Smart Start Replay
A few weeks ago EzineArticles Expert Author Alex Mandossian interviewed me on Entrepreneurialism (one of my favorite subjects) and together we raised $2,680 for his Smart Start Giving / Kiva.org Micro-Loans for Entrepreneurs charity.
I received quite a few complaints that the audio replay was very hard to hear, so I’m releasing the MP3 and Flash versions that we created from the event. These are much clearer/easier to hear.

As I hearing impaired person, I want to remind everyone who does audio material for Web consumption that there are many people who would like to have the information in your audio presentations. However, if a person is hearing impaired, they will probably not bother downloading the audio file because so many times they can’t understand what’s being said. Either the audio quality is not good enough or the person speaking does not enunciate well. Another hindrance for hearing impaired is background music competing with the speech. It would be great if audio presentations could have closed caption (which is probably not practical) or a text transcript as alternative. This is not a complaint, just a suggestion.
