Top Questions Asked By Listeners

There have been a lot of questions over the several years I ve been hosting this podcast. I figured now would be a good time to answer the most popular:

• I am having a problem with a vendor. Can you help me?

Believe it or not this is the most popular question I ve been asked. Unfortunately there isn t anything I can do in that particular situation. I am a consumer just like you. My advice is always to go directly to the vendor and give them a chance to make it right. Most of the time they do.

• I love/hate a particular product. Can you please mention it on the cast?

This is another gray area. In a world where YMMV (your mileage may vary) with certain products, it s difficult for me to endorse or not endorse products based on opinion. Even when I review my own purchases, I always make a point of saying the review is solely based on opinion.

I can however mention that a listener (anonymously if desired) contacted me with their thoughts

• I am a vendor/artisan and would love you to try my product. Can I send you some?

This is the second most asked question I get. Many vendors offer and in the past I have gave out my address and information for samples ect. Unfortunately about 80% of the time these vendors do not follow through so I am currently not accepting samples (hence why there haven t been any give-a-ways). In the past what I received I ve given away and it worked out great.

If you are a vendor you may contact me regarding your products, but will have to go through a series of questions and a wait period. All inquiries are subject to approval by yours truly.

In addition I do not endorse products without using them. If you are a new vendor I will be more than happy to mention your company.

• I would like to advertise, or be featured on Sharpologist. Can you help me?

While I have an excellent relationship with Mark, the podcast and Sharpologist are two separate entities that fill a need for each other.

If you re interested in working with Sharpologist, I will be more than happy to point you in the right direction.
