Giving the Jeff Spies interview a do-over

May 13, 2024

I just talked to Jeff Spies, and we decided to re-do our interview, which was the second episode of Wise Talkers. So I’ve taken it down. Neither Jeff nor I were particularly pleased with the interview… at least we know it could have been better. Jeff was fine, this was my shortcoming.

One reason, and something I’ve learned, is that interviewing a good friend presents its own challenge. I found it too easy to slip into friend-mode, rather than interviewer-and-guest mode. For example, I interrupted Jeff too often. Something that friends naturally do sometimes in their personal conversations, but is definitely not conducive to a good professional interview.

So I’ll be better next time, which will likely be sometime in July or August.
