It’s evolved quite a bit over the past few months.
I started doing 45-min interviews and editing the transcript but that was too much work to edit those.
Then I restricted the interviews to 3 questions and still edited the transcript. Still a bit of work. Especially because I had to read most of the content of the interviewee to find interesting questions.
Nowadays, I still read the content of the interviewee but I put the questions in a Google doc and ask the interviewee to write down their questions.
Hope that helps! Send me a DM if you want to chat more about it :)
Kenny, I’m interested in this too and don’t quite understand your answer. Are you saying you put questions in a Google doc and your interviewees write their responses there? Or something else? Thanks!
I used it mainly to save time with scheduling calls but I agree it’s a nice benefit. I find mostly people that are used to being interviewed have very well crafted stories they can share on the spot.
Thanks Kenny!
It was a pleasure to have this conversation and answer your interesting questions.
I appreciate you for taking the time to answer them 🙏
Kenny, how do you do your interviews? Are they originally video calls that you then transcribe? Or live chat text? Or async (such as email)?
I was thinking of maybe doing more interviews, but I prefer how yours sound. Thanks.

Haha, sleep deprivation got the better of me! I meant the interviewee write down their answers in the Google doc.
Haha, can relate :)
I’m also using Google docs for my interviews fwiw. I like that the interviewee can be thoughtful with their answers and respond async.
