Hey there, Freedom Fighters.

My name is Andrew Warner.

I am the founder of Mixer G, home of the ambitious upstart.

And this, who, who, this is my thousandth interview.

You know, on August 4th, 2008, I posted a video up on MixerG

where I looked up into the webcam on my computer and I said I failed and I said that I was

going to shut down my invitation business and start doing interviews with entrepreneurs

and people in general who I admire so I can learn from them and take back what I've learned

from them to build a more successful company in the future.

And I said that along the way you'd get to watch and learn as I learned directly from my

heroes.

And we did it.

A thousand interviews later, here I am today, bringing back some of the most memorable and most influential

interviewees, people who helped me both on camera here with you and off. I invited him on

to a Google Hangout to talk about the old days, to ask them some new questions, and to do

short interviews with them all for you. That's what this is all about. My goal when I started out was to build a successful company.

I think Mixer G is that company, but I wanted to be even more successful.

My goal is I started to talk in interviews afterwards,

evolved into saying that I would like someone who's watching these interviews

to learn from them, to use what they learned, and then build a successful company so they can come back here and do an interview themselves. Basically, I consider this the circle of, like the circle of life on Mixergy. You learn, you do, you come back, and you share with others so that they could learn from you. And I'm so proud at how many people have done that.

And I'm hoping that you, the person who's listening right now,

will help to complete that circle sometime soon.
