Mike's feedback on his experience interviewing with The ANBRWY Podcast:

“I recently had the opportunity to interview with Jaclyn Paxton on ANBRWY. I was never the first to raise my hand in any setting and I wouldn’t have done so with ANBRWY except for Jaclyn and what we share as Marines.

 

        We were to discuss my career and any number of exigencies that impacted, thwarted or drove me. None of which I have given very much thought to. She presented me with questions under the headings of: “Success in Career,” “Attitude around Career and Culture,” “Military and Non-Profit Work.” Each heading came with a series of questions.

 

        I was comfortable immediately as we began. It was clear how much had gone into the format and that her path-of-questions was to create an understanding of how one’s journey has evolved  -- thought out or not. Jaclyn takes the information and constructs a story as the conversation continues – deftly highlighting insights and sign posts. She truly wants to understand the interviewee’s motivation and does so in a way of shared discovery. The ANBRWY experience was settling, somehow confidence building and something I’ve continued to think about – I still have the question sheet. 

 

        I would recommend listening, and I hope to, subsequent interviews. For me the interview was part therapeutic, and part opening doors that, for the most part, stay shut, accompanied by someone who wants to learn along with you.

 

        I’m grateful for the experience.”
