In this episode, Zach wants you to know that you will run Into a guest that gets longwinded with the question. If you are fading away in listening into a longwinded answer of a guest, you’re listeners is probably gone. Zach wants you to get out of there as fast as you possibly can and that can be tricky. Two ways to go about it that Zach have used are, Number 1 - Think about the next question that you are gonna ask that you think will tie in what your guest is talking about and If you can find a break where they take a breath or something - jump in with that question. It is not ideal but neither is the longwinded answer they are giving either. Number 2 - If you think you can take a chance at them finishing their answer soon, if you can feel them getting ready to end their answer after their very longwinded response. Then when you jump back in for your next question, you say something like the following and make sure it is very non-abrasive  and non-aggressive in the way you say the following. That gets the job done. There is a third one, Zach is not a huge fan of it but sometimes in a very rare situation it does work. You interrupting an interviewee by using verbal cues, Zach is very much against it but it might work. Zach will use it as the very last resort - that is a third option. Those are the 3 Ways to Stop a Longwinded Answer from a Guest.
