    The guy is great. Not only he's a great mind, but it's evident that he values human virtues like sharing knowledge and experience, connecting people with people, and has a kind of ethical mentality that is missing from many people in the crazy SV gold rush. I'd certainly want to have this guy as an advisor, a mentor, an investor and a partner to any social startup I would be a member of.

    Phenomenal. Just finished and I'm certain I'll rewatch parts of it. What does it say about our world that this has only half as many views as the Tim Ferriss interview on the same show?
