David Lancefield: Reflecting on 100 episodes of Lancefield on the Line

So here we are, 100 episodes of Lancefield on the Line. To celebrate I am taking the opportunity to reflect on my journey as a podcast host, sharing insights gained from interviewing a diverse range of brilliant guests. I discuss what I have learned it takes to be a good podcast guest and host, as well as key areas we have covered in strategy, leadership and self-development. For the first time I also have questions fired back at me by some of my esteemed guests over the 100 episodes, where I offer further reflections on strategy, leadership and personal growth. Thank you to everyone involved in the last 100 episodes, the guests, the audience, my friends, and collaborators. “The art of conversation is alive and kicking.” – David You'll hear about: 00:00 – Celebrating 100 episodes of Lancefield on the Line 02:24 - The Lancefield on the Line stats 05:03 - What it takes to be a great podcast guest 10:42 - What it takes to be a great podcast host 19:52 - 4 big themes from 100 episodes 28:09 - Amy Gallo: Difficult conversations leaders are avoiding 30:20 - Josie Thomson: Leadership blind spots 33:54 - Tony Martignetti: Surprises in the evolution of the podcast 36:02 - Dina Denham Smith: What being a father of disabled child has taught me 39:37 - Dan Pontefract: The most challenging podcast interview 41:34 - Steven Rogelberg: The guest I'd most like to interview 44:55 - Scott D.
