Show Notes

What makes a fantastic question and how do you make your guest feel comfortable?

In Episode #397 of 'Musings', Juan & I discuss: Andrew Huberman's interview with Tim Ferriss, what we have learned from 90 conversations on our podcast, the importance of prep and actually caring about the topics, the grey zone between a conversation and an interview and some of our favourite moments from interviews that we have seen/heard.

Dependable support from Dave Jones, McIntosh and two anonymous Mere Mortalites. Super shoutouts to Gene Bean and Nick for the baller boosts as well!
