Show Notes

Bob Metcalfe helped invent the Ethernet in 1973 while working at Xerox.

He didn't get rich from helping to invent the Ethernet though.

Bob actually got rich by starting his own computer networking company called 3Com, where he sold Ethernet and many other products.

After the success of 3Com, which became a multi-billion dollar company, he tried many other careers.

He was a journalist, a VC, and a professor. And now, he is looking for his next job.
