The New York nix have won their first championship. I just anchored a lot of people Some podcasting heuristics have gathered from you if you want someone to feel seen Either bring up something that they've written a long time ago or something from their past that they're proud of yeah It's interesting because if you do research From someone or on someone you know more about them potentially in that moment that they know about themselves Hmm, and so if you want to get someone to learn something new about themselves One of the best ways to do it is to go into their digital Archive or physical archive If they've written books and be like oh like I saw you wrote you wrote down on page Two

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.
