One of the many lessons I’ve learned in these last 2 months of podcasting (and 4 months total of recording) is that you can’t edit when people speak over one another, there’s no organic way to fix it. When we interrupt people (1) it derails the conversation. You don’t necessarily ever get back to the train of thought the other person was in before you (intentionally or unintentionally) changed the subject, and if it was brilliant, it’s gone. (2) It tells people that we believe whatever we have to say is more important or better than whatever you have to say. (3) You never learn. We always think we know how people will react or what they’re going to say, but we really don’t. If I am always the one speaking, I’m just recycling the same thoughts that already live between my ears, and never learning from anyone else.
