50 high-impact conversation techniques to help you build relationships with your heroes and learn their secrets to success.

Andrew Warner has interviewed over 2,000 of the world’s best entrepreneurs to uncover the real factors behind their success. But he’s also learned something even more valuable: How to learn anything from anyone through high-impact interviewing.

Great interviewing is more than just asking questions. To do it right, you need to be part therapist, part researcher, and part storyteller.

After a decade of honing his craft, Warner shares how to lead deeper, more meaningful conversations with people you admire. He also reveals his strategy for building a multi-million dollar podcast business: How to book exciting guests, prepare for interviews, scale your revenue, and much more.

Every ambitious person should add interviewing to their learning stack. Whether you’re a podcaster, entrepreneur, journalist, or just a lifelong-learner, “Stop Asking Questions” will show you the way.

-----------
"An essential read for podcasters, salespeople, startup founders, and anyone who wants to lead deeper conversations with people they admire. Andrew Warner's book not only teaches you how to interview, it teaches you how to learn."

Nir Eyal, bestselling author of Hooked and Indistractable

--

"Andrew generously reveals how he mastered the craft of interviewing, giving readers a tactical roadmap to create winning conversations with people they admire."

Espree Devora, host of "Women in Tech," Voted a Top 10 Podcast by Harper's Bazaar

--

"This is a book about respect. Respecting others enough to interview them well. Respecting your audience enough to do the work. And respecting yourself enough to be clear about what you're doing and why."

Seth Godin, founder of Akimbo (Home of the AltMBA) and Author of 20 bestselling books

Kiddie Pool vs. Deep End
Warner accidentally wrote one of the best books on the 'Art of Communication' disguised as a 'Guide for Podcasters!' If you are a new or seasoned podcaster this is a great book, I'm sure....I'm not a podcaster....but if you are a breathing human being longing for more depth in your relationships (personal or business) this book is a treasure trove of taking conversation from the kiddie pool to the deep end! Already I am using this in my patient interviews as well as at parties! If the book were an equation it would be Larry King + Dale Carnegie = Andrew Warner! Bravo!

I snagged this book for me and a friend who is also a podcast host. I'm 3.5 years into hosting my Be IN Demand podcast show about public speaking for coaches, consultants and service providers.

This book is helping me standout as a stellar guest and really capture great interviews and not the same ole questions my guests is answering on every show their on.

5.0 out of 5 stars A chance to learn how to have better interviews and conversations from one of the best interviewers.
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2021

Andrew has a ton of interview experience. A TON!

And not only did he interview a lot of entrepreneurs and high achievers - but he also constantly analyzed his own interviews to improve and to hone in on his craft. And that he has.

He can get to the core of an issue, get people to open up about personal hardship, and get his interviewees to disclose their best tips and lessons learned.

Being able to learn this skill from him is an honor.

And about the title of the book - it sounds misleading at first, but it will make so much sense once you start reading the book (no spoilers).

I recommend this book for anyone who wants to have deeper, more meaningful, and more fruitful conversations - be it in private or for a large audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive book about how to interview by a master interviewer
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2022

Andrew has compiled a wonderful book for anyone who is looking to uplevel their interview game. He's organized it in such a fashion to be able to get your techniques down up front and then as you continue through the book you're able to further refine the process. It's told in a very authentic manner just the way he speaks. I can hear his voice as I read the book, since I've been listening to his podcasts for a couple of years. It's already helped me improve the interviews I'm doing. The only thing missing is an audio version of the book, so I can really immerse myself further into it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just another high-horse author
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2021

Many authors in this space come across as trying to teach you how to be as good as they are, with little insight as to how they actually got there. What I love about Andrew's approach is that he's transparent and honest about his process. He's very good at what he does because he's intelligent and charismatic, but also because he works hard, learns lessons, and constantly looks for ways to improve.

After all the interviews he's conducted he could have written a vague fluff piece on how to be successful, with little practical advice. But his book has real world, road tested strategies and techniques for conducting great interviews and is an amazing resource both for seasoned podcasters and those just starting out.

Sound advice for interviewing but also for developing a plan to talk to people you haven't met yet but are planning to. Let them talk while you gain the information you seek.

I heard Andrew's interview with James Altucher and got curious about the book. I read through it in less than 2 days, and kept nodding my head about his suggestions and tips. Before I intuitively thought that this is the way to do it. Andrew structered it, organized it, and put it down on paper. The book is useful, not only for podcasters, but anyone who likes to communicate more effectively and to promote these conversations.

 Unable to read the book. Starts at page 77...several pages out of order. Looks like a low quality self-publish. Hate to give this a poor review without reading it - however i just spent $$ on a book that doesn’t even have the pages in order!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr lerreich
Reviewed in Germany on November 23, 2022

Viele Autoren in diesem Bereich wirken so, als wollten sie Ihnen beibringen, wie Sie so gut werden können wie sie selbst, ohne zu wissen, wie sie das erreicht haben. Was mir an Andrews Ansatz gefällt, ist, dass er transparent und ehrlich ist, was seinen Prozess angeht. Er ist sehr gut in dem, was er tut, weil er intelligent und charismatisch ist, aber auch, weil er hart arbeitet, Lektionen lernt und ständig nach Möglichkeiten zur Verbesserung sucht.

Nach all den Interviews, die er geführt hat, hätte er auch eine vage, fluffige Abhandlung darüber schreiben können, wie man erfolgreich wird, mit wenig praktischen Ratschlägen. Aber sein Buch enthält praxiserprobte Strategien und Techniken für die Durchführung großartiger Interviews und ist ein hervorragendes Hilfsmittel sowohl für erfahrene Podcaster als auch für diejenigen, die gerade erst anfangen.

I have been listening to Andrew's podcast for more than 5 years now and really love his interview style. I have learned so much from his interviews, and I am keen to understand if I can understand his interview style. Looking forward to reading this in the coming days.

This book is excellent for everyone working with people, regardless if it's interviewing them or not. The first part provides a simple list of strategies and how to use them. The second part dives deeper into the explanation of how and why from the podcast/interviewee perspective.
