Once we’ve decided on who they’d like to be interviewed as, I email them to request to an interview. However, I’m not emailing them as I know them and as they know me. I address their future self as the Senior Editor of Interviewing Selves (IS) magazine. From that email onward and through the interview, we both remain fully in character. Their chosen future selves range from serious to fanciful. There are no limitations—only possibilities.

Vol.1 Interviewees

These are the people who were interviewed for the inaugural issue of Interviewing Selves magazine. Below I describe how I know them, who they are in the present day, and when the interview with their future self takes place.

Anne Bahr Thompson is a longtime friend and mentor I’ve known since living in New York City in the 2010’s. She is a consultant, award winning thought-leader, author and international speaker. She is interviewed on June 30th, 2028.
