Great quote from Jason: [paraphrased] "Startups are more like Rocky than The Social Network - it's nothing but work and in the end you don't win until the sequel."
As a solo entrepreneur / business owner, I feel like I
face an uncertain, massive void every day, through which
I must find my way, avoiding all sorts of pitfalls.
Sometimes, that void is the outer world, filled with
challenges of all sorts related to technology, business,
customers, and money. However, that void is usually
myself, where far more difficult riddles await: What do I
want to achieve? What should I focus on now in order to
be successful? How can I break out of unproductive habits
and cycles? What do I not know today that would save my
ass tomorrow?
I love the fact that Andrew shares how he thinks when interviewing guests and isn't judgmental. He understands that their are a bunch of different approaches to business and not just one correct method.
I haven't seen the interview yet, but I think I can still say that this is an extremely smart visibility coup for Jason Cohen (who was a new name for me).
I have to agree, this is an awesome interview. I feel that Jason Cohen really has that same hunger for knowledge that Andrew exudes in his other interviews.
I dont know why, but I always seem to have a GAG reflex every time I try to watch mixergy videos. I really want to watch it.. but I just cant get pass the gag reflex and I end up tuning out and turning it off.
I'm not a fan of watching video interviews in general, so I get a lot of value out of listening to the audio versions. Maybe you could give those a shot? They're full of really valuable information.
