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)

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.
