If you want to take the interview, feel free to copy and paste these questions into an email and send to: transparentsyblog@gmail.com. I’ll edit the answers for punctuation and spelling changes, as well as improve the general flow of the interview. After the editing is finished, I’ll post it! Please circle back and correct me if I missed the spirit of what you were trying to say–I can always change a jot or two. The interviews that I publish will be under assumed names, so be sure to tell me what name you’d like to use.
