The prospects of getting a free hour with a busy executive while he/she isin the office are pretty slim these days, so auto commuting, airports, taxicabs, and walking around in public with a cellphone may be the future means of getting that valuable content interview. The keyword today for the white paper writer is "flexibility"! Jonathan Nettie, I think you’re onto something there!

And I have one in that same vein, I interviewed the co-editor of Fast Company's new book - David Lidsky while he was in a taxi cab driving around looking for a new apartment! The interview will be up on my Must Read Business books blog this week - http://www.allbusiness.com/business-planning-structures/starting-a-business/2976079-1.html . I think we should come up with a name for these "traveling interviews". Maybe "Interviews on the Road." I also interviewed the musician Ian Moore while he was on a ferry boat heading out to the island he lived on right outside Seattle, Wash. at the time so I would say we're such adept interviewers that like mailmen nothing stops us from getting that interview!

The interview was conducted over three days during his commute to the office during rush hour traffic. This happened to be the only time he had available. It worked out so well, I'm going to recommend it to future busy executives. Truly exemplifies the term "captive audience".
