No es lo mismo hacer preguntas morbosas con el fin de saciar el morbo de una audiencia que contar historias a través de la sensibilidad y el arte de la entrevista.
En la era de los podcast y el streaming, hay tanto que aprenderle a Cristina Pacheco.

During the filming of "Forrest Gump," director Bob Zemeckis realized he had a problem:
The kid cast to play the young Forrest had a thick accent—sounding nothing like the way Tom Hanks was portraying the adult Forrest.
Hanks' simple solution would define the iconic character:
"Bob said, 'We got a problem here, you have to teach this kid how to talk the way you talk,'" Hanks says. "And I thought, 'Why don't I just talk the way he talks?'"
The kid was from Mississippi and had a thick Southern accent.
The iconic Forrest Gump accent and mannerisms were simply a result of Tom Hanks imitating the kid.
Takeaway 1:
The iconic characterization of Forrest Gump was a solution to a problem.
Creativity is often forced out of necessity like this.
The iconic POV scenes in Jaws, for instance, were also a solution to a problem: the mechanical shark broke. So director Steven Spielberg had no choice but to film the movie without his main character.
Takeaway 2:
One of the hottest actors in Hollywood, Hanks could have demanded they find another kid or that the kid figure out how to sound like Hanks.
Instead, Hanks adapted and adopted the kid’s speech and mannerisms.
Jerry Seinfeld talks about how great artists are like slalom skiers.
“I always say, ‘If I’m the skier Lindsey Vonn, I don’t care where you put the gates on the mountain. Put ‘em anywhere you want. I’m going to make the gates.’”
Seinfeld continues, "That’s how you have to think: ‘I don’t care what happens, I’m going to adjust to it.’”

In the back of a comedy club, a struggling comedian got a chance to talk to Jerry Seinfeld.
He said he’d been struggling and sacrificing for about 10 years to “make it” as a comedian. Approaching his 30s, he was worried he’d taken the wrong path.
Seinfeld gave him this advice:
“This [pointing at the stage] is such a special thing,” Seinfeld says. “This has nothing to do with ‘making it.’”
“But did you ever stop and compare your life?” the struggling comedian says. “I see my friends, and they’re making a lot of money. They’re moving up. They’re all married. They’re all having kids. They have houses. They have a sense of normality.”
Seinfeld makes a disgusted face and then says, “let me tell you a story. This is my favorite story about show business.”
“Glenn Miller's orchestra is doing a gig...They can't land the plane because it's winter, a snowy night—they have to land in this field and walk to the gig.
They're dressed in their suits. They’re carrying their instruments. They’re walking through the snow—it's wet and slushy.
And in the distance they see this little house…They go up to the house and look in the window.
Inside they see this family.
There's a guy and his wife—she’s beautiful. There's two kids, and they're all sitting around the table. They’re smiling. They're laughing. There's a fire in the fireplace...
These guys are standing there in their suits. They're wet and shivering, holding their instruments, and they're watching this incredible Norman Rockwell scene.
And one guy turns to another guy and goes, 'How do people live like that?'
That's what it's about.”
Takeaway 1:
Comparison, it is said, is the thief of joy.
James Altucher has written about a cure for comparison.
Usually, when we compare ourselves to someone, we compare ourselves to a select few aspects of their life (their house, their good looks, or their professional success, etc.).
Instead, James writes, “picture that you can change places in every way with them. But then it’s forever...Would you do it.”
Usually—as Seinfeld’s story illustrates—the answer is…no, you wouldn’t want their whole life.
Takeaway 2:
One of the differences between Seinfeld and the struggling comedian is the way in which they view comedy.
The struggling comedian sees comedy as a means to some end—there’s some amount of money or celebrity that would make him feel like he “made it.”
For Seinfeld, comedy is an end in itself. “[It] has nothing to do with ‘making it,’” as he said.
For Seinfeld, as Ryan Holiday once told me, “The work is the win.”

“The set I get to do tonight at 7:20 PM is the win. I get to do comedy—I won. It being predicated on doing X or being bigger than Y—no, no, no. To me, it’s always just been about the work. I’m on house money, full-time.” — Hasan Minhaj
