Yeah. Scott, I wanna transition into content world outside of podcasts. You've published a number of books. Which book is the hardest and which was the most enjoyable and why?
I had someone about 15 years ago ask me the question, what is the book that I've read the most? And then they followed up, which is the book that I've gifted the most? I'd like to know your answer to both of those.
In terms of... Doing content over and over every single day is hard. It's hard to stay fresh. It's hard to stay fun. I've done television for 10 years and I'm doing three documentaries this year. My secret for staying fresh and having fun is doing little prep so I show up authentic. What does your routine look like, Scott, so that you still enjoy it every single day?
In terms of how you've changed, you've been interviewing for a decade, two decades, three decades at this point. Maybe you've fine-tuned your craft over time. I know that I did that by spending a lot of time on Cal Fussman, a journalist from Brooklyn who went to University of Missouri. I just deep-dived on him. But I've changed my craft less over the last couple years than I did at the beginning.
What have you done in the last couple years that you have done to improve your interviewing skills?
Thank you. It took some time, but picking up that craft helps with my marriage and with my eight-year-old, so I appreciate that. The thing that I had to adjust after one or two years is I realized I had to quit paying attention to the camera. Since I'm on camera, 10,000 hours in front of a camera, that's not what matters. Me being authentic is what matters. The camera guy will do his job.
He's great at that. I'm not great at camera. I should just try to be authentic and you put those two things together and then hopefully you can make the person you're interviewing the star.
Well, it's been an honor to have this conversation with you today. For listeners, if this struck a chord with you, do us a favor. Hit subscribe, share with somebody who needs to hear this, and keep tuning in to the Becker's Healthcare Podcast. Scott, thank you for trusting me with your seat today.
