#12I have been watching Mixergy for last two years as a non programmer and I can say it is worth watching. It has forced me to think what entrepreneurship is and motivated me to learn programming.
If you criticize then do it constructively. I mean show me a site/blog which has brought so many founders (both successful and unsuccessful) to their knee to spit out their real life experience and I will take your word.
And I am sure there are so many niches out there screaming to be exploited in other fields (biotech, pharma, commodities etc).

#13At Mixergy I feel there are 3 categories of interviews: 1) 4 hr work week - book selling hucksters, 2) valley insiders built then sold for undisclosed bank and now have new site to promote, 3) regular shmo built a business online, doing well, and has lots to share. Andrew works very hard to cover a broad spectrum of tastes. I prefer learning from group #3, but that's me.

#14I stopped listening when he started doing interviews with Internet Marketing types and bloggers. For a time, there was great content/interviews, and while there are still some gems buried amongst the rubble, I couldn't help but be turned off by the App Sumo promotions and later, the courses engineered by hucksters. Sadly, Mixergy now feels like a Don Lapre commercial.

#15Although the premium content is getting more present on the website, I still believe Andrew delivers a lot of value for his non clients.
But at $25/month, the amount of value is unbelievable, and if you'd look a few years back, $25 wouldn't look much for everything that is being offered.
Information seems to devalue very fast.
As wannabe entrepreneurs, we should encourage people who are trying to make money, not criticize them when they do.
