We conduct interviews with the assumption that our audience is not an expert on the topic we’re discussing. That’s why we always prompt our guests to avoid acronyms, ditch the fancy-sounding jargon-y language, and be as clear as possible.
You’ve got enough stress in your life. That’s why we don’t spend our entire interview yelling over our guests and blurting out our own opinions. Sure, we ask them important questions, but we also honor their intelligence and let them speak for longer than 30 seconds at a time.
For any of our podcasts, you can read a short synopsis (if you don’t have time to listen to a full episode) or you can listen to the entire interview (which can be 30 – 60 minutes long). It’s all part of our commitment to honoring your busy schedule and your intelligence, all at the same time. Read a little, or listen to a lot. We’ll make sure you’re informed either way.
