Thanks for the comment. I really like the iinnovate podcast. Can you share any details about your setup? A couple of people have asked me about video podcasting, and I like your method. Do you just use a regular video camera? What mics do you use to record the sound?

I thought the Schmidt podcast contrasted nicely with the Jung podcast on the point about experience. Schmidt says a wide range of experience serves you well; Jung says a lot of experience can limit your ability to succeed in a new marketplace.

You guys really interview cool people. Keep it up.

Thanks for your comment. The topic of engagement intrigues me. When I was studying creative writing and exploring post-graduation options, one professor explained that I could do “shift work,” an 8-hour job that I simply did for pay while I fueled my creative energy into literary writing. That struck me as a strange life, leading a dual existence: shift worker by day, novelist by night.

It seems difficult to be engaged in multiple things. One only has so much time, and the Leonardo Da Vinci’s of this world (one who excels at everything) are disappearing. I respect all types of engagement, so long as one is at least engaged and passionate about something — even if it’s just family.

Anyway, thanks for the post, and stay tuned for more cool speakers.

Now that I’m an editor, though, I’m not as interested in pursuing music as much–I find the various aspects of cognition, communication, and learning so absorbing that these fields pretty much take up my free time too (when I’m not doing stuff with my family).
