I enjoy this. Thanks for the content Ian. I listen to this great podcast everyday.
Like the pod, good content but the ask a question, sit back, ask a question, sit back, ask a question, sit back doesn’t give the listener much more than just what the guest can answer, esp guests that are nervous etc. Just engage more and I think you can get even deeper. That’s all. That’s my opinion and suggestion.
Great show.
Great.
Let me start by saying I f$&;ing hate podcasts. I’ve given all of them a try. Crime. Comedy. Motivational. Blah blah blah they’re all the same. Not my boy Ian. The way he is always completely composed and so genuinely kind to each and every single guest. He’s my favorite interviewer because he NEVER makes it about him. Ever. And his mom did a great job.
