Reminds me of TED talks, very convenient to listen to. I like Keith’s summary and insight. In my business, it is hard to be too entrepreneurial or innovative in terms of the actual products, since those are delivered by third parties, but we can try to enhance our services in an innovative way, ultimately helping our customers by adding actual value. I’m looking forward to the day I’ll feel comfortable devoting some time to try another business endeavour and possibly invest into some young talent. Thank you for the inspiration, Om!

Om, it's great that you're bringing video onto the site. But this video needs a lot of editing and shortening - it should have been a 3-minute clip.

To be honest, after watching half of it, I wanted to strangle the interviewee. Did he have too much coffee, or was it something stronger? Gawd:)

Sorry, i was trying so hard to be positive :-)

My freaking God this guy is an Assclown! First of all he's failed to realize that the Valley Girl has been dead for over a decade. For crying out loud, learn how to speak. Every phrase should not end with a question mark? Next, up, entrepreneurs are at their prime in their twenties? Ha! History and data suggest they are at their prime in their forties. Lastly, if your "not qualified" to understand a "technology" company (what the hell is the difference between a technology company and an Internet company? Does he mean B2B vs B2C?) then how can you be investing in one and not the other? Good luck with Slide, I hope the company survives you're idiotic advice...
