continue providing periodic Integrity Score Cards therafter.

   • Woodstock's Lost Lessons for Today's World:

     Woodstock’s 40th anniversary is in August, 2009 and Dr. will be sharing a funny story about how his very traditional parents sent him to Woodstock as a 15-year-old drug-free virgin. He left there not only a drug-free virgin but with some surprisingly important lessons from this history-making event that few people ever touch upon when they talk about Woodstock: valuable lessons for all of us about human nature, integrity, and our capacity to look after one another.

3. Evergreen Integrity Topics Independent of News Cycles:

   If you prefer to interview Dr. Gruder regularly, consider adding an "Integritize America" segment at whatever frequency fits best for your format. Prior to each appearance you and Dr. Gruder will custom-create a segment around whichever integrity-related theme you believe has the greatest traction with your audience at that time. Here are a couple examples of theme-centered evergreen topics:

   • The Toughest Jobs to Have Integrity:

     This topic is great for call-in shows. You would start by discussing the jobs that both you and Dr. Gruder see as the toughest ones to maintain integrity in, and then open the phone lines for callers to add to the list.

   • The Forgotten 1970s Culture Split That Created Today's Problems:

     Dr. Gruder discusses the huge price we continue to pay today for a split that occurred in the early 1970s that was more devastating than the mind-body-spirit split: the Self-Improvers, Connectors, Do-Gooders split.

4. “Ask the Integritizer” Segments:

   If you take call-ins, invite callers to ask The Integritizer for advice about an integrity dilemma that they, or someone they know, are dealing with. Another way to do these segments is to select an integrity-related topic or story and ask your listeners ahead of time to think about questions to ask Dr. Gruder about it.

5. “Integrity Stimulus Plan” Five-Part Series:

   Last and best, if you are passionate about providing your audience with a real education about what they can do to make a much bigger difference than they think they can, invite Dr. Gruder to do this series. Each segment focuses on one of the five Integrity Stimulus Plan ingredients: Life Fulfillment Integrity, Health Integrity, Economic Integrity, Citizen Integrity and Problem-Solving Integrity. He will include tips for creating a personally customized Integrity Pledge for each ingredient. Complete details are at www.IntegrityStimulusPlan.org
