Hi Blair
Did you use skype for the interview with Corbett? Good quality if you did.
Yes, I used Skype + Call Recorder for Skype to record the call. Then, I used ScreenFlow to mix and master the video to add the subtitles and transitions back and forth between Corbett and myself.

Excellent interview Blair! I look forward to Corbett’s new course, as well as reading more about your blog!
Thanks Elizabeth! Glad you enjoyed the interview.
Great interview. Corbett inspired me to start blogging as well and, because of his advice, it is thriving even at only a couple weeks old.
I especially like his tip on moving to a less expensive location to both save money as well as focus more easily. Moving back to a suburb has been such a good move personally, after living on 14th street in NYC. It’s a big change but productivity has increased greatly.
Best of luck on your blog Blair!
Chris
Thanks Christopher! Glad you enjoyed the interview.
Here’s to your success in 2013!
