#1001 The 1,000 interview celebration

On August 4, 2008, I posted a video up on Mixergy where I looked up
into the web cam on my computer and I said “I failed.” And I said
that I was going to shut down my invitation business and start
doing interviews with entrepreneurs and people in general who I
admire so I can learn from them and take back what I’ve learned
from them to build a more successful company in the future. And I
said that along the way you’d get to watch and learn as I learned
directly from my heroes. We did it. A thousand interviews later
here I am today bringing back some of the most memorable and most
influential interviewees. People who helped me both on camera here
with you and off. I invited them on to a Google Hangout to talk
about the old days, to ask them some new questions and to do short
interviews with them all for you. That’s what this is all about. My
goal when I started out was to build a successful company. I think
Mixergy is that company. But I wanted to be even more successful.
My goal is that I started to talk in interviews afterwards evolved
into saying that I would like someone who is watching these
interviews to learn from them, to use what they’ve learned and then
build a successful company so they can come back and do an
interview themselves.

I am the founder of Mixergy, home of the ambitious upstart. And
this is my 1,000th interview.
