In the interview Mark and Becca talk about: How Becca deals with unexpected situations such as someone being late for a virtual meeting (Mark was 20 minutes late getting to this interview) and how this aligns with her strength of "Arranger"The Clifton Strengths personality metric and how Becca uses it to help writersMark's top 5 strengths and Becca's top 5 strengthsThe pros and cons that come with a strength such as EmpathyHow emotions can have residue - that emotions are not false just because they're fictionalBecca first taking the Clifton Strengths in 2005 and then immediately wanting to become certified and to figure this out; which is when her coaching beganThe "Dear Writer"/"Question The Premise" books that Becca has written to help writersHow Becca's first book "Dear Writer You Need to Quit" has become a running joke, especially from people who have never read the book and have only heard the titleThe challenge related to the new place Becca lives and trying to get audiobooks recordedPeople who are pressure-prompted and the leveraging external motivation VS internal motivationA look at home office versus having an office space separate from the home and how that can work better for some peopleHow our visions of ourselves are not correct because so much of it is based on impressions we were fed before we were able to effectively grasp a more pure vision of ourselvesBeing able to look at what's often seen as a weakness as a strengthHow even the more benign moments and experiences in childhood can have a dramatic life-long impact upon usThe way that Becca questions almost everything, including the thoughts and feelings that she hasBeing an intuitive writer verses writing a book to outlineHow 100% of the things that "everyone says" are for everyone, are definitely NOT for everyoneThat most people are not lying to you, but they are lying to themselves, often because they just don't understandHow a person who NEVER questions themself is a major red flagThe "reach for my phone" game that Becca plays when she's traveling or out in publicThe 12-Hour WalkBecca dating someone who was comfortably disconnected from their phone, rarely ever reaching for it, but just being in the momentThe problem with interrupting the thought cycle and being able to get all the way to the bottom of the cognitive processAnd more . . . After the interview Mark reflects on a handful of things that came up in their conversation, which he felt was a lot of good therapy for him.
