Producer’s note: This interview was recorded in the field (in a crowded hotel, to be exact), so the level of noise is a little higher than you’ll be used to. John and Cali will be back in the studio next week.
This week on Wealth Nation, John and Cali venture out of the comforts of the studio to South by Southwest Interactive 2010, to chat with Richard MacManus of ReadWriteWeb, all the way from New Zealand!
Richard founded RWW in 2003 and has since grew the site into one of the most widely read and respected blogs in the world, covering the exciting, dynamic world that is the internet. In this week’s show, he shares with us the behind-the-scenes of his own success story, and the important lessons he’s learned about blogging and social media along the way.
In addition, Richard gave us an inside look into the daily lives of the RWW staff, and shared tips about managing the entirely online business of a blog, or even a software or service company.
Richard’s experiences growing ReadWriteWeb into the not only famous but profitable community and brand that it is can be applied to any individual or group working on growing their reputation online.

Love this show – because, you know I love you guys! But I think it is so funny – every time you tell Dave to ‘cut this out’ or ‘cut a little here’ – he leaves it in!
Great show! Enjoyed listening while I work!
