  • Smart IU talk

    Love all the guests. Love the insights. Am a subscriber to ITH. I have a friendly suggestion about your interview style: Often you ask a simple question and then spend a minute explaining (and sometimes answering) it before you ask it again and finally let your guest answer. Just ask a question and then follow up with the nuance and caveats after your guest responds. Thanks!
