Hassan Minhaj's Engaging Style

Shaan tells a story contrasting Hassan Minhaj's engaging conversation style with another wealthy individual's disengaged approach.

"We had a breakfast thing with a different billionaire type guy - nice guy, had a great time, but I kid you not, this guy literally asked one question in a 2.5 hour hangout. It wasn't difficult because I had tons of questions for him, but it was difficult to sit there and think 'Is this person just really doesn't give a fuck about being here?'

Hassan was the opposite. He asked so many questions - his cup is not full. He's there thinking 'Pour some water into me, give me something to think about, something to learn.' He's asking tons of questions and I think that's such an attractive trait in people. It was a good reminder of being in both positions - some places where the status game was shifted one way, and others where it was totally shifted the other way. It was a great reminder of what it feels like and how easy it is to just make somebody feel amazing."
