    You Seem Interesting Season 2 Episode 15: The CIA & Marc Polymeropoulos
    Sep 20 2021
    Marc Polymeropoulos served 26 years with the CIA in some of the most dangerous places on Earth. His daily challenges had much higher stakes than most of us could ever fathom. Through countless successes, which include thwarting would be attacks on Americans, intelligence victories, recruiting assets and so much more, and as he discusses on the show, his numerous failures, Marc developed his core principles of strong leadership. He wrote about those in his new book 'Clarity in Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the CIA'. Marc was terrific on our current status in Afghanistan (where he was stationed previously), knowing you'll never get credit for a job well done, why intelligence work is like baseball, and the challenges of recruiting someone to spy on behalf of the United States against their own government or organization.

    You Seem Interesting Season 2 Episode 14: Funny Characters & Shannon Fiedler
    Sep 14 2021
    Shannon Fiedler first went viral with an original character called 'Connecticut Girl'. Then she did it again with another original character. Then again with another. Pretty much everything she puts up gets tons of likes, comments, shares and positive attention. Shannon is a funny young standup comic in NYC who has gotten lots of notoriety in a short amount of time. She was kind enough to join the show and talk the pluses & minuses of social media fame, coming up with original characters, the importance of having a support system, and her mom demanding that she stay up late at night to chat with her friends online.

    You Seem Interesting Season 2 Episode 11: Life in the NFL & Nick Sundberg
    Aug 23 2021
    Only a small fraction of those that ever play football will play beyond high school. A small fraction of those fortunate few will ever play professionally. Rarer still are specialists, like our guest Nick Sundberg, who are in the league for over a decade with barely a blemish on their record. We discussed playing through severe injury, when he knew he might be able to be an NFL caliber long snapper, what he would do differently listening to his body, and the time he was called for 2 penalties on 1 play. Great conversation with a tremendous guy. This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy
