Business Mentors Interviewer, Andrew Mason
Check out the full episode here:
Andrew describes himself as a nerd raised by nerds in a corn field!
Hailing from the state of Delaware. Andrew took his passion for learning to
another level when a friend and him decided to start a company based around
blogging and WordPress sites. It was his friend who suggested that he start up a
podcast for the website, to help build content and a following. Starting out
they interviewed the members of their team. Soon the podcast started to reach
out and interview people from other companies.
Eventually the company had dissolved, but Andrew wasn’t about to give up on his
new found passion of podcasting. The Proguide has allowed Andrew to learn as
well as pass the knowledge along to others from successful business mentors. He
has had successful business mentors like Guy Kawasaki and John Lee Dumas on the
Proguide.
I’m really great that Andrew decided to come be on Dreamers Podcast because he
is a really great, down to earth person. He is a great example of finding
something that you are good at, and pushing hard to make a great show. Something
else, that Andrew shared with me before the interview was that he got to
interview John Lee Dumas on his show, Entrepreneur on Fire in Episode 333. I
would suggest everyone check out that episode as well, because it was very
informative in what it takes to stick something out.

thank you I really appreciate you coming
on the day when we get started by giving
12

some background about yourself
13
00:00:44,530 — 00:00:50,680
yeah okay so i got into podcasting
probably about four years ago and the
14
00:00:50,680 — 00:00:55,239
reason I did that is I had a mentor in
like that really really helped me out
15
00:00:55,239 — 00:01:00,220
about I was in kind of a rough place in
life I was a little bit depressed going
16
00:01:00,220 — 00:01:04,539
through some tough stuff and he cared
enough to tell me the truth about myself
17
00:01:04,540 — 00:01:08,350
and the truth about his perspective in
life and it just pointed me in a really
18
00:01:08,350 — 00:01:12,190
healthy direction and from that moment
I’m like you know what there is no shame
19
00:01:12,190 — 00:01:14,530
in learning from others
20
00:01:14,530 — 00:01:17,890
there’s no shame in and finding out
people that have a different and better
21
00:01:17,890 — 00:01:22,660
perspective than u2 and where you are in
life and so I set out to learn from as
22
00:01:22,660 — 00:01:26,530
many people as possible about just
different things in business and in
23
00:01:26,530 — 00:01:31,270
technology and creativity and I wanted
to have an exclusive coaching session
24
00:01:31,270 — 00:01:34,810
with them and they just pass that
information on to to everybody else so
25
00:01:34,810 — 00:01:37,660
that they can do what they do better to
that was the canned answer and then the
26
00:01:37,660 — 00:01:43,149
