Getting to know the entrepreneurs as people
Daniel has a gift to interview his guests such that it feels like a natural conversation. This allows you to get to know the founders beyond what you’d read about them in the paper or what you’d learn about them through more topic specific interviews.
Great show - great guest, I can highly recommend it.
