I've been scheduling a few interviews again. It's interesting to see that people are often quite self-deprecating about being a good candidate to be interviewed on my podcast. People can always indicate why they are not exciting guests, but let's start at the opposite end. Think about why you would be a good guest for my podcast. And I notice that a lot. People often start with the negative. Why not start with the po...

Sending out messages to all attendees and speakers, making sure roll-up banners are ordered, putting together staff briefings for the Do iOS team and for the catering team, and preparing "filler" slides for when speakers are switching. Hotel bookings for team members. It is just a lot of ...
