Thanks Maren, glad you enjoyed it.
Just echoing Tony – glad you liked the interview Maren. Look forward to connecting!
I really enjoyed the interview!! Tony, you asked some very insightful questions that many beginners (in blogging), including myself who would find it very useful. I reached out to Matt last month about his transition to web design without any experience and he did not hesitate to offer himself as a resource and told me not to be afraid to ask questions.(Tony) I just started my blog last week and I was wondering if we could chat about some ideas and questions that I have.
I’m always about to chat, shoot me an email at (tony@venturemixx.com) and we can chat about your ideas and questions.
You know we I here of people like Matt I get really encourages me to keep blogging because like he said he looked back six months ago and he sees so much that can happen in so little time I hope to be getting interviewed once I have a story like that.
Keep up the interviews brother I like the questions you really diggin in there really good into their minds thats what we need.
Matt is an awesome blogger and is always on top of his game when it come to innovation. It wouldn’t hurt to follow him ;)
