Andrew, just a thought, you could incorporate a 'Mixergy-world-tour' into your show? Travel the world, and while your at it interview entrepreneurs in there locations around the globe? I know I would tune in.

Also just read your blog post about the Mixergy show being a 'mission' - just thought I'd add my 2cents and say how much I've learned from your show. The points you make about "...business "gurus" who've never really been in business." & "... give you teachers who are real business people" are exactly why I tune in. If you mission was a religion I'd be a full-fledged member :)

Nice re-design, other site didn't seem as 'structured'

Re: Upcoming Live Interview: Digg.com Co-Founder, Owen Byrne

Very interesting interview, I had no idea who Owen Byrne was until I watched this.

Two key takeaways for me:

- Bootstrap as much as you can, hold off on the VC's.

- Find a flaw in your competition and capitalize on it.

Thanks again for the interviews Andrew!

Andrew, thanks for the practical advice.

It's funny how often I'm reminded that people need to make the mistake in order to learn from it.

I'm sure you read something similar to your article before you bought all the furniture? Either way, your comment "...to pay for a big office, that lets people know how important you are" just show's how our ego can affect our judgment.

Persevering, insistent, whatever you want to call it, Ramit really stuck to it and is inspiring.

Thanks again for a great interview Andrew!

Re: “Startups Get Off The Ground Between 10 PM And 2 AM” – with Josh Hartwell

I came across another way of making contacts with key people on an npost blog post.

"You never know who you are going to meet when flying first-class. From the contacts alone it is well worth the cost."

Might work for certain types of people, but I don't think it's the people I would be targeting.

Interesting idea though.
