            Thanks Jeremy. Quick question for you. Do you do pre-interviews with your guests?

          • Dr. Jeremy Weisz on April 30, 2016 at 6:48 pm

            Yes I do them right before I go into the interview and I keep it to 5-10min

          • Rohit on May 3, 2016 at 2:13 am

            I see, thanks for the info. I also get only 10min for my interviews and not able to use all of Andrews strategies. I will checkout more of your interviews. Thanks.
