A few weeks ago I was interviewed by Krishna De, who hosts the BizGrowthLive podcast. Krishna asked some good questions and I was really happy with the interview. You can start with the blog post which accompanies Hosting Live Events To Attract More Clients, or head over directly to BlogTalk Radio to listen to the interview.

I recently announced that SmallBizPod would be doing interviews of our speakers so that you can get a taste of who you’ll be listening to at Going Solo.
Here it is: SmallBizPod #67 – Going Solo – freelance perspectives — a 30-minute episode featuring interviews of Suw Charman-Anderson, Laura Fitton, Dennis Howlett, Martin Roell, Stowe Boyd and myself, where we talk about our background and experience as freelancers.
It’s well worth a listen!
Thanks a lot to Alex from our media partner SmallBizPod for organizing this. (He also wrote a blog post about Going Solo: Going Solo – how to do it right.) Don’t forget to check out his other interviews, too!
A year ago I was in London, and dropped by at the Blogging 4 Business conference. I was hanging out in the lobby when some guy stopped by me as he was rushing out, introduced himself, and told me I wouldn’t know him but he was a fan of Fresh Lime Soda, before running off. Quite an experience!
A couple of weeks ago, I sent an e-mail to Alex Bellinger, who does SmallBizPod, the UK’s first small business podcast. I’d been advised to check out SmallBizPod as a possible media partner for Going Solo. Alex got back to me straight away, and he reminded me that we’d already met: turns out he was “the guy” in the Blogging 4 Business story!
Anecdotes aside, I’m really happy to introduce SmallBizPod as a Going Solo media partner. Alex will be doing a series of interviews of the speakers early this week for the next episode of his podcast. Looking forward to hearing it!
Alex’s podcast features interviews of entrepreneurs and other topics of interest for small business owners and soloists. Here’s what he has to say about SmallBizPod:
Back in March 2005, I became one of only a handful of people in the UK to start podcasting. Looking around for a subject I realised there were no British-based podcasts on business. Since I’d just set up my own business and had spent many years focusing on the small business sector, a podcast on entrepreneurship seemed like a good way to go. SmallBizPod was born. It’s now listened to by thousands of people from all over the world.
Update, 21.02.08: the open stage speech video is online!
Unfortunately, we have no idea when my open stage speech video will be available. I guess this shows you why it’s always better to attend events rather than rely on technology to give you second-hand access to them. For those of you who didn’t attend my speech (because they weren’t at LIFT, or because they arrived too late on Thursday, well… I can only say I hope the recording is not lost and will surface at some point. (Let’s say “it’s complicated”.)
I was interviewed at least four times after my speech, and I’d like to point you to two videos which are online — and are, in my opinion, pretty good 🙂
First, my friend Robert Scoble caught me off-guard on Qik:

Then, Nicolas Charbonnier did a really nice interview of me with his HD camera. I can’t embed it here, but you should head over to techvideoblog.com and watch it there. (Maybe I’ll stick it on YouTube or something later on.) Third time lucky — thanks for insisting, Nicolas: I said “yes, later, not now” the first two times he approached me. I’m glad we did it!
