The Innovator

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

An interview with John Kao, CEO of Kao & Company, is an excellent way to kick off the start of FastCompany.tv and ScobleizerTV. Why? Well, he taught business at Harvard University for 14 years. Is widely recognized as one of the world's top experts on innovation (his book Innovation Nation was named by Business Week to be one of the top business books of 2007) who works with tons of companies to help them be more innovative. But that doesn't start to explain why John's an interesting person. Heck, he played in Frank Zappa's band and plays some piano for us, as well. We hear John's thoughts on Innovation and more.

Thanks for making this interview available. I am more interested in Technology and Public Policy than the newest valley startup.

I'm so happy I clicked on the link to this interview. It was so engaging,
warm and welcoming. In a world where the media batters us with negatives
about the world around us, this was an uplifting moment in the day.

It does not play for me. I have waited over 2 minutes!

That guy's a poser. Turn off your blackjack before the meeting.

Show respect.

Very cool interview.

Have you considered embedding the video in RSS feed, this way I don't have to leave my Google Reader tab.

I look forward to more videos like this.

Great start.

Great interview.
Mr. Kao is certainly interesting person.

Lifetime Scope Journal (LSJ) is interested to co-productions with Scobleizer.tv !

Thrilled to find FastCompany and see you're Scobelzing here!
I have to agree with the other posts about the need to know how long each segment is.
I'm looking forward to coming here often!

Another suggestion: Use AJAX for comment submission! I was in the middle of watching the interview when (perhaps naively) submitting the previous comment. Now I have to skip ahead and hunt for where I was (assuming that is possible...)

Oh well...

Hey Robert, glad to see you back on the air. I'm a long time fan.
Quick suggestion: Add the duration somewhere on the page. I'd like to know in advance how much time I need to watch an interview.

Good luck!

P.S. Just before submitting this I noticed the previous comment suggests the same thing. I'll go ahead and submit anyway. Perhaps it will emphasize the need for this feature...?

Robert - really enjoyed the interview, good luck with the new venue.

One feature request: the in-browser viewer doesn't indicate total time of the episode/current time/time remaining. This can be very helpful. Thanks.
