Can you please allow your guests to talk
Please. Half the podcast is the interviewer interrupting, talking, and generally not allowing the guest to fully speak. Ugh.
Thoughtful Questions & Great Production
I've been a guest and a listener of this great show. Most podcast interviewers ask the same questions over and over—not that there's anything wrong with that! But Jonathan goes deeper, seeking to understand the full trajectory of a guest's journey. What is the good life? Subscribe to this podcast and go through it start to finish. You'll be glad you did.
Good Life Project is Amazing
Such an excellent podcast!
Jonathan Fields is a remarkable interviewer and he brings on the kinds of guests that provide real inspiration which fuels your motivation to chase down those dreams and make wonderful things happen.
I especially liked his interview with Marie Forleo, Seth Godin and Chris Guillebeau and Dan Ariely.
Don't miss this one. :)
