Before I came here, I presumed you had a reason for doing the podcast with me, and I wanted to meet this one-way friend and have a conversation about the puzzle I've been longing to solve: who am I?

The relationship between a podcast host and their audience is unique, as listeners often feel a personal connection, which can lead to a deeper understanding of the host's character.

Listening to a podcast creates an intimate experience, allowing listeners to feel a connection with the speaker.

I don't go on other people's podcasts anymore; I had to make an exception for you because you're the OG who put me on the map.

I started my podcast, The Social Radars, to reconnect with the startup community and share stories of triumph and failure from founders. I wanted to create informal conversations with startup founders so people could understand the real stories behind the startups, rather than just scripted media messages.

I often think of insights as if I'm preparing to share them on a podcast, which I initially thought was a bad habit but have come to accept as part of my thought process.

In the age of podcasts, listeners can develop a relationship with hosts through hours of content, creating a sense of familiarity that traditional media does not provide.

I hope that listeners enjoy the unstructured conversations on my podcast, as they often lead to genuine and fascinating insights.

I played a personalized podcast called Pocket Pot, and my wife thought it was NPR until it played a quote of me talking, which was surprising and fun.
