Episode Transcript:I remember a particular instance with a guest named Lucy. She's a journalist, and to prepare for the interview, I decided to do a deep dive into her LinkedIn profile. While it helped me identify potential pain points and discussion topics, I'll admit it felt a bit strange at times.During the interview with Lucy, I brought up something from her past, something that happened around 10 years ago. Her surprise was palpable—she couldn't believe I knew about that particular detail. I chuckled as she asked, "How did you know this?" I had to confess that I had simply gone through her LinkedIn history, tracing back to her earliest posts.Reflecting on that experience, it's clear that while researching your guests is essential for crafting meaningful conversations, there's a delicate balance to maintain. There's the risk of creeping people out, or worse, making them feel uncomfortable with how much you know about their past. It's a reminder that thorough research should be handled with care, focusing on areas that are directly relevant to the interview's objectives.--------------------------------------------Disclaimer:Hey guys Jeffrey here with another episode.So you might have noticed a strange voice which is not but an AI voice.Before you go and unsubscribe me hear me out.I have been sick for the past 2 weeks and the promise of posting episodes every day - I just couldn't follow up.No matter how much good content I have because of my health I can't do it.So I have written the episode script myself and I have posted it.Hope you enjoy the episode.---------------------------------------Audio - Elevan Labs
