TV Interview

Yesterday, I had the interesting experience of being interviewed about STRATEGY AND THE FAT SMOKER on ABC News. There’s a 4-minute “live-to-tape” web-version of it here.

I was asked to cover the basics discussed in the book, so if you’ve been following my work, you won’t see new insights revealed. However, there’s some fun to be had looking (a) how the TV producer spliced in some footage to go with my comments, and (b) seeing me – after all these years – revealing some nervousness.

I do better in front of real human beings rather than staring, all alone, into a camera in a darkened room. I’ve been through the experience before, but I could still use a bit more practice. A pity that there are no chances to re-shoot on live television!
