So, this week, I’m doing something a little different. Last week, I interviewed business author Ainslie Waldron while she was here in the States on a book tour. Normally, I’d post that interview separately as a Podcast Special: Unconventional Thinker or something along those lines.

But this time, I decided that since I had written an article for this week’s newsletter from the interview, I’d go ahead and post it as part of the regular podcast.

So, I’d like to hear from you on this one — because it’s a pretty big leap from the 10 minute podcast that you’re used to to a 30 minute podcast that might take longer than your average busy microbusiness owner can spare.

Did you like having this expert interview added in to the regular podcast?

Do you think I should never do this again?

I have an inquiring mind and I want to know.

This week is all about different perspectives on the still limping but soon to recover economy; the mood is captured pretty accurately in the title of this week’s Policy Matters column: Half Empty, Half Full.
