- Am I addressing the issues that entrepreneurs want help with?
- Is my audio and video easy to follow?
- What other tools should I add to the site?
I've subscribed to the feed, but find I have no interest in the video. I'll skim the summary, but find myself wanting a feed of just the audio files to listen to while running. Any possibility of adding the audio only to a feed?
Thanks. It's a big request.
I added it for members of my mailing list and will roll it out site-wide in the next week.
You can see it at the top of this post:

I have been visiting Mixergy alot lately and love the content on the site. Andrew Warner produces high quality interviews which almost any entrepreneur will find interesting.
Keep up the good work.
I love the clean layout of the site,but the only thing i would like to see is some type of notification when there gonna be a live interview, i know you have the upcoming section. But how i find out about the live interviews is thru twitter when u post your link..lol
Thanks. After my wedding & honeymoon (in Oct), I'll stick with a consistent schedule every weekday. I think you're right that it's hard to know when I'm going live.
I really appreciate this Alex.
I can't say if you're addressing the issues entrepreneurs want help with b/c I'm not one...sorry.
Audio and video is definitely easy to follow.
I'm a bit confused on the "Live" tab - it's not obvious to me what it is.
Are the videos at the top your "featured interviews"? I think I got that after listening to a few, but maybe tag that section with "featured interviews" or something like that might be quicker to understand how that section differs from the "Interviews" tab.
Great site and can definitely see how this is beneficial to entrepreneurs. Very cool that you interviewed Jimmy Wales!
Oh, good luck on your coming up wedding and congratulations!
I've been wrestling with that live page ever since I saw the feedback here. For some reason, Wordpress cached it and won't let me show a different page. I pulled it for now. Your feedback has been very helpful on that.
I'll ask my designer friend to redo the top images when she has time. Good point.
Thanks for all this!
Great site and theme. I actually do plan to visit this site. If if weren't for launch.ly, would never have heard about this. Great work and great service. Maybe offer some type of social networking? similar to entrepreneur connect? even something thru ning?
Overall I love your site and what you're doing. The design is nice and clean and simple to use. Bravo.
My first suggestion is that the Events page could use some work. I found the embedded Google calendar widget cumbersome to use. You might want to think about rolling your own here?
On the interview pages I often find that I don't immediately know who someone is that you are interviewing. You have a nice bio but it is pretty far down the page. It might be nice to pull an overview of the interviewee up on the page so I know more about who I'm about to watch immediately. Maybe you could position it at the top of the right side column?
I found the Live category confusing. I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking at here. Maybe you could explain a bit what is going on there? When I loaded it I just saw an Off Air UStream channel. What normally happens there? When?
Finally, what is up w/the Free Startup Report signup? It doesn't say specifically that I'm signing up for your general mailing list but then it doesn't explain what exactly I AM signing up for either. It sounds like something I might be interested in but what is this "startup report" that I'll receive? I think you may want to at least make it a clickable link to an explanation/example of the startup report that you send out with details on frequency etc.
P.S. Your footer does not look right on FF 3.5 on OSX, see the included screenshot.

This is incredibly helpful. Thanks!
