Dear Jack Welch
Dear Jack Welch
I am a great admirer of yours, and love reading the column you write with your wife Suzy, The Welchway. But I have a request: please stop podcasting it.
I just downloaded your latest podcast, and your voice, my God! You sound as if you were dying when that podcast was recorded. You moan and groan in the background when Suzy speaks, and wheeze and croak when your turn comes, as if to say, “They’ve taken my life support off, I have 10 seconds to give you this advice before, gasp, splutter...”
You have built a powerful brand for yourself over an illustrious career. If enough people listen to your podcasting, you’ll damage it. Please stick to what you’re good at.
Isn’t that advice you would give?
Regards
Amit Varma
