  2. Great video, requested Todd on LinkedIn. He seems like a good guy to follow with a lot of knowledge and experience. Loved the @pepsi Super Bowl story.

    I just read a lot of comments. We all know Gary interrupts and he admits, let him be who he is. No point in commenting because it isn't changing unless his voice going out.

  3. So I know why Gary interrupts: I think he’s the conductor in a way. Sometimes a guest can fall deeply into the truly organic and free flowing nature of the conversations. Gary breaks it up and brings it back to value. The whole time he’s sifting thru what the guest is sharing for the takeaway. I noticed this a while ago and in most videos if you watch with that in mind, you might feel even more appreciation. The best part is if I’m right, he just lets ppl talk shit about it but keeps delivering. So we keep watching. It’s not really an interview – more like an extraction of actionable stuff for the audience plus entertainment.

  4. Hi Gary, quick one. How do I as a small niche find my audience as an entirety. I've found a small market but how do I find the rest of my potential audiences. I'm finding it difficult to locate these potential people.
