How people can complain about sites like Mixergy always amazes me. But then again, there are always people who prefer to sit and bitch, rather than learn and take action.

Mixergy is a goldmine for those looking to learn and take action. And Andrew himself is a gem. I truly believe that in all of his interviews, even the ones where he really pushes the interviewee, his motives are entirely honorable – to help us, the viewers.

He genuinely wants to get past the ego filled boasting and the BS that many companies feed to the regular press and cut through to the real truth about starting and running companies.

You will become a smarter entrepreneur by regularly watching Mixergy.

I’ve been a consumer of mixergy for a while and have always been impressed at the access we have first to Andrew (he’s responded to every question I’ve asked him, either answering it himself or pointing me to the answer) and how we get what is essentially wide open access to the guests as he always invites the audience to feed some questions and does a great job working the good ones in. A pretty awesome resource. Good write up, props for sure.

Great writeup, I just discovered (2 weeks) Mixergy and as I’m writing this I’m listening to the interview with Jeffery Kalmikoff from Threadless. Andrew’s interview style reminds me of a couple of buds sitting around having a conversation. I love the format and have been taking notes and forming strategies for myself and clients. Let your haters be your motivator, keep the interviews coming.

Thanks Peter for adding my comment in the list: “I’m counting on Andrew’s insightful interview techniques so that he can “conjure” up from interviewees all the knowledge that they’ve build along their entrepreneurial experience so that we can learn from their successes and even failures.”

I truly believe Andrew is indirectly guiding me to the right path of entrepreneurship. His show is like having 10 experienced business coaches in one. I wish him success and prosperity.

When I slowed Rahul down so I could ask him for more details, I wondered if someone listening would thing, “Andrew, get on with it. You need to keep the interview moving. Be more like James Cramer and less like NPR already.”

Glad you understood what I was doing.

It feels so gratifying to know someone like you is listening.
