    Here's "A Question For" You | The Safe Room w/ Special Guest: Faizah Balogun (Part 2) [EXTENDED & UNCUT EDITION]

    Send a text This episode was recorded on January 9, 2024. Here's a question for you. What happens when you get two individuals who love to tell stories, love to ramble, and have no regard for ending a conversation? You create a special memory and a historical episode. This week on The Safe Room, we continue our conversation with Faizah Balogun, founder of A Question For, and this episode is like NO OTHER. Our activity portion is Faizah taking the wheel and interviewing me for the first 15 minutes. Next, we get into a deep conversation about wanting to rewind, pause, or fast forward in our lives and what impact it leaves on us. Then, just as we were about to wrap up, Faizah was determined to break the record for the longest episode in TSR history, so we kept the conversation going with some random, but fun banter. Sooner than later, we hit around the 1h55m mark, setting a new record for the longest interview with a solo guest. Faizah's drive and determination are not only shown in this episode, but the work she puts in for AQF and I'm so happy to sit down with her and share the amazing story she continues to tell.  Timestamps: 0:20 - Continuation of Conversation - Activity Exercise: Faizah Interviews Shon 14:16 - Past, Present, Future Question 28:04 - Things Take A Turn… 29:06 - Going Off The Script - Extended Version HERE ON OUT! 47:23 - Making History (WE BROKE THE RECORD!) 51:23 - Conclusion Follow A Question For on Instagram and join their waitlist!
