Since you brought up this up..I haven't listened to the episode yet but I'm interested to hear what he say about that part.

I like what Aaron's trying to do, especially since it's free. My problem with it is the guru part. I don't believe there is much verification of real trading done. I think for every guest he should be screen sharing with them while they opened up their brokerage statements for past few years and their results partially disclosed/summarised like in the Market Wizard books so we can actually know who we are hearing/learning from. But I would bet a LARGE majority of interviewees will decline the interview.

For them it's free publicity. Quite a few of them are selling stuff, free promotion is always good. Most of them are "social" Twitter traders - any publicity to attract following is good. There's a few guys on the list who's courses are just pure rehashed garbage. On the positive side there are great big name interviewees who've got nothing to prove & gain like Schwaeger & Raschke who just love trading and giving back.

At the end of day, Aaron is running a business, he gets paid from sponsors and needs the traffic so he kinda needs the volume of interviewees.

Just my opinion, I'm sure someone somewhere gets something out of every interview even if the source is questionable..
