I met Bernardo Mendez about a year ago, when he hired me to consult with him on his blog and business. When I came across what he was doing, I was blown away by how good he was at video content. So I did everything in my power to raise his profile among my network. His videos are some of the most well put together and inspirational ones you’ll find online. Today I’m absolutely thrilled to share his story with you.

Srini,Thank you so much for having me as a guest today, what an honor my friend. I am a big fan of this show and an even bigger fan of your approach to marketing, podcasting and most importantly creating genuine and lasting relationships. -Bernardo

@CAPSUN @blogcastfm Thanks for sharing!
I love this interview! He is absolutely right that when you can see someone as a human and simply be grateful even for their negative comment it changes everything! I have just started blogging at bridge2bohemia.blogspot.com and I had a “negative” comment all I could do was smile and say “thank you!”
@mimisee Dear Mirona, Thank you for your kind words and appreciate you listening on my interview
Negative comments are just part of life and if you can embrace them and not feel threatened by them you will find that a whole world of freedom opens up. AS a side note I love ROMANIA and have been to Bucharest a couple of times. Incredible people who are full of life and want to make good things happen in the world. BIG Hug -Bern

This is a really inspiring and helpful interview! I am working on creating my own web show (launching in a couple weeks) and have recorded 10 interviews. Still figuring out my style and my presence in front of the camera. Really like what Bernardo said about practicing and pretending the camera is another person. That’s really going to help! I too was super impressed the first time I came across Your Great Life. Very professional and genuine
