Every podcast technique — matching, mirroring, silence, labelling — comes back to one thing: Be genuinely curious about the person across from you. Not "I read your bio" curious. Properly curious. The kind where you forget you're recording. That's it. The rest is just reps.

Customers rate AI-powered support higher than human-only teams — but only when they don't know it's AI. Perception still trumps performance. Interesting findings from Gradient Labs. https://t.co/JiGguLvEu7
