Last Thursday I recorded the interview for Episode 2 with professional poker player and childhood friend, Brett Richey. Unlike the incredible fear I had before listening to my first interview with Borbay (it took me 3 weeks to listen to it), I couldn't wait to listen to the audio that I got with Brett. The difference had nothing to do with the guests and everything to do with me just being strangely nervous and fearful of hearing my own voice from the Borbay interview.
Having overcome that discomfort, I listened closely to the Brett interview in hopes that the content come across interesting (it does), but also to critique my style. With no formal coaching or practice prior to the Borbay interview, I think I am doing OK so far. However, in the Brett interview the number of times I say "certainly" is overwhelming. I am glad to have discovered the habit, and look forward to breaking it, but it started to sound to me like fingernails on a chalkboard. I hope I am being overly critical of myself. I will allow you the listener to be the judge. The interview with Brett will be posted on Friday, November 1st. Please listen and send me any and all constructive criticism. I certainly would appreciate it!
