Hello and welcome to the portal's first episode.

Today I'll be sitting down with Peter Teal.

Now if you've been following me on Twitter, or perhaps as a podcast guest on other podcasts,

you may know that I work for Teal Capital, but one of the things that people ask me most

frequently is, given that you are so different than your boss and friend Peter Teal,

how is it the two of you get along?

What is it that you talk about?

Where do you agree and disagree?

Now, oddly, Peter and I both do a fair amount of public speaking, but I don't believe that

we've ever appeared in public together, and very few people have heard our conversations.

What's more, he almost never mentions me, and I almost never mention him in our public

lives.

So hopefully this podcast will give some indication of what a conversation is like with

somebody who I find one of the most interesting and influential teachers of our time, somebody

who has influenced all sorts of people in Silicon Valley, involved with technology and inventing

tomorrow, and who has often not seen accurately, in my opinion, by the commentary and the regular

people who opine as pundits in the world of science and technology.

I hope you'll find Peter as fascinating as I do.

Without further ado, this is the first episode of the portal.

Thanks for joining us.

Hello, and welcome.
