I Can’t Believe This Interview Happened Three Months Ago!
In October, Matthew Scott interviewed me for his Men@Pause podcast series.
Don’t know that I’m a man at pause (especially given this tweet), but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. And it’s not every day you get interviewed by a former Psychological Warfare specialist and combat paratrooper!
The broad topic was Gen Y–specifics included:
- Distinctly generational definitions of success
- Why Gen Y prefers multiple mentors
- Generational expectations of online friendships
- Realizing the next generation is already beginning to differentiate themselves from Gen Y
- A brief recap of my summer adventures–and my upcoming TechCrunch internship (now complete–hope to blog more about that soon.)
In retrospect, I did an ok job.
Used too many “ums”, occasionally wandered all over the place, and bombed the last question. Perhaps more extensive mind-mapping would aid brevity. Certainly, next time I’ll enter an interview with two or three salient points I want to drive home–proactive, not just reactive.
On the positive side, there were a few good soundbites that came to me on the fly. And I realized I’m more comfortable than I expected.
(Matthew did a phenom job helping me relax–all that interrogation training. LOL!)
