Comment from Joe Navarro:

I have done over 40 interviews in the last 3 years and by far Brad's was my favorite. He is such a good interviewer, he is so erudite and enthusiastic, it was a joy and the hour went by much too fast for me for I was enjoying the experience warmly. Brad is a truly gifted interviewer. Call me back any time, it was, in all seriousness, a pleasure.
