I started www.josiahgo.com on May 9, 2014 with an interview with marketing expert Edwin Totanes. The interview was quite long and it had to be split into two parts. It remains the all-time favorite of readers in 2014. My top 10 Q&A blog posts for 2014 according to the number of readers are:

I have been given feedback that some of my questions were hard to answer and needed some time for reflection. I thank all my interview respondents — the thought leaders of the industry, not just for making themselves available but also for their selflessness and honesty to share lessons existing and future marketers can learn from.
