ENTREPRENEURS
Is the Ev Williams Interview Worth Your Time?
It would be easy to cast stones, but I had a different reaction
I don’t usually listen to interviews with successful entrepreneurs. Founder interviews can be boring and often infuriating as some accidentally wealthy person babbles on about their alleged business brilliance.
I knew I needed to listen to Ev Williams because, well, I write here and he owns the place, so, duh. But when I saw that it is 52 minutes long, I sighed deeply.
Oh, well, I thought: I’ll be listening on OverCast, so it will be much less than 52 minutes and I can scrub through the truly boring and insufferable parts.
There were not any. Nothing boring, and everything was quite the opposite of insufferable. I scrubbed not, I skipped naught. Ev came across as having a personality I could strongly relate to.
I enjoyed the interview and wanted more when it ended.
