I enjoy talking with old pros. In this case defined as people who've worked in the industry for a long time.

Some of them have great stories; eye opening, jaw dropping anecdotes from their careers spent in and around the room where it happened.

My response is obvious: Come on the podcast and tell them.

Or, write them down. Publish them in a book, or a Substack.

Most don't want to do this.

They're worried about damaging their own or other people's reputations. Or they want a job and worry that they'll be seen as telling tales out of school.
