The show was great, and I really enjoyed participating. If you missed it, and would like to take a look, all of the old episodes are in iTunes: http://itunes.hubspot.tv/
I thought I would provide a quick top 10 of what I saw "behind the scenes" during my visit to HubSpot.tv.
- The HubSpot offices are located in the heart of Kendall Square in the One Broadway building. Parking isn't cheap.
- The office layout is very open -- and right outside the HubSpot.tv room there are rows and rows of salespeople taking calls. It's pretty impressive for a "startup."
- The filming of the show takes place in an open room with a ping pong table, drum set, and cooler full of beverages (beer).
- Besides Karen and Mike, there are a number of other folks that assist in the production of the show. I didn't catch all of their names, but they were very nice people.
- A few minutes before the taping started, I was emailed some notes about the show (I was told that I'd get them in the morning, but apparently things were running a bit behind that day). So I read them in detail for the first time on air!
- I was repeatedly told not to lean on the desk that we all sat behind. Of course, I still managed to lean on it -- and they were right, it's not sturdy.
- To my knowledge, Mike Volpe did not wear makeup during the show. Maybe he just wears some everyday...
- Yes, I was drinking beer in my Hubspot mug. Sam Adams.
- Karen is as energetic on camera as she is off. I think it would be fun to go to Vegas with her and the HubSpot team.
- The room was full of HubSpotters during the show -- including Brian Halligan (the CEO of HubSpot). There were also other tech folks that came in to the office to see the show. Many people came up to me after the show and were very appreciative.
