On this episode of the podcast Molly Buck conducts and co-produces their fantastic, superb, very fun, and really conversational interview with me in person for Episode #292. This is Molly's debut/first time on the podcast.
After our introductions; Molly asked me the following questions:
What was one of the biggest challenges that you faced as a student during your K-12 years and how did you overcome it?
Was there any moment at Drake that changed how you see yourself?
When you think about growth mindset, what motivates you when things get hard?
In a recent episode of the podcast you talked about "MA" and the power of empty space. What do you think the world would be like is more people took the time to practice that to make time for stillness?
Considering the political times we are in what do you think that people in the United States misunderstand most about our politics here?
What cartoon character do you relate to the most?
Do you believe in Ghosts or in the Afterlife?
Do you prefer sweet or salty?
Do you prefer mornings or nights?
What was the last thing that made you laugh out loud? When I answer this question, I talk about the fantastic, superb, outstanding, extremely fun, super energetic, extremely special, and EPIC interview that Micole and Josh Chapman and Jill Bassman conducted/co-produced with me on Friday May 9th for Episode#289; during that episode of the podcast all of us were laughing several times during several moments of the interview.
What is the best compliment you've ever received?
Would you rather have a text or a phone call?
What's your favorite smell?
Do you ever wear socks with sandals?
What one or two or three things would you bring to a Desert Island?
In answering some of the questions I bring up side topics related to that question. After I answered a couple of the questions, Molly also shares her answer to those particular questions.
