Had the opportunity to be a guest and Andres is a phenomenal interviewer. Although we’ve never met in person, he truly feels like a friend and is really good at asking thoughtful questions. Looking forward to going through the older podcasts of my old book friends!
Every time I listen to this podcast, I feel like I’m eavesdropping on a conversation with super sharp people discussing really cool, stuff! There are times when I kind of zone out and forget it’s a podcast and want to jump in and ask a question, lol. So whether you sold books for Southwestern, made fun of someone who sold or wish you had sold, this is a great podcast to listen to. Andres is relaxed, warm, funny and smart all good traits for a podcast host.
Fun and unique place to hear a lot of impactful and funny book field stories and about how that chapter of our life on the field impacts and transfers to all kinds of industries. Great job Andres!
