“I really enjoy talking to people.”
Every year at WPPI in Las Vegas, I have dinner with Jason Hsiao. This past year was maybe our 10th or 11th time. I’ve really lost count. I cannot say enough about how much I admire Jason. Yes, he is the one of the founders and president of Animoto…a successful tech company in New York City. But he’s a million things more than that. He’s a good man in every sense of those words. I’ve wanted to interview him since day one of this show’s inception. But the night before, we had our annual WPPI dinner and he said that he had an idea. That idea turned out to be that he wanted to Turn the Tables and interview me. And so that’s just what we did. Thank you, Jason. You are one of the best friends I’ve ever had and one of the best men I’ve ever known.
