  • Some questions are redundant on purpose. Choose the wording you like best.

  • The order of questions in interviews vary and builds mindfully. Tell me which questions are your top priorities for me to ask in each section.

  • Thinking about the ages of your kids today, what stands out most to you when you were that age?
