“Challenge” Pilot Episode: A Big Thanks

Whew….I just finished recording the pilot episode of the Matt Report WordPress startup challenge.

It. Was. Epic!

First, I want to say it was a humbling experience getting some of the best folks in the WordPress community to join me and devote over an hour of their time. Seriously, you guys rock.

Second, the freshman round of startup contestants did a great job presenting and asking questions — really, you folks are what inspire me to do this stuff. I threw a lot of weight on your shoulders as our guinea pigs  and you handled it effortlessly — like a true entrepreneur.
