SO I REALIZED IN ANSWERING MY OWN INTERVIEWS RECENTLY THAT SOME QUESTIONS DURING THESE WERE FAR FROM PERSONAL. WHICH IS TOTALLY FINE; INTERVIEWS ARE FOR US TO TALK ABOUT OUR WORK! STILL, SOMETIMES AS READERS, WE ARE LEFT WANTING TO GET TO KNOW THAT PERSON BEYOND THEIR CAREER— AND I THINK IT'S A SHAME THAT SOME OF THESE SUPER IMPRESSIVE PERSONALITIES AROUND US ARE NOT ALSO RECOGNIZED FOR HOW SPUNKY, GOOFY, AND FUNNY THEY ARE. WHICH IS WHY I WANTED TO ADD EXTRA SPICE TO THE QUESTIONS THAT I ASK— AND TO SHOW THAT THE INCREDIBLE HUSTLERS YOU SEE HERE AND READ ABOUT ARE 1000% HUMAN, EVEN IF THESE SUPERWOMEN SEEM BEYOND IT SOMETIMES!

MEET HANNAH BERNER

Hannah and I also hosted a panel, "The Hustle" together this past May where she was the most engaging and entertaining moderator I've ever worked with.

Tune in to Hannah's podcast series, Berning in Hell, where she interviews her guests about their insecurities, anxieties and fears.: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/berning-in-hell/id1442257788
