Hey guys, what's up? Welcome to another episode of The Creative Exchange. It is me. Saratiti,

rhymes with peach. Today is a very special episode because we have Nilai Patel with us,

the editor-in-chief of The Verge. Thank you for hanging out.

Yeah, thanks for having me on. Yeah, it's like such an honor. And you were just telling me

that you had a chance to interview Bill Gates at one point? Actually, Bill Gates was the editor of the

Verge for a month. We made him the honorary editor of the Verge for a month. Really? Yeah, so every

year he and his wife Linda have a foundation. They do very good philanthropic work out in the

world and he puts out a letter every year about the future. F've heard it's about the future. So we're talking to his people and ideas back and forth

and I was like, what do we just make him our like editor for the month? And so he, we went out to

Seattle. This is actually a wild story. We taped a bunch of B-roll outside his office. And then we

put this video together and we then we got this call.

It's like, you have to, you can't like show this lake.

They'll figure out where Bill Gates's office is.

Oh my gosh.

So it was his private office?

Yeah, it was wild.

Wow.

And he's obviously brilliant.

And so yeah, we had this very long interview with him where we talked about the future.

And then we took all of that. So you didn't actually edit the site, right? It's a very honorific title.

Right.

He spent all this time with us telling us what he thought was important in the things that he was investing in.
