Next Episode: MMP 02: 5 Things I’ve learned about beginner riders since starting MM.com

In this first session of the Motorcycle Mentor Podcast, I explain who I am and why I started MotorcycleMentor.com. I also introduce my motorcycle mentors, Fred and Pete.

I started MotorcycleMentor.com in 2005. To say the site has gone through several iterations would be a gross understatement. In the early days, I spent too much time making the site look pretty, instead of focusing on making it valuable. I failed miserably getting the content that my mentors and others had written for me onto the site.

I was embarrassed. To get rid of the knot in my stomach, I sold MotorcycleMentor.com in 2011. But in 2013 I bought it back! Have you ever failed to complete something you KNEW you were supposed to finish? This was the case for me. I explain more in this podcast.

More specifically, in this session you’ll find out about: Who is David Mixson? How I got started riding a motorcycle. How I found my motorcycle mentors. Why I started MotorcycleMentor.com. Why I sold MotorcycleMentor.com, then bought it back 2 years later. Resources and links mentioned in this session: About MotorcycleMentor (more about the site) David Mixson (more about me) Fred Applegate (more about my motorcycle mentor Fred) Pete Tamblyn (more about my motorcycle mentor Pete) Leave feedback or ask a question

You can also leave me a voice mail message. I might play your voice mail question during an upcoming podcast.

And lastly, if you haven’t already done so, would you take a minute to leave a quick rating and review of the podcast on iTunes by clicking on the link below. It would be extremely helpful for the show and I’m aiming for 100 5-star ratings before the end of the year. That would be awesome for a motorcycle-related podcast.
