Andrew Warner is a legend in the podcasting space. He's been podcasting since before podcasts were a thing. He just released a new book called Stop Asking Questions, that you can get check out here: https://www.stopaskingquestions.co/ Andrew Warner is an entrepreneur and host of the hit startup podcast, where he uncovers the secrets of the world’s best founders. Over the course of 2000+ episodes, Andrew has interviewed everyone from Barbara Corcoran, to Gary Vee, to founders of AirBnB. The reason I was so excited to interview Andrew… is because I first started podcasting, trying to think of questions and outline the interviews was a challenge… and it’s still a challenge, there’s no guide or clear direction. I was just guessing. Thankfully, Andrew just wrote a book about it called “Stop Asking Questions”, How to lead High Impact Interviews and Learn from ANYTHING From Anyone.” This exact book I was looking for. If you don’t believe me… take it from Seth Godin… who says… "This is a book about respect. Respecting others enough to interview them well. Respecting your audience enough to do the work. And respecting yourself enough to be clear about what you're doing and why." This conversation served almost as a free one on one consultation from one of the best interviewers in the world, on how how to have an engaging conversation. Please don’t tell Andrew, because I don’t want him to bill me... Crazy enough... Andrew even shared this interview on his OWN podcast, Start Up Stories, which was one of the highest compliments coming from someone like him.

Jules Terpak has created her own unique voice and style on TikTok… and has built a following of over 200,000 people eager to hear her point of view.  See her TikTok here: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMRFkKrrS/ Covering subjects of the future of work, trends on social media, and even politics...she’s positioned herself as a kind of spokesperson for Gen Z creators. In a world where everyone just falls in line, Jules clearly has something to say and that’s what I admired about her content. In this show, we go into exactly how she creates her videos, the future of education, 4 day work weeks, why you shouldn’t duplicate other people’s work, oh and how her content connected her with Andrew Yang and his team, who was running for the mayor of New York City at the time.

So I’m scrolling through Twitter…. And I come across this atomic essay from Matt Ragland. This is what it reads…. 10 Lessons For Aspiring Creators… (https://twitter.com/mattragland/status/1399073914039459841?s=20) The intro reads… “I started creating content with my first blog in 2011. In the 10 years since, I’ve hosted two podcasts, built a YouTube channel, worked at creator-centric start-ups (ConvertKit then podia, and made the jump to full-time creator.” In my 10 year overnight success, I learned a lot of lessons. Here are the best for aspiring creators. I read the rest of the essay… and it’s gold. I resonated with a lot of the points and said... I gotta’ share this with my buddy. Which I normally do when I see fire content. But then I thought, it’d actually be fun to call him and record ourselves breaking down these ten lessons and share our hot takes. And this buddy, is a fellow creator. Here’s worked with me on various projects through the years. He’s created for multiple multi platinum artists, billion dollar brands, and he’s built successful media platforms. Now, he’s not really an in front of the camera kind of guy. He’s more of a behind the scenes builder. As opposed to me, who puts myself out there, my name on everything, yells at the camera, he’s in the cut, just cooking. But that’s his style of being a creator. Neither is better than the other. You have to find what works for you and your personality. I thought it’d be awesome to share his perspective. Again, here's the original tweet if you want to follow along: https://twitter.com/mattragland/status/1399073914039459841?s=20
