Curious, why do you think all those great guests come to his podcasts? Wouldn't they politely decline if they thought he's not a very smart guy and a terrible host? I really think John Carmack, Mark Zuckerberg or Kevin Systrom don't need the publicity via his podcast, so what other reason would they heave?

It’s why someone may go on tv for a few minute spot, it’s good for getting your message out to a large audience despite the interviewer being in the way of that.
