Best question you've asked/been asked in an interview?

Going through the process of interviewing for a new position and the advice I consistently receive is to ask great questions - are there any that you have asked/been asked that really stood out?

Explain something to me.

I love this because I also give a lesson, and no one sees what's coming 🦊

If you could have anyone, past or present, with you at a dinner party, who would you want and who would you sit by?

“How do you quantify pain/need?”

I think this is a very interesting open-ended question.

I interviewed a ton in my last few roles. I swear by this question I got from Trish Bertuzzi:

What's a piece of feedback you've gotten in the past year that was tough to take?

It's like a new take on "biggest weakness" and catches candidates off guard. The ones who answer authentically and talk about how they internalized/grew demonstrate coachability and self-awareness, and - especially in sales - you can obviously see who's a bullshitter/non-self-aware buttmunch.

Some of these questions are awesome and I will definitely be stealing some of them.

I haven't been asked too many questions that were great and stuck with me, but if I get asked to "sell me this pen", I'm done with the interview.

Explain something to me. It could be anything in the universe, known or unknown. Just explain something to me of your choosing.
