Summary

He's back! Roger McNamee is a Silicon Valley veteran who's mentored everyone from Steve Jobs to Bill Gates to Mark Zuckerberg. And more. But he's not here to talk about their success. He's here to talk about the ways their success is crippling our freedom. And how to change that. Before it's too late (also, I should say, I'm never a fan of "doom and gloom" marketing. This is not that. This is education. And knowledge. Which equals power.) This episode is the start of a privacy revolution. And you'll be glad to look back one day and say, "I remember how that got started." I write about all my podcasts!
