I did the first “10 Minute Interview” in January of 2019. Since then, there have been 25 of them and I’m including a list of them below. I want to thank each of the people who took the time and effort to make those happen. I enjoy doing them and I like to try to ask a few questions that fall outside the normal industry based interviews. Additionally, it enables me to not have to come up with content every few weeks as used to be the case in the early days of this site. I may try to do a little bit more personal posting in 2021 than I have lately, as long as the ideas and topics come to me naturally and are not “work”. One last thing…I’d like to tip my hat to Brian Musker and Eric Dudas of Fully Threaded Radio who do such a magnificent job interviewing industry members on their podcasts. Sometimes our guest lists overlap and I really enjoy hearing the voices of the people they interview. And they have been supportive of my media, which I appreciate, and as you can see below Brian is one of the people I have interviewed. There is room for different vehicles on this long, dusty road and I enjoy sharing the lanes with these two gentlemen. Their podcast website is www.fullythreaded.com and www.fastenersclearinghouse.com is their sourcing network site.

I have several new interviews in the works and you will see a few of them as we turn the page and enter 2021. I look forward to posting those but more so I look forward to seeing you all in person at industry events. And, please let me know if there is anyone out there you think would make a good interview candidate. I have a bunch of ideas but would welcome other people’s ideas.

And a special thanks to Mike McNulty of Fastener Technology International who posts many of these interviews on his website and in his magazine. You can find their content at http://www.fastenertech.com. Printing these interviews was all Mike’s idea and I thank him for being creative and reaching out with the idea.
