Interview with the Host–November 7th, 2008 Show

November 13, 2008

I had the honor of turning the tables on Sound Authors host Dr. Kent Gustavson and interviewed him about the guests on last week’s show.

1) What did you learn about being ‘filthy rich’ when you spoke to author Christopher Tennant? Can anyone achieve the “ranks” of being wealthy?

Christopher Tennant’s book is HYSTERICAL! Many books come across my desk, but seldom does a book accompany me to my armchair and to the proverbial john. This book kept me entertained for hours, when I should have been working. It’s written as a guidebook for the filthy rich, and is enticingly detailed in its descriptions! The voyeur in all of us comes out with the satirical looks at the true elite. Anyone can get rich, but Tennant shows how to BE rich. This book deserves three thumbs up.

2) You spoke to Kathleen Beisel author of ‘Eat Your Way to Good Natural Health’..she says that by changing the way we eat we can achieve ideal weight and health without drugs or pain. Did speaking to her inspire you to change diet and they way you look at food? I

played the devil’s advocate on the show when I was speaking with her — telling her about my penchant for fries and junk food. But in actuality I’m a healthy fella, though I eat large quantities of healthy foods:) I think that there are certainly ways to significantly extend your life, and live a happier life, and Kathleen Beisel talked about many of those ways. But seriously, she really thinks she can make asparagus tasty? I doubt it:) But I’m no big fan of asparagus…

3) Warren Whitlock the author of “Twitter revolution” spoke to you about Twitter, the new social media. Has Twitter changed the way you do business and market online? If so how?

Twitter will soon influence the way we all do business online, and the way we interact with one another. In the recent election, it was clear that the internet plays a larger role in our lives than anyone would ever have guessed a decade ago. Twitter is the new revolution, and Warren Whitlock is right in the center of the revolution. It was a blast to speak with him, and we will continue to twitter @warrenwhitlock and @drkent.

4) You had the honor of interviewing Dublin Based Elder Roche, who has a unique style of theatrical story telling. Tell me your thoughts on this interview.

Elder Roche has an extraordinary voice, and a sound that takes the “ordinary” and just perfectly flips it on its head, like a cake baked upside down, then turned over to reveal delightful crust and sweetness. His songs are somewhere between lullaby and metal, and fully contagious!
