Thank you mitch for this podcast 😀

Hi Mitch,
I thought I’d do some reflection here on the power of ‘Influencers’.
Beginning with an insight into my decision making process:
Just two weeks ago, I was thinking about getting Avinash Kaushik’s book on Web Analytics (an hour a day).
I moved from “thinking about it” to “will buy it tomorrow” after reading about your conversation with Avinash Kaushik.
Here’s the thing – I’ve not even heard that podcast yet (I will this weekend). But I’m making my purchase decision purely based on your validation.
We’ve all been talking about how Content is King. In this case, I’ve not even listened to the content of your podcast with Avinash.
So much for the importance of Content!
Perhaps content is king; only because the provision or the exchange of “trusted content� creates the trusted relationships that PR and WOM thrives on.
Hi Mitch:
I haven’t even listened to half of the episode yet, but I wanted to thank you for your interview with Avinash.
He is truly great to listen to. Smart, witty and totally in-the-know with all things analytical.
The previous carcast interview you guys did was awesome.
Cheers,
Dave
