I want to understand that.And why didn’t I know more about him before? Was he keeping a low profile intentionally?

And in a past interview with Cameron Herold, I brought it up because he’s the founder of the COO Alliance, the world’s leading network for the second in command.I don’t get embarrassed by a lot of stuff. If you heard my interviews, you hear me get pretty frank about my flaws, my mistakes. But this issue is something I was embarrassed about. I think if I don’t hire somebody to be the second in command at Mixergy, I am probably going to collapse.So, that’s what today is about. It’s not so much an interview as it is a coaching call with the guy who knows hiring better than anyone else. You’ll get to hear what I learned and my hope is that you benefit from it too.

Rate this interview -> https://mixergy.com/rateint0 min - #1558 How Mark Goldenson brought therapy onlineThe guy you’re about to meet in today’s interview started an online therapy business, which years ago I would have said, “Who wants to do that? That seems a little bit impersonal.”But over the years I realized that therapy stinks. Every therapist that I’ve been to in person was either crappy or good, but I don’t have the time to see them because they’re so good that I can’t get on their calendar. I’ve tried online therapy and I’ve had bad experiences with bad companies.I’m especially interested in Mark’s business and how he build it. He’ll tell me about the challenges trying to get therapy online and trying to get people, like me, to understand it. And how he was able to sell it.Mark Goldenson is the founder of Breakthrough.com, an online therapy service. It has since been acquired by MDLIVE.

Rate this interview -> https://mixergy.com/rateint1 hr 7 min - #1557 How 50 Cent, KISS, and Aerosmith are using Messenger marketingI am so frickin’ fascinated by chatbots and it’s because I recognized that reaching my audience via email was a losing proposition. No matter how much effort we were putting into better headlines, better copy, whatever, people just don’t love email.The benefit of Messenger is we don’t write long messages, we write short messages that will reach them and they actually check it.Well, today’s guest is the founder of a Messenger marketing platform that helps e-commerce companies connect with customers and drive sales.Matt Schlicht, of Octane AI, showed me what he does and blew my frickin’ mind. I invited him here because I think anyone who’s interested in Messenger as a way of communicating with customers has to see what they have done.
