Legacy Conversation But Timeless

Very interesting And fun. Malcolm is awesome. Joseph is fascinating. Between the two there is an explosion of ideas.

Fasinating Discussion

This is a free flowing discussion of a number of different topics that I found very interesting about different perspectives on topics such as writing styles, authors, human behavior, the corporate world, what makes people successful, etc.

Interesting listen to 2 great authors

Listening to these two authors peeked my interst into looking into their books. Outliers & Blink were great reads..

My first exposure to Finder

He was such a good conversationalist, that I would now like to read his books. I already try to read everything that Malcolm writes😊

Interesting interview!

It's like one author interviewing another author while the other is interviewing the first author.

A conversation, eavesdropped

Audio quality and consistency made it a bit difficult to listen to, they would drop off in. Plume and make it difficult to hear. Content is ok, quality/ listenable not as good.

Very engaging and interesting conversation.

I recommend listening to this after you read Killer Instinct. They talk about various things: corporate guys, sales people, reading facial expressions, and other. They refer to characters in Finder’s book Killer Instinct. I love the way Malcolm Gladwell thinks and writes. He is just as good in this conversation as he always is.

Genre: nonfiction.

Probably best for writer researchers

Some good information about what it takes to succeed in salesmanship. More about writing than anything else
