@craigconstantine I am most fully engaged during the middle of my podcast interviews. “Gametime” is always the most fun and energizing part of the process. Despite the importance of good editing, I view that as more of a necessary evil. And inviting guests is akin to being back in high school calling up a girl for a date. You got to do it, but it’s no fun.
