(4:35) I discuss a chart produced by India in Pixels by Ashris that breaks down the median household income by ethnicity. I explain why I believe this is a call for startups from African-American and Hispanic founders, and why I think people should be focusing on the real emergency in Silicon Valley.
(10:52) I talk about how I went to see the new Air Movie with my wife and how it provided me with the inspiration to start running for my upcoming half marathon in July.
(15:18) I introduce a new segment called Kid's Corner, where I discuss my thoughts on the "Time Billionaire" concept by Graham Duncan. This idea was brought to my attention by Sahil Bloom's tweet and blog post, and it really got me thinking.
(22:15) I interviewed Ben Lilienthal, the CEO and Founder of ScreenMeet. He spoke about his experience of getting fired, running out of money, and building four successful B2B enterprise companies. He also shared his insights on parenting, which I found to be quite interesting.
(36:40) How ScreenMeet differentiates itself and he got lucky for its first large enterprise deal and now with 5% of the Fortune 500 customers.
