Charles Cormier explains why he started Spade a Spade: to record candid conversations on camera as a digital diary and build real relationships. He treats the podcast as a networking tool, capturing authentic moments that might otherwise disappear.

What was the thesis behind your podcast? And do you feel you've achieved your goals with that? Yeah. So, I mean, the thesis behind the podcast for me is that I like talking to interesting people when there's not a camera on. So my thinking was, why not just put on, turn on a camera and record these conversations? A lot of it was like a digital diary for me because, like I said, I like to have these conversations. Anyways, I think the second piece of it, too, is that called Spade a Spade. A podcast is a networking ploy. People like to talk about themselves. If you give them a platform to do it, they'll do it. And so I think it's a really good platform to get closer to people that you want to build relationships with.
