Episode 1: Rand Fishkin


Listen Later

Today we get to interview Rand Fishkin. You probably know him as the husband of Geraldine, a hilarious travel blogger. Or perhaps as the Wizard of Moz or as one of the most fashionable men in SEO. I call him a friend and mentor.

If you haven’t heard Rand’s story before, then you are in for a treat. Today you will hear about how Rand got his introduction into the world of web design, some of the good and bad decisions he made along the way (along with advice for his older, wiser self), and how he was able to turn a failing business into a venture backed startup.

I have been learning from Rand for years, and there are some questions that I have always wanted to ask him but never had the nerve. Today I ask him these questions.

Like what was the name of SEOMoz when they were a web design agency?

We get the answer to that question, and many more on today’s podcast.
