My thoughts:
Tim Ferriss: I met the guy and read his book (4 hour workweek) while it was still an unpublished manuscript. I got ahold of it because Tony Robbins had a copy, my girlfriend worked for Tony and brought a copy home saying I'd love it....long story short: I did love it and told Tim it would be a best seller....his response? "I know it will." Went on to be one the HUGE NYT bestseller that it is.... Great book, great guy, not sure he'd be the right fit to interview Dan. I can reach out to him, though its been quite a few years. He's still a rock star in my mind.
Max Keiser: I've already been working on trying to get Dan on Keiser's show for a few months now. Its not easy to get ahold of Keiser and although Ethereum got on the show, I think in general Keiser's people had a hard time understanding Ethereum and perhaps for that reason aren't interested in any other next gen crytpto technologies like bitshares. We're still working on several angles to get an interview on Keiser's show.
Ben Swann: Now this is a possibility. I was approached by someone in the publishing business who said Swann would have an interest in covering us. This isn't as high profile as Keiser, but he does have a big audience. Waiting on further details before we can move forward on that one.
I agree, Dan is getting much better with these interviews, and more focused with the message each time he does one. For a brand new organization less than 6 months old we've had an insane amount of press (hats off to Matt Reynolds for making a lot of it happen). Forbes, WSJournal, Fortune, Economist, etc...we have no lack of coverage, to be fair.
I fully intend to continue taking advantage of press in the future, but I think the focus now should be on execution by Dan and the whole team, a focus on creating, testing and implementing software, launching profitable DACS (with others also launching DACs) and the like, rather than focusing on publicity. We can only toot our own horn so much about how what we're doing is going to change the world before we have to actually go out and do it.
