Private: Could you give me feedback on this unpublished interview?

Posted on Sep 18, 2009 - 11:04 AM PST

side-by-side

About this

I’m trying a new editing approach based on the comments I’ve gotten. I used it on this interview. Before I publish it on the main part of Mixergy.com, I wanted to get your feedback.

Feedback I could use

How did this side-by-side layout look to you?

Did the audio come out okay?

What do you think the text of this post should be?

    Hey Andrew!

    I like the new layout. It's much more engaging – kind of like a baseball game from the center-field camera — where you get to see the pitcher, batter and catcher all in one frame. In my opinion, it works!

    Your audio was great. Hers had a little bit of an echo, but that just may be her mic.

    I'm wondering what the headline should be though. Hmmmm…

  2. KHPatel Says:

    Suggestion for the future interviews: Link to information/websites of the companies and organizations mentioned and discussed in the interview. I find myself looking for information on the companies, to familiarize myself with the interviewee, every time.

  3. chris Says:

    side-by-side layout is cool – good ux.

    audio was fine overall – hers sounded a bit voip-y

  4. Sloane Berrent Says:

    Well. Andrew, as you can imagine, I'm first in line to say this is my favorite interview EVER on Mixergy. Mostly because what she discusses has been my life this past year. Being burnt out. Having a great life. Deciding to give it all up and go on a journey to find passion in life and where to go to make the most impact. Re-evaluating and making sure that you're working with people you truly love.

    I like the side by side. Sound quality is great. You're good to catch when sound goes out and have her repeat herself. These interviews just keep getting better and better.

    How about calling it “How to make everything you wish for come true.”

  5. Michael Gioia Says:

    Andrew,
    Great interview as usual. Much more personal than your past interviews; also I have been asking myself what my passion and purpose is lately and after hearing her describe her passions/purpose she has widened my view on what these terms actual mean.

    As for your questions; I love the side by side layout, audio on her end is not that great at times, text should be “Entrepreneurial Journey: All your dreams can come true”

  6. Melvin Ram Says:

    RE: Layout
    Love it!

    RE: Interview
    First person who actually has made “social networks” make sense on how it might be able to a valuable marketing vehicle. I love her story & energy.

    Audio was fine for 99% of it. Leave the ending as is.

    Thanks for continuing to do great interviews.

  7. ChrisNwakalo @CIKN Says:

    This is up there as one of the best guests you've ever had Andrew.. I know you must love your job

  8. ChrisNwakalo @CIKN Says:

    Also if you could, segue into the advert because it was somewhat deceiving.

  9. ljcweb Says:

    I like the new format and this was a great interview!!

  10. Kaspar Says:

    Hi Andrew,

    just downloaded the show with iTunes, and I love this side-by-side setup so much!! The audio quality (which I bothered you about couple weeks ago) is now outstanding!! Thumbs up!

  11. Kaspar Says:

    And by the way… which program did you use to achieve this side-by-side setup?

    Thank you for you response! Looking forward to your next interview!

    Best regards,
    Kaspar

  12. David - aka @threedot Says:

    You always deliver a great interview – but this one is one of your best Andrew – motivational, informative, and what a great guest! Thank you for all your great content, this is why I am such a huge fan of Mixergy.

    I love the side by side – much nicer than the back and forth – and did you do something to improve the resolution as well? … and I agree with KHPatel – show notes would be awesome!

    This was a phenomenal interview with a phenomenal woman. Maria embodies passion, trust, enthusiasm and exuberance.
    Loved the format and loved the content – well done to you both.
