This is just one man's opinion but you may want to revisit the approach.

I don't think this article is as strong as the interviews you've done in the past. When you are interviewing you help remove some of the bias and really get to all the details, it makes it real and raw, where as users writing their own article tend do pick their positioning more carefully.

I think it is that 'realness' that makes IH different than all the noise out their on entrepreneurship blogs.

I hope if you go this route you provide more guidance to the writers to help make it more real.

(Also, it's less interesting when the IH venture already had an established market and following, I want to hear about the journey!)

Thanks for the feedback! Just for reference, the idea here is not to replace the interviews, but to supplement them. I still plan to continue doing 3 interviews/week.

This new approach will allow me to publish a lot of things that don't quite fit the interview format, but are informative and useful regardless; things might otherwise languish on Medium without any attention or discussion from the entrepreneur community; and things that otherwise might never get published at all.
