    The Interviewer simply ruined it for me :
    -Checking phone while Interviewing
    -Weird laughs and actions
    -Inappropriate sitting posture
    -Unclear questions
    And Chamath, as always, raw, real and awesome!

    I have listened to NUMEROUS Corporate Leaders (over the last 7 days) .....My FAVOURITE TWO are Jeff Bezos and Chamath. Chamath is very special for his HUMILITY, CANDOUR, RAZOR SHARP mind and the manner he articulates himself. Truly amazing. I wish him the VERY BEST FOR HIS TARGET 2045. I have absolutely NO DOUBT that the World is going to hear a LOT MORE of him. God Bless

      Absolutely agree. I saw another clip of barely 1.55', and the interviewer looked at his phone twice. FFS, the guest you invited is speaking, taking the time from his life, and he can't even put his phone away for a bit? Utterly disappointed, and sorry for the guest.

    who ever talked about the Interviewer probably dint get the message. Few of the things i learnt here....
    1. Be open about learning from ( better ) ppl better.
    2. The process of learning is worth all the risk.
    3. There is work you can do on yourself to put yourself in a position to be excellent.
    4. This work is Thankless. No one will see this but it is what makes you powerful.
    5.You feel outta balance coz something that you value in life is outta wack. ( understand what u value )
    7. When your'e outta balance, you feel inferior, you indulge in negative self talk, self doubt, you project this outwards onto your'e world view and everything around you.
    8. When your'e outta balance, you feel stress, and stiffness in your body etc.. ......
    9. Find your triggers and slow it down and get to work. you need to change something to get back that balance.
    10. Finding that Balance is not everything, awareness is. Awareness is something you can actually work with.... it will give you a great start.... it will keep u going, there is always something new there....
    11. Dont be an entrepreneur for the sake of it, there must be something that drives you, drives you enough to make u wanna effect that change. There is energy in it. That will guide you.

      Pretty funny considering Chamath Palihapitiya's last talk at stanford had the best interviewer ever. These guys are obviously friends which makes it less cringey, but, if I were preparing for an interview with Palihapitiya, I would try and find a single digit number of questions that are really good and just let him talk. He's such a good speaker when the people interviewing him just let him rant.

    This is comment is in understanding what the interviewer actually did for this interview. He made Chamath comfortable enough to deep dive into his life. I think its easy to get irritated because the interviewer has a very "child like" approach but I do think it added to Chamath's comfortability. I think the environment plays a huge part in what you end up talking about and somehow, someway this environment was perfect for the kind of reflection it provided for Chamath to talk about.

Watch him on another chat, he's literally yelling "follow the effin money, who cares about your values. Only when you have money and power do your values matter." Then in this talk he's like, Oh I didn't want to just be a slave to money, I wanted to do what made me happy. All hot air. He's show business, thats all.
