October 20, 2010 18:50 - 66.6 MBMany founders I interviewed on Mixergy told me about how their companies virtually disappeared after they sold them. But 4 years after selling Reddit to Conde Nast, Steve Huffman is so proud of how much its grown that he’d be happy to still own it.

January 25, 2010 22:39 - 49.2 MBYou listen to my programs because I don’t do the cute “let’s get to know the author” interviews that others are known for.
