Summary

In this bonus episode Amy interviews dear friend, fellow podcaster, and talented author Kyle Thiermann all about his new book One Last Question Before You Go. Kyle shares everything from why we should all do this to strategies for interviewing and asking great questions that will not only change your connection to your parents, but also all of your relationships whether romantic, strictly platonic, or even in the professional world. This book will inspire you and change your life. Tune in to learn why. More about Kyle: An award-winning journalist, pro big wave surfer, and podcast host with over 400 episodes, Kyle Thiermann is curiosity in motion. His podcast guests include longevity expert Dr. Peter Attia, 3x Surfing World Champion Mick Fanning, and his own dad—where the idea for his first book began. Blending witty narrative with practical advice, One Last Question Before You Go explores the art of interviewing our parents. As Thiermann writes, “Questions are invitations to see our parents in the present tense, and a declaration that we care about the wisdom of elders in a culture obsessed with youth.” Kyle has written for Outside, SURFER, and Discovery Channel, covering indigenous conflicts in Chile and exposing how Hawaii’s wild pigs are killing coral. A cultural provocateur at heart, Kyle has spearheaded national advertising campaigns for cult brands including MUD\WTR, Yeti, and Patagonia, crafting billboards above LAX and viral commercials seen by over 100 million people.
