Hi, I'm Larry Sanger. I'm co-founder of Wikipedia and now chief information officer of

Everpedia and I am one of the passionate few.

Hey guys, welcome to this episode of the Passionate View podcast today. It's your host, Omar here.

And today we get to sit down and hear the incredible Wikipedia story from the co-founder, Larry

Sanger. Me and Larry sat down for the

better part of an hour and got to talk about not only how he built the website from scratch

with his partner, Jimmy Wales, but also how the two got together, how they met and how they

grew with the site to reach billions of people around the world. Also, we get to hear how

since Wikipedia, he's pivoted

and transitioned to be the chief information officer of Everettia, his latest project. And you guys,

trust me, you got to check out Everettia. We went down to the headquarters and actually

interviewed him there. And it's a startup that just got several millions of dollars of investment.

And they've had so much traction online and they really are becoming the ultimate platform online to become the encyclopedia of literally everything. So you can check that out at

everypedia.org. And also, I want to remind you guys before we get into this interview that if you

want to start your own show and reach your own dream guests the same way I reached mine two years ago, I want to remind you guys before we get into this interview that if you want to start your own show and reach your own dream guests, the same way I reached mine.
