Meet, Learn From and Interview Your Heroes with Andrew Warner: An EOFire Classic from 2021

This interview podcast features JLD interviewing Andrew Warner, author of "Stop Asking Questions," about mastering conversations and interviews. The discussion covers techniques for building rapport, transitioning from surface-level to deeper conversations (using phrases like "Is it inappropriate to ask you about..." and the one-word question "Because"), and obtaining introductions to valuable contacts by directly asking during interviews. Warner shares anecdotes illustrating these techniques, including a blunder where excessive questioning ruined a potential friendship and a successful icebreaker involving a surprisingly effective question. Listeners gain practical advice on improving communication skills and networking strategies to build relationships and learn from influential people.
