What’s All This Then!

I finally got a chance to watch and listen to the podcast interview between Jason Calacanis and Ted Murphy. For the first 30 minutes, Jason did it excellent job at being the devil’s advocate and Ted showed how committed he is to his vision of PayPerPost. After that, it seemed that Jason got a little full of himself. You can always tell how skilled an interviewer is by the way they let their interviewee answer the questions, which includes allowing your guests to finish answering the question. I lost my respect of Jason at that point. In the final moments of the interview, Jason went so far as to throw down a gauntlet that he probably thought Ted couldn’t handle. But with the spirit of an entrepreneur who believes in his vision, Mr. Murphy showed where his heart is — with PayPerPost, with the advertisers, and finally, with his posties.

I have no doubt that Mr. Murphy has a difficult balancing act between the investors, the advertisers, the posties, and his company. From my side of the equation, I wish that things were as profitable for me as they were a few months ago. But this is business. After listening to the interview, I do feel better about the man that I’m dealing with. Even though I’m now competing with almost 30,000 other bloggers for a limited amount of opportunities, I still hope that PayPerPost will continue to have the success that it deserves and that that success will roll downhill towards my end. After watching that interview, I think that maybe there is a better chance of that happening now. Assuming, of course, the PPP wants me to continue blogging for them.
