And therefore, I might have to revisit because my audience comes to me because they see me as someone who they can trust.

So I love this question.

I think my because is about trust.

getting at the truth.

I think I'm still that naive kid who was taught right from wrong, good from bad, truth versus lies.

And I still believe that the lies should be exposed, the bad should be exposed, but so should the good.

So should those stories about people and things and issues that either people really care about or...

more importantly, that they should care about and they might not know about.

Oh, wow.

Well, thank you.

You know, at the root of that, that connection you're talking about is curiosity.

You have to be in these jobs, in these roles, especially as a podcaster, because we're in people's ears.

It's one of the most intimate experiences that a person can have.

And so because it's so personal and so intimate,

you know, being curious about the other person or being curious about the subject.

And, you know, I will have some preset questions just as a safety net.

But if someone says something that is interesting to,

I'm going to go there.

I'm totally going to go there because that is what makes it interesting.

And also, because we're doing this face to face, you know that it's also a matter of not so much of what the person is saying.
