Welcome to Pt. 2 of my first interview video!  After being inspired by some of the top names in podcasting and on YouTube, I've decided to seek out people who inspire me and interview them.  The first guest on my list is Robert Baker (http://www.youtube.com/rguitar). 

In Pt. 2 of this 2-part interview, I'll talk with Robert about some of the more entrepreneurial aspects regarding teaching guitar and running your own business as a self-employed guitarpreneur.

I first discovered Robert about a year ago and first mentioned him on my first vlog about changing the direction of how I was going to run my YouTube channel.  You can see that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv8cgWovXrM

Since then, I've been watching as many videos of his as I can and have found his solid picking, blazing fast phrasing, and creative original compositions to be a breath of fresh air for my own playing.

I highly recommend you especially check out his series on "The Secret of Shred Guitar," a 3-part video series that will have your jaw dropping and your mind thinking "Why didn't I think of that?"  See this series beginning with Pt. 1 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiQybxgx270

So without further ado, here are the questions covered in this interview...

Entrepreneur Questions
- How do you balance work, family, & personal/practice time?

- What's on your bookshelf (guitar-related or otherwise)?
- How did you start teaching?
- What were the most effective ways you used to build up your clientele?
- What are the best ways to have a high student retention rate?
- Do you have any or have you ever thought of having virtual assistants? http://www.odesk.com | http://www.elance.com

Misc. Questions
- You've been working on a shirt, is a hat in the works? 
- Any upcoming announcements Robert wants to share?
- What direction is the vlog headed (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.)?
- What do you think of http://www.appear.in?

Closing
