Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom podcast. I reached out to Kapil early yesterday morning, seeing if he would be available for an interview in the evening. He said yes, and it was really interesting. I'm really enjoying these last minute interviews and I think I'm going to slowly start to shift to only doing interviews last minute, and I'm really excited about that. This episode was hard because basically it's been maybe what, six months since I last interviewed Kapil. And regardless of the truth of what Kapil talks about, regardless of whether you agree with Kapil, you don't agree with Kapil. He is a very, very difficult person to interview because he does not fill the silences. And every other guest I've ever interviewed totally fills them or I fill them. And so this one was very difficult to do as the last two were, because Kapil doesn't fill those silences. And then I don't fill those silences either. And so I've decided to just keep all of those silences here. I haven't edited anything out. It's all there. You know, you can do with it what you will. You can skip through the silences. Also, I'm going to make it pretty much a way of doing this show that if you like to listen to your episodes at twice the speed, you're probably not going to like my podcast, so probably best to go somewhere else. Yeah. So this is a very interesting episode and I feel very uncomfortable about publishing it because I'm pretty authentic, open about my struggles and Kapil doesn't really hold back on prying into it. It feels like I'm doing a session with him, basically. It feels like I'm doing a session and then I'm publishing that session. So. So it's, you know, hopefully you enjoy this if you do. I think I'm gonna reach out to him for more interviews maybe over the next couple weeks, see if we can get to the bottom of this. Um, but yeah, if you do like this episode, please subscribe, find us on itunes, Spotify or Stitcher, and hit the subscribe button. I release episodes about two twice a week. Yeah, not all of them are like this one with Kapil, but this one, the ones I'm doing with Kapil, I'm learning so much more about how to really stay in my own house when I'm doing the interviews, essentially, so to speak, and not give in to the silences. So I'm really looking forward to bringing a lot more silences into the other episodes that I Do and not necessarily filling them all the time. And so I'm really excited about that. Yeah. So if you like this episode, go to itunes, go to Spotify, go to Stitcher. Subscribe. Hope you guys have a great day. So welcome to the Crazy Wisdom podcast. This is my third interview with Kapil Gupta. Really excited to do this one again, and welcome to the show.
