  • Responses need work

    Listened to the Elise cranny convo. On audio it felt more like a White House press session than a sit down interview bc the interviewer just says “yeah ok” in a condescending / aloof tone & then moves onto the next question. It felt very disjointed like listening to a listicle rather than a conversation w flow.
