Interview Transcript Patrick: Hello, and welcome to another edition of the SitePoint podcast. This is Patrick O’Keefe, and I am joined today for our interview show by my friend, Scott Fox. Scott is an Internet lifestyle entrepreneur and he focuses on online small business, social media marketing, and e-business start-up strategies. He is the author of a few books, including “Internet Riches” and “e-Riches 2.0,” but his latest book is “Click Millionaires,” and again, it’s focused on lifestyle entrepreneurship. He also blogs at scottfox.com, and is a podcaster and he’s on social networks and all that good stuff as well. Scott, welcome to the show. Scott: Hey, Patrick. Thanks for having me.

That’s what I’ve been working towards my whole life as well. I’ve had spurts, as you know, Patrick, but if the audience is interested why I have the credibility to write these books, because I’ve tried a lot of different things. I was a psychology major, undergrad, put myself through college, but then I went to Wall Street and I did very well there and made some money that enabled me to do more things. Then I was a lawyer in the entertainment business. I got into television and radio, and then I got into the Internet and I’ve started a bunch of dot coms and helped celebrities and big companies build their online presence. In all this experimentation, I guess I’ve probably walked away from more interesting and high paying jobs than most people even have. But all of that has led me to [...]
