Today I became fans of Donny Deutsch and Jay Z.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bigideadonny.com/about.html">Donny hosts a show called the Big Idea</a> on CNBC. He asked Bill some excellent questions like &quot;what do you get pissed about?&quot; Bill tried to weasel out of that and Donny had none of it. Bill was really stumped. He also asked &quot;what would you say to Google?&quot; He set a high bar for interviewing Bill that I hope I&#039;ll get to meet someday.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jayzonline.com/">Jay Z is a rapper</a>. But he breaks all the stereotypes. He&#039;s astute. Personable. And is interesting to listen to.</p>
<p>Donny&#039;s interview with Bill Gates will be on CNBC on Monday and Jay Z&#039;s interview will be up next week.</p>
<p>Anyway, both interviews are ones you should consider checking out.</p>
