Thanks for your continuing support and encouragement without which we would not be able to move forward. We are doing a 12-part online radio series with Mint for their LiveMint Radio Show that is launching next week. The series is titled “Tune In To The Future.” The first 3 guests on the show are Yogen Dalal of Mayfield Fund, Mitchell Baker of Mozilla and Reid Hoffman of LinkedIn. It was a wonderful and a delightful experience interviewing all three of them.
I had interviewed Yogen a couple of years ago and it was wonderful to get an opportunity to talk to him again. We covered a wide range of topics and the central focus was the “magic of Silicon Valley.” We also talked about Vint Cert, Father of the Internet, who was his graduate thesis advisor at Stanford and one of his mentors. Yogen is a venture capitalist, mentor and entrepreneur at heart.
Interviewing Mitchell Baker of Mozilla was a real pleasure and a learning experience. We spent more than a couple of hours talking about Mozilla and about her trip to India last year. I also got an opportunity to clarify how Mitchell uses the term “public good” when it comes to Mozilla. I was looking at it from an economic and organization perspective, and during our pre-interview conversation we quickly realized that she was using the term in a more general sense.
Reid Hoffman of LinkedIn is a great conversationalist, who can effortlessly move from one topic to another. It is not for nothing that people call Reid the most connected person in Silicon Valley. Tune in to find out what Reid has to say about LinkedIn and how they started.
Hope you all get a chance to tune in to the show online.
As always, thanks for your support, encouragement and help.
