Well, it is not totally wrong to say this interview was not
what I thought it was going to be about! There was an interesting “first” with
this interview: it is the only one that I had a do-over. In fact, the end
product was actually the third attempt. Of all the interviews, this is the one
that gets a do-over!
This interview actually has a story behind it (as all my
interviews do) I met Fran in the summer of 2013 and we spoke by phone. We were
introduced by a mutual friend Yvonne Jones, and for two people who had never
met before we spoke for well over 40 minutes. After hanging up I decided I
would have her on the show at some point. As 2013 drew to a close, I wanted to
have a show that was outside the usual…ermm…. lines and she came to mind.
As
far as I knew, she isn’t Caribbean American (well she is now, I am claiming her!) and I would have her come on to
talk about Thrive Any Way. I figured we would have fun introducing her to the
target demographic and that should be enough of a twist (seriously I am not
doing this on purpose).
So the conversation mid December went like:
Me: Hi Fran
Fran: Hi Mushtaq
(Usual pleasantries ensue, blah blah blah)
Me: How about being a guest on the show?
Fran: Great. Interestingly I have a new project we could
talk about.
Me: Awesome. Tell me about it.
Fran: It is called The Red Panty Club and….
Me: Sold!
Fran: What you didn’t hear all about the…..
Me: Yeah Yeah Yeah! I’m in!
