The Rule That Got Me 23 Interviews in 2 Days | 142

Send us Fan MailMost people ask before they get a yes. The best ask after.This weekend I recorded 23 podcast interviews in two days at Book Thinkers Live 2026, including Evan Carmichael, Kristen Butler, Marcus Kaulius, and Amberly Lago. I landed the live podcast at 19 because I broke a rule most people never think to break: I asked for more after the person had already said yes.Nick, the CEO of BookThinkers, invited me to the event for free. Instead of saying thank you and showing up, I asked if I could interview every speaker there. He said yes. Then the real work started. The Amazon disaster the night before. The smashed light at 11pm. The moment mid-weekend when I almost quit. What Marcus told me to do in the auditorium that saved the day. And the moment Evan Carmichael pulled out his phone and filmed a pitch to Ed Mylet on my behalf.If you've ever wondered why the ask you didn't make is costing you more than the one you did, this one's for you.⏰ TIMESTAMPS0:00 — 23 Interviews In 2 Days1:12 — The Rule Nobody Teaches You1:34 — How I Met Nick A Year And A Half Ago3:15 — The Email That Changed Everything4:15 — The Idea That Came Under Pressure4:32 — Asking For More After The Yes5:33 — Day One: Nine Interviews Blind6:16 — The Moment I Almost Quit7:20 — What Marcus Told Me To Do8:10 — The Night Before Nearly Broke Me10:08 — What Steve Jobs And Kobe Understood11:01 — The Guest I Listened To In France Before I Had A Show11:45 — When Evan Carmichael Pulled Out His Phone For Ed Mylet12:33 — Why The Top Of The Pyramid Is Full Of Givers15:04 — The One Thing To Take From ThisSupport the showInnerVue — a complete self-awareness tool→ yourinnervue.comUse code GRATEFUL20 to receive 20% off a Tier 1 InnerVue, along with a complimentary coach-led debrief of your report☕ Magic Mind — My daily performance shot:→ https://magicmind.com/wagoner20Use code WAGONER20 for 20% off a package or 48% off a subscription.🧠 More from Jack:► Website: https://jackwagoner.co► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jack_wagoner_/► 1:1 Coaching: [email protected]📺 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Jack_Wagoner⸻🎙️ About Jack:I moved to France alone at 16, started my first business at 17, and launched this podcast because I kept meeting people who had the answers to questions I didn't even know I was asking.  My philosophy: you can set massive goals while being deeply fulfilled right now.
