How Cal retrained Alex to interview by being comfortable.
Alex Banayan's framework, from The Third Door, pp. 134 to 186.
- Do not treat it as an interview
Sit at the table, eat breakfast and relax.
- Leave the notepad at home
Bring only the recorder.
- Let curiosity ask the questions
Follow what you genuinely want to know.
