The breadth of Michael’s knowledge and interests and his ability to lead the authors makes for wonderful discussions.

  • Intellect and Preparedness

    Not only is Michael a very smart and thoughtful interviewer, but his preparation enables him to have a conversation with each guest that flows seamlessly. Because he knows his subject matter and guest so well, he never fumbles for a question or is unable to have an energetic and free-flowing discussion. Michael is a first rate interviewer with a first rate mind.
