  1. Shel,
      Just finished listening to 152 and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a pleasure to have Eric join the discussion. It’s amazing how each of the three contributors changes the dynamic of the show so dramatically when they guest present by just being themselves.
      I must admit, I was skeptical when I heard Eric was to be on the show. I love Eric’s podcast, and when I was teaching the “interviewing” class at the university I would use “On the record…online” because of Eric’s unique interviewing style. But I wasn’t sure how he was going to fit into the FIR discussion. All doubts erased, it was another excellent show. The dynamic changed, indeed, but the alternative perspective and insight made for great listening. Kudos all around.
      Thanks for all your effort and time. Incidentally, good luck on the McGraw/Hill draft. We’re all patiently waiting…
