One On One with Pierre Omidyar

Written by: Guy Kawasaki

Article Overview: My preview of Woz’s book, I, Woz, got me thinking of engineers who embody purity. Another outstanding example of this is Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay. On September 5, 2000, I did a “fireside chat” with Pierre at a Garage event in London. Here is a video of this interview:

One On One with Pierre Omidyar

My preview of Woz’s book, I, Woz, got me thinking of engineers who embody purity. Another outstanding example of this is Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay. On September 5, 2000, I did a “fireside chat” with Pierre at a Garage event in London. Here is a video of this interview:

Here is an MP3 recording if you want to only listen to the interview:

Here is a great written synopsis of the interview.

Like Woz’s book, the interview provides many insights into innovation, invention, and entrepreneurship. I hope that you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed conducting the interview.

Speaking of eBay, I'll be speaking at eBay Live on Tuesday if any of you are going to be there. My topic is the “Art of Evangelism.”
