@rrhoover Any big named guest is good for drawing an audience. So Richard Branson, Elon Musk, etc.
But frankly, the bigger guests are so practiced at giving their answers that they rarely give new insight.
My ideal are people like Eric Ries, before he was a household name in the business world. Or Emmett from Twitch before he sold his company. Both of them had proven track records (not empty theories). They knew how to teach their methods. And they were open to challenging questions.
Proud to have worked with you on designing this @andrewwarner. Congrats on a very great launch.
@espreedevora Thanks for being so encouraging and supportive over the years.
@espreedevora @yvoschaap the first few years I struggled a lot with publishing consistently without hurting quality. As entrepreneurs saw that being interviewed wasn't such a scary thing, it became easier.
@espreedevora agreed. Been watching Andrew's interviews since I first got started as an entrepreneur. Always learned something new.
Thanks @davidspinks. Next time I guest holds back in a pre-interview with me, I'll show or tell her about your comment so she'll understand why I sweat the details.
Agree with all the Mixergy love. @andrewwarner has been a constant in the startup/tech/entrepreneurial scene for years. I remember listening to his interviews and learning from them when I started my first business back in 2009. Lots of lessons I still pull from today.
@pallian duuuuuude. So good to see you here. When I met you, I was using a free WP theme. You helped me out. You redesigned the site. And suddenly interviewees were taking me more seriously. Speaking of design, I love the Trippeo experience.
@andrewwarner is the interview king. Best in the game. Inspired a whole new wave of podcasters, myself included.
@williamchanner Thanks! Congrats on your site's growth. I'm proud to have helped and to continue to help in any way I can.
@andrewwarner brings an uniquely insightful, well-researched, and friendly approach to interviewing entrepreneurs that shines through in each episode. I really enjoyed my interview with him and I recommend Mixergy to every entrepreneur!
@andrewwarner Such an amazing resource! Any way you could also index interviews by company? If name isn't in the title it's a bit tricky to find (e.g. searching for product hunt doesn't bring back any results).
@minouye check out http://mixergy.com/interviews
It should do what you want and I'm working on a v2.0 of that.
I like reading the transcripts for this podcast. I think I've read all of them over the years. Andrew really pushes to get a very deep understanding of the person he's interviewing.
@erictwillis I resisted transcripts for so long because they can be expensive and time consuming. Once I added them I realized that many people prefer text over audio or video. I'm glad the audience (and interviewees like @neilpatel) pushed me to add transcripts.
@conradd That's been my only promotion until this year. Interviewees and supporters spread the word. I hired @sachitgupta to book me on other interview sites so I could start reaching more people.
@webjoe Check out Ryan's. You'll see why this community is growing so fast.
And for starting a business, one of my all time favorites is Emmett from Twitch. He had such a clear process for talking to users and figuring out what to build. I studied him more than anyone else.

One of my favorite podcasts for entrepreneurs. I'm a big @andrewwarner fan - truly a great guy who cares about supporting and educating entrepreneurs.
@danputt you guys at reboot are phenomenal. You go deep. That's where the value is. That's when we understand the interviewee and through him/her we have insight into ourselves.
@sloane And an early guest. And you were a cohost when we did live events, before Mixergy was about interviews. Thanks for the support!
