Totally Transparent.

Funny, Andrew. I'm rereading an old article in Wired Magazine as we speak. It's on radical transparency and the new world of the web.

Of course, that was wayyy back in 2007.

But I spent a day with Dr Vic last November (the Experience Architect behind Zappos). Seems clear, engaging and honest dialog is never out of style.

Really cool to see you growing another big-picture business. Let me know if I can help. Your type of content is truly the RichContent we most like to promote.

Best of success this year. And thanks again for opening the kimono.

I'm glad you decided to run it and share a story about some of your past success. I'm new to your site (found out about it through Todd Smith, I follow his stuff) and when I landed on your site I didn't know anything about who you were. With SO many people out there on the net I think you def should share the story of your success. It gives so much credibility to your ability.

Personally I only care to learn from people who've "been there done that" and sharing the story of what you've done proves you know how to "walk the talk"

Now that I know about this website I am a fan and am keeping tuned.

Nice video. Who bought out Bradford and Reed? And was the operating expenses around $14M, Did I see that right?

Andrew--
Inspiring! And a great coincidence that I found your site today: the dream I have had for three years was realized today when my website went live this morning. It still needs a few tweaks before I start promoting it, but I believe with all my heart that it has something to offer the world that people will enjoy. I will definitely be back to check out your interviews--thank you for a great site!

I think you're doing an amazing job of connecting the dots. It's as if you're a mini-TED. I've taken the time to watch a few of your interviews and they all surpass the typical TV interviews we all usually see. You make your interviews count.

I also respect and admire your desire and ambition to think and dream bigger. Your goal for your life will liberate other entrepreneurs to think and live in terms of "legacy" over "currency".

Thanks.

Hey Andrew, I found your site through Neil Patel tweet. I started reading his awesome blog and followed him at twitter just today and then I saw his tweet about your site and now I am reading it
to the fullest because since then I was young I love to do business or about sales. Anyway, right now it open up again my hunger about owning a real business and lately I already started having an affiliate business and started helping other people to be better about their financial situations. And as I do that, my business are being blessed also. Starting today, I will be following your blog and learn more from you and others. Maybe, someday I want to own my first company or venture online. As I learn from you and of all the interviews in here I am sure I will be successful someday just like you.

Great story about your success.

Julius

Thanks. Failure was a hard thing to admit, but I felt reborn after.

I just read this story for the second time, it took a bit to really digest, this is super encouraging. Not just the money portion, but the fact that you admit you failed and then just grew from it. I always worry about complete & epic failure... so seeing you grow from it makes me smile.

Thanks again, this site is really like the Mentor I never had...

Wow Andrew. Just wow!

Now I'm really pumped of starting my business. It's going to be a rough road since I'm living in the Dominican Republic, but I'll freaking get there :).

All this time I considered Angels and VCs a top priority for every business, but the people you've interviews and yourself have taught me otherwise.

Regards,
Omar Duarte

Hi Andrew,
can you please post an URL to Bradford & Reed site? I wander to see how it looks. Google doesn't give any relevant result by this name. If you were able to sell it to Fox, it must be worth it.

Update.
I've just checked http://www.medialifemagazin..., that you reference in About page. So grab.com is the product of Bradford & Reed? This scam site that offered $1 bln as prize?

Man, that is a sweet strategy with the random name. I might have to copy that.

I'm glad you posted this, Andrew.

I hope this gives EVERYONE out there a giant kick-in-the-ass to get moving! If Andrew Warner, Noah Kagan, Gary V, Siamak and all the others can do it -- let's join them! Let's do it too!

I'm pumped.

Hey Andrew,

My friend John Yang referred me to your site. He's doing a video interview with you tomorrow, how cool. First and foremost it's awesome that you've created this site for other ambitious business owners, your post is inspiring and kicks me in the butt to move forward with my business plan and vision.

This is going to be a major resource for my project to help me create a "legacy-making" business. Kudos to you Andrew.

BTW- Early last year a friend and myself thought of a web concept similar to Mixergy.com, we even bought the domain name www.startyourventure.com. We never did anything with it, because we didn't even know where to begin. A site like your's is needed to get us ambitious idealists to take action.

TOTAL EXPENSES?

Your revenues were $38 million. What were your total expenses?

Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 13:40:34 -0000

That's great, but what matters in a business isn't the topline, it's the bottomline. Am I the only one who finds somewhat suspicious that you're willing to share one but not the other?

What an excellent idea. Reverse engineering at its best.

Truman River — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 09:03:46 -0000

You are certainly a great public speaker and you seem to have motivated quite a few people with the video.

However, why do you only show the revenue number? Can you share how profitable the business was and the cash flow generated? Potentially anyone could build a $40million revenue business by selling $10 bills for $1 - unfortunately it would not last for long.

Re: Okay, I’ll Show You my financials.

Andrew Warner — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 12:00:16 -0000

I hope to help you get even further than I did.
