Andrew Warner

Author of Stop Asking Questions, a craft-of-interviewing book Kyle read in 2024 (a light-engagement read, rated 2 stars). The book is written from Warner’s first-person experience as an interviewer: its central moves — rephrasing questions as directives (“Tell me how you got your first customer” instead of “How did you…”), opening with “what’s a win for you?”, and taking charge of a conversation rather than passively quizzing a guest — are framed as lessons Warner learned across many recorded interviews.

Context: Andrew Warner is the founder of Mixergy, a long-running startup-interview podcast and education platform. Stop Asking Questions (2021) distills his interviewing technique.

Where this appears
