Hi Srinivas,
I just finished listening to your interview with Josh & Rich. I knew nothing about them. I thinkI’d seen their names mentioned, probably from you, but who knows. Anyway, these are great, wise, men (people) and I’m REALLY, REALLY glad to be introduced to them by you. thank you, thank you, thank you. I can see why they are two of your favorite bloggers as you say at the end of your interview.
Keep up the great interviews.

Thank you for this interview. I've listened to Josh's first interview and saw this through e-mail recently. Once again Josh provided a lot of great information which aspiring bloggers and writers can learn from. It is a wide market out there and choosing what to work with can be a daunting process. Although sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone, it's kind of intuitive to know what will rock for the long-term. So kudos to Josh for that.
