A little bit "Louis Theroux", a little bit Borat. A lot of learning.

Why I Don't Do "Slick" Interviews

Let's be honest – a lot of interviews out there can feel kind of...staged. They sound like marketing pitches. The interviewer asks a setup question, and the guest rolls out a carefully-rehearsed elevator pitch for their business, project, or idea. It's polished, but it isn't all that interesting.

I'm not about that life.

My approach is a bit different, and it boils down to a few key ideas

Democratising Knowledge I believe breaking down complex stuff into plain language is essential. Big words and jargon shouldn't be a barrier to learning or understanding. That's why you'll often hear me ask "stupid" questions – because they rarely are!

The Power of "Why"

Sure, it's good to know what someone does. But it's even more compelling to hear their story – the why behind their passion. That's where we dig into what drives people, what inspires them, and the motivations behind what they bring to the world.

The Curious Student

Even if I know a bit about a topic, I approach every interview with curiosity and the willingness to learn. Think of me as your proxy – I'll be the one to ask those questions that might be swirling around in your head (even the slightly "oddball" ones).

No Fluff Zone

This isn't about the interviewer showing off their expertise. I want my guests to shine. My job is to facilitate a conversation that cuts through the marketing jargon and gets to the heart of things.

What this means for YOU

Whether you're a prospective listener or a potential guest, here's what you can expect:

For unsupervised learning podcast listeners

If you want the real story– success, setbacks, and everything in between– you'll find it here. I won't shy away from the tough questions, but the vibe will be respectful and focused on discovery, not on "gotcha journalism."

For guests

This is a space to ditch the elevator pitch and let your personality show. Don't worry if you think your story is messy or unconventional. That's the most interesting stuff! If you're ready for a conversation that feels more organic, more human...let's talk.

I believe this kind of interview style makes for a more engaging listening experience AND unlocks the kind of knowledge that can change people's perspectives. I want everyone coming away from my interviews feeling like they gave the opportunity to share their brain, not like they've put their "best face forward".
