That's a really good point Tony, well said, member interviews is something i've always wanted to do but have never gotten around to do it.
However i guess where i was coming from is besides giving as much value as possible to your members, create content to provide value to anyone in my local community, member or not. We're in Miami so there's lots of people from around the world looking to start their businesses here. They don't know where to go or what to do, and providing our local knowledge around that as always been something we've done personally.
