How to Carry a Conversation<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Carrying a conversation is difficult to do.<\/p>\n

But if you can do it, then you have a skill set that can be applied to multiple parts of life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is a podcast really?<\/p>\n

It’s just an audio file of a person or multiple people talking.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every now and then, there is a host who invites a guest to his show.<\/p>\n

The host then proceeds to carry the conversation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If the host is lucky, then he has an engaged guest who is talkative.<\/p>\n

Talkative people make the host’s job easy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But every now and then, we have the zombie.<\/p>\n

This is a guest who is forced to show up to the show because his manager made him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rather than put in any effort to participate in the conversation, he makes the host do all the work.<\/p>\n

The host asks questions.<\/p>\n

The rude guest gives 1-word responses.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This makes the host’s job much harder.<\/p>\n

Let’s break down what it means to carry the conversation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Carrying the conversation is when one person is choosing the direction of the talk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is hard to spot by the way.<\/p>\n

Because the direction is invisible.<\/p>\n

The content, we can hear.<\/p>\n

But the direction is something that requires fine eyes.<\/p>\n

Better yet, fine ears.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There’s this podcast called Impaulsive that started off with a bang a few years ago.<\/p>\n

For the longest time, Logan Paul was the villain of YouTube.<\/p>\n

However, even his haters gave him props for the Impaulsive Podcast.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Logan and his team would discuss topics from culture.<\/p>\n

The camaraderie, great production, and humor made the show compelling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Later, Logan’s star power grew.<\/p>\n

He had other responsibilities and became disengaged with the Impaulsive podcast.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, he and his cohost slap a few episodes together.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to tell that Logan just shows up.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How is the podcast still running?<\/p>\n

Because of his co-host, Mike.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you look closely, Mike is carrying the conversation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s not like Logan sits there like a dummy, but Mike is the one who:<\/p>\n
