Episode notes

I'm better at taking the thoughts that are in my head and bringing them to reality. By doing it a lot of times, I've also just become more curious about what other people think. Good writing inspires me because it's always been has been how I've been most comfortable communicating. So as long as I have that That idea for what great looks like,. I feel like it's only a matter of time until I actually get to that point If I'm consistent if I actually set out to get better as a writer, but yeah, my eye for writing really inspires me.

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.
