I want to share with you something I value: the power of long-form transcripts. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of being in the company of fascinating people. I found myself ignited by great ideas shared by these people, but their precious insights and the inspiration I received often faded over time. It felt like I was losing precious moments in history.
It also felt like the effort to get the knowledge was wasted. This led me to appreciate the value of long-form content. Unlike fleeting memories, a long-form transcript captures the essence of somebody’s message. It allows me to return, to digest, and to internalize their wisdom at my own pace. It’s like having a conversation that never ages, always ready to offer something new upon each revisit.
I remember one of my earlier interviews where I transcribed our recorded conversation and passed it back to the interviewee. He said, “I thought that you were going to write something with snippets?” And I thought, that would be putting it through my filter. I would rather my audience experience it in their unique way.
I believe there’s a unique magic in reading long-form transcripts that allows for deeper understanding and connection with ideas. This is why I cherish long-form interviews on WunderSpot. They’re not just stories or interviews; they’re bridges to knowledge and inspiration, meticulously laid out for those of us who still revel in the art of reading. It’s my hope that these pieces illuminate paths for curious minds in search of depth and insight.
Let’s continue to champion the written word and the profound journeys it can take us on.
Warmly,
Simone Dominique
