What Am I Making Podcast #003 with Maura Quint

The first time that I interviewed Maura Quint, we got interrupted. Like a lot. That was a damn shame, because we were hitting on some really good stuff. But after eight or ten internet drops, and a series of awkward and stilted attempts to restart the conversation, I called it off and begged for another opportunity. In that first chat, Maura and I got going on the concept of adulthood as a destination. That idea stuck hard in my brain between our conversations, and I decided to pick right back up in that same place when we got together again. Maura was game and we were off to the races.What follows is a fascinating chat about parenthood, the curses and blessings of being a gifted child, getting better at asking for help, and all or nothing mindsets. It goes all over the place, and wasn’t at all the stuff I envisioned we would discuss. Like most of the best things in life, the surprise of it is a large part of what makes it so great. I sure hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed talking to Maura. Both times. Hope you dig it. Thanks as always for being here, and for your support.Cheers,Matty CMaura Quint is a writer, humorist and tax policy advocate. As reader of her work and listening to her think, I would suggest that Maura’s best two qualities are her humor and her curiosity. Both of these traits seem to flow effortlessly from her almost constantly. Once you’ve heard this conversation I am sure you’ll agree that she is hilarious and interesting, but you’ll also see it’s anything but effortless.
