055 7 Lessons learnt from interviewing interesting people, Part 1
This week we are celebrating the first anniversary of The Retirement Café Podcast. Believe it or not, we’re on episode 55 and week 52 of the podcast, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to look back at the lessons I’ve learnt over that time from some of the fascinating people I’ve interviewed.
I wasn’t too sure what to expect when I set out on this podcast journey. I knew I would be aiming to talk to lots of people about all aspects of retirement life, and it’s certainly true that I’ve chatted to a diverse group of people. As I look back at all the conversations, a number of themes pop up that are central to many of my conversations.
So, I wanted to take this opportunity – one year on from launch – to share the first 3 of 7 lessons I’ve learnt from chatting with interesting guests.
