Am trying to parse your son's accent. So many resonances…

Loved it Horace. Great kid! You're a good dad.

Sorry, Horace, this was painful to listen to. I have similar aged children myself. They both think they are extremely smart. But they don't have insights we don't ourselves know already. They are children.

I believe young generations see the future in a way we can't. The lack of knowledge of the past is not a limitation, but an opportunity. Listening carefully reveals where the world will be going, what are their needs, what's cool, and gives any product-enthusiast or marketer broader perspectives. Thanks for this episode, as insightful as Horace's Porsche buying interview.

I valued the insight of a person that age. One year younger than my son, yet a different culture, perhaps. Finland versus rural USA.
Further, I thought that the discussion was thoughtful and articulate, remarkably so for a child. Was a good idea to bring him on the show.
Would be interesting to interview kids in other cultures. Not necessarily on-air.
