Before we get started, this interview is sponsored by Fast Customer. You ever have to make a phone call, say, to your bank but don’t want to wait on hold for half an hour until a real person gets on the phone?

Well, with Fast Customer, you just do what I do, right here on my iPhone. I’ve had it since it launched. You just type in the person you want to reach. In my case, I’m going to go to City Bank Credit Card Support.

They will call them. They will get a person the phone and then they’ll connect me. I don’t have to press one, or press zero, or do any of it, or wait on hold. I get to go back to work and they call me when the person is available to talk to me.
