Andrew: Hey, before we start, I’ve got to tell you that this interview got really awkward and I take full responsibility. It’s my fault. I know why I did it. I had some sharp questions to ask and I know that I’ve been seeing a lot of podcasters do interviews and just be really nice and supportive of everything that the guest says without doing any research and without challenging anything. I know as a listener, that bothers me.
I know that my guests like when I do research and like when I ask the sharper questions. But I also accept that in this interview, I did not have my usual soft touch and I wasn’t so much reacting to my guest as I was reacting to my need not to be like a lot of podcasters and interviewers. I don’t take back any of the questions I asked. I don’t take back any of the research. I think this was my style of interviewing from beginning to end, but I do wish that I wasn’t so abrasive.
I will tell you...
