Abel Thanks for sharing your expertise on how you grew such a passionate audience and your inspiration for the idea.
Great interview! Abel is a wealth of knowledge.
Thanks Anthony! What was your favorite part?
Be prolific not perfect! Words to live by
David you always pick up on the best quotes! I wrote that one down across my notepad also as the interview was going. Thanks for pointing that out.
It hit me in the face when he said that. I love how he decided to do his own thing and the realness of himself
Yes, that struck me also because often times I find myself trying to make things too perfect and I need to remember just to get it out there!
Jeremy – I’d say my favourite part is really just listening to Abel talk. He’s very easy going, and naturally comfortable on air. You did a great job of setting that tone too by the way. He’s a voice that’s calming and reassuring to listen to, a real radio personality. This gives me the confidence to trust what he’s saying… like for instance now. I believe that I can go out and just start a podcast or write a book. What more could you want from listening to an interview like this, so thanks for the inspiration!
I am so glad you were inspired. Yes Abel definitely has a calming presence. Let me know what you think of my last question and if that made the interview more personal. Should I have included that clip in the extras? have a great day Geordie!
The last question is great. I’m glad you put him on the spot – he exited the question equally as gracefully.
Thanks Geordie. I like there to be some surprises in the interview 🙂 have a great day and I always love your feedback!
