I'm so grateful that you guys like this interview!

As I prepped for it, I thought of the HN community and said, "Those guys heard all about the Lean Startup methodology. How the hell am I going to bring them anything new and make it useful for them?"

I almost psyched myself out by worrying about it. Then I put HN out of my mind completely and tried to just focus on the material.

That's why I'm stunned & appreciative that you like. Thank you.

Keep up the good work Andrew. Premium subscriber here. Totally worth it.

Video, certainly is the future of content. And you're leading the way, for us hackers.

I've gotta say this. Your interviews have evolved since when you'd started -- true signs of progress.

Also, I've noticed a consistent enthusiasm and energy in your newer interviews. Passion is contagious.

One more thing... I'd love it if you'd do a little 'here's something thing I'd love to see built' segment. (like Fred Wilson often does)

Where you could elaborate on ideas you'd love to see improved/built. And the hacker community would respond, with swift ferocity.

Thanks! It's so good to see that it shows.

The other thing I'm noticing is that guests trust me more. Founders who aren't as experienced as Eric will let me spend up to an hour pre-interviewing them so we can hunt for the right ideas to include.

And thanks for the AVC idea.

Interesting. Well, you've built up a lot of authority over the years. That they trust you more, has been well earned.

I'm baffled by the 'pre-interview' concept.

Would love to see a candid 'behind-the-scenes' (video) peek at your process, without giving too much away. Maybe tiny interviews with your team even. Passion multiplied!

There is always something to learn from each Mixergy interview.
