Grit

One of the best podcasts in my library (top 3) he does a great job of interviewing business leaders. I like it because it’s mainly CRO and CEO. But mostly because I love biographies of entrepreneurs and hearing their stories and struggles of how the built companies. This is similar and a great insight into how top execs think and live

I haven’t found a podcast with such high caliber, accomplished guests within the tech industry. I’ve been listening since the early days and still listen; however, I’ve always hoped Joubin would develop more as an interviewer. He clearly does his research and has now had such intimate access to so many successful individuals, but he regularly interjects with personal stories, opinions, and commentary that takes away from the focus, the guest. The delta between his professional experience and these guests is more than significant, and it comes out when guests seem to regularly redirect back to a relevant topic. I’ve also noticed that he seems to often miss great opportunities to go deeper into a guest response by asking a second order question, yet he jumps to the next, unrelated question. All in all, I’m always impressed with the guests, but I wish the interviewer would work harder to take the back seat more often.

Interviewer has annoying habit of asking 3-4 questions in a row, which detracts from interviewees’ answers

Only call out is that it’s very much white men skewed….
