I'm seriously flabbergasted by the constant interruptions while the guest was in the midst of sharing insightful thoughts. The interviewers' tendency to interject and divert the conversation was not only frustrating but truly did a disservice to the guest, who clearly had so much more to offer. Interrupting is often considered one of the top rookie mistakes in podcast interviewing. Just some feedback I'd like to share; still wish you guys the best.

Basically this is a guy who build really nothing+nothing, running after current fashions, and never get really deep into anything. Yea he makes money because he did one digital nomad project that brought him so much hype in which he uses to get more people to other useless projects, but as you know this effect will not keep forever.

Gentlemen… I have to echo what a lot of people here are mentioning regarding the interruptions. Mainly because we didn’t get to hear him wrap up some of his insights and that’s what we are here for, to get his perspective! This may seem nit-picky, hopefully you take it as constructions but I also found it very weird that one of the hosts jumped off abruptly and because of a phone call. Emergencies may pop up but it didn’t seem like it was one. Just felt awkward and like the guests time wasn’t carefully planned around. I mean all of this in the best way by the way. That aside, glad the video was suggested. Officially going to be following up on the guest and his work.

This is the best interview for the season of life I find myself in; I have always had ideas having worked in Financial services that I have brought in house that should be brought into the consumer market..but self doubt and no one to share the approach with has caused me to walk away; but this interview woke me up.

Following him for the last 8 years! Missing his website / blog with all the projects on it! He would write down and blog about his whole journey of building websites and monetizing it. 12 startups in 12 months! So awesome.

Suggestion: It would be nice to stream this layout with the main speaker in one large panel and Sam/Shaan in 2 smaller windows or something similar. It feels a bit awkward to have one person (active speaker) full screen and pretty zoomed in all the time for an interview style podcast and quick switching in between them.

The format works as is for me. You probably would like a format like Tom Bilyeu's interview style when they are in-person both speakers can be seen in a single shot with less zoomed in and individual shots.

Never heard of any one on the show, this popped into my suggested videos and I loved listening. I loved learning about Pieter and his story. Its very inspiring and I will definitely check out his projects. Feedback for the podcast hosts: Its very important to give the interviewee time to speak. I know you guys love to talk and are very excited and want to chime in with comments or anecdotal stories, but that time is for the interviewee. It was really annoying to hear you cut-off the other person almost every 3 minutes that they were speaking just so you can add something to what they were saying. That kind of ruins the experience of listening for me. Allow them to finish their train of thought, then you can share something.

FYI, Sonder is not an aparthotel. "Apartment hotels" or aparthotels are popular in some countries outside the USA; they're hotels with rooms that are more like apartments. They have all the benefits of a hotel, but are designed for longer stays. You can stay as little as 1 night, though. Not the same as renting many rooms in an apartment and "Airbnbing" them or short-term leasing them, which is what Sonder type businesses do.

It’s great that you’re trying to introduce This Guy However more from the guest would be appreciated

Residence Inn was sold to Marriott years ago. A great success story.

Several thoughts 1. This guy looks exactly like NBA player Domantas Sabonis. 2. This interview was not informative since it did not explain how he monitizes his websites. For example, how does his job board make money. Companies like ZipRecruiter had to build out a massive sales team to start generating revenue from companies. 3. There were no hard questions asked, just people sharing mindset. Where was the useful information?
