Episode notes

David Prell is thoughtfully done a podcast and then you wrote about that and stayed with me all these years Yeah, I mean part of it is Many of the best things that happen in a podcast happen once somebody Initially thinks that they're done and you just give them an extra second. So have you found anyone who writes well about conversation? I read Larry King's book and That was pretty solid. But I'm always open if anyone has gotten a good link send them my way on Twitter because I'malways looking for good writing on conversation.

David Perell is a writer and the creator of Write of Passage - an online writing school focused on building the next generation of internet citizens. In March 2020, I stumbled across David’s account and was blown away by his tweets. They were thoughtful and insightful. So when he suggested interviewing me at his brand new studio, I was honored.

In this conversation we spoke about some of my podcasting secrets, how I do my research, why I admire people like Joe Rogan, Tim Ferriss, Chris Williamson, and Taylor Rooks, the biggest area I believe I need to improve as a podcaster, and what I’m usually doing on Sunday at noon. Some of what we talked about I’ve never shared publicly, and it’s only because of David’s ability as an interviewer to get it out of me.
