But of course!  I would not have expected any less from the wonderful readers of Adversity University!  They&#039;re a very special group of people who geninuely care and have an interest in learning about others.</description>

		<description>Patricia:

I know how it is when you have a lot to do and then you come back and play &quot;catch up&quot; with your favorite bloggers.  I do that too.  Sometimes every single blog I have in my feed is bold, which you know means all of them have new information, waiting for me to read.

I&#039;m very glad that the energy that came from this interview felt great for you.  Me too.  I was in the &quot;zone&quot; if you know what I mean.  When I responded to Phil (in red), the words were just flowing, as if we were doing a live interview. 

Thanks for telling me the interviews are getting better and better.  There&#039;s always room for improvement, right?  Of course!  I think you&#039;ll like next week&#039;s part II with Phil - it goes a little deeper, as it was designed to do.</description>

		<description>I am playing catch-up myself with reading my favorite bloggers articles from this week.  The energy that comes from Phil and Stephen in this interview feels great.  Stephen, the interviews are getting better each week.  I am meeting some bloggers that I didn&#039;t know about through reading your interviews.  Thanks.

Regardless of when you to come, whether it&#039;s early or late, doesn&#039;t matter.  What matters is you felt inspired to share a few words with us today.  

Thank you for echoing my thoughts about how much of a difference Phil makes on other people&#039;s lives.  His MIG slogan is never far from my thoughts too.</description>

		<description>Ohhh forgive me for jumping in a few days after you
made this post....

I have been a fan of Phil&#039;s for some time now.
Quite often, we come across a blog or blogger and we
are changed for the better for having &quot;met&quot; them.

I can say that my whole family is better for me
having &quot;met&quot; Phil.  Although we have yet to meet 
in person, he&#039;s left a lasting imprint on myself and
my family. 

The words &quot;Make It Great&quot; grace the top of a large white board in my kitchen.  

This past week, my 11 year old Kevin cut a heart out of a yellow post it note and left it at my computer.

http://tinyurl.com/2qvu2c

I scanned Kevin&#039;s picture, wrote a letter and sent it down to a young woman who is in her first week of 
Air Force basic training.  

I also have to say that I can attribute meeting
you Stephen to a guest post you made over at
Phil&#039;s site.  

THANK YOU for this interview, I&#039;m really looking forward to part 2.

xo xo

		<description>Steve!

Aren&#039;t you the blogger with the football shirt in your, what do they call it, avatar?  I&#039;ve seen you numerous times and it&#039;s an honor to have you stop by here.  

Thanks!  If I recall correctly, you also have blonde hair?  I think the football jersey was mostly red with white lettering?  Would that be you?  I think so!  Well, welcome!  :)

Anyway, it&#039;s my absolute pleasure to pimp Phil.  I mean, gosh, the guy exudes love and courage.  How can anyone not want to give back to him?  I think next week&#039;s interview will be even more interesting because I go a little deeper.  And I&#039;m hoping to meet him in the flesh at SOBCon08.  Are you going?

Thanks again Steve - it&#039;s a pleasure to hear from you. And I&#039;m glad you enjoyed this interview.</description>

		<description>Thanks for pimping Phil. He&#039;s great guy with a great blog. I like the advice of going all out all the time. It&#039;s hard to do but I have to ask, how else would you want to live? By going half out half the time? I&#039;ve gone half speed, and you know what? It isn&#039;t any fun. All out is fun. Thanks!</description>

		<description>Cindy:

I thought Phil&#039;s comment about playing life full out was pretty good myself.  And why shouldn&#039;t we, right?  Our life is not a dress rehearsal but sometimes we think it is and we stumble along the way, not letting it &quot;play out&quot; like he says.  It&#039;s a great reminder.

Cindy, I appreciate your reference to the kind of questions I&#039;m asking in these interviews.  They were designed to go in a little deeper and stand apart from the normal spate of interviews out there.  I figured, what&#039;s the point of doing one if we can&#039;t at least get to know the person and make some kind of spiritual connection?

The next part actually goes in a little deeper and some of the questions I ask are a little scary, personal even.  This is where the interview gets a little more edgy, if you catch my meaning.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to share your thoughts.</description>

		<description>Wow, this sounds great! I especially like the part where Phil says &quot;Play full out. All the time. Leave it all out on the table, and go home tired.&quot; I&#039;m writing that down...

I loved how you conducted this interview. There weren&#039;t any boring, bland questions. Instead, they were unique and insightful. Nice... wait, I mean great job!</description>
