#1355 Chris Winfield interviews me about what I’ve learned from 1000+ founders

1 hour

This interview is a little different because this time I’m the one who’s being interviewed. What you may not know is that over the years, I’ve taught others how to interview. I do that because I think the best way to learn something is to teach it to someone else.

Some of my favorite students are people who I’ve interviewed on Mixergy who said that they wanted to learn interviewing from me to see how I got them to be so open, how I got them to understand themselves better through interviews. When I meet someone through an interview, I get to know them better. We create a bond and they want that.

Well, today’s interview is someone who I interviewed years ago. His name is Chris Winfield and I first had him on Mixergy back in 2009. He was running a search and social media marketing firm back then. So he was ahead of the curve when I had him on.

Well, in 2016 he signed up to learn how to interview from me and soon after, he said, “Andrew, I’m an interviewer now. I want to interview you for my site.”

The reason that I want to post it here is because somewhere towards the middle of the interview, Chris said, “Andrew, you did all these interviews. What did you get out of them? Sum it up for me. What’s the point of it all?” And he drew some interesting ideas and understanding that I didn’t even realize I had from doing all these interviews. I want to share it with you. If you’re a fan of Mixergy, if you’re learning along with me, then I think you’ll get a lot of that.

Chris Winfield is an entrepreneur, writer and coach in New York City.
