We all try to impress each other, all day long. Not Wil S. Hylton though. He's a successful longform journalist who didn't even graduate from high school:
I guarantee that I am the least educated person in this room, and I'm totally good with that. And that's the way it should always feel as a reporter. If you are doing the job right, you should constantly be surrounded by people who know much more about the subject than you ever will. There is no point in interviewing people who know less than you.
