Episode notes

I don't care what you think of me, right? I inventa wicupedia, so i'm happy. So anything else i want to do now, it's my right to screw things up and do it wrong and fail and whatever. It's a little embarrassing when a failure happens, but it's really more about saying, if if you want to innovate, unless you're on the brink of failure, in some sense, you're probably not actually innovating. Because if you're trying something new and untested, obviously you're gong to get it wrong. Sometimes you'll get it right - sometimes as well. There is an idea that silicon valley has its flaws

Chris Hirst, Global CEO of advertising group Havas Creative, cuts through the bullshit and gets to the heart of modern leadership in this straight-talking podcast brought to you by Intelligence Squared. In this episode Chris Hirst speaks to the internet pioneer and Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales who is perhaps the most famous silicon-valley entrepreneur to not become a billionaire. Wikipedia has changed how knowledge is accessed across the world, with 1.5 billion devices accessing the site every month. Jimmy Wales is also founder of the Wikimedia Foundation and co-founder of Wikia, a privately owned free web hosting service he set up in 2004. In 2019 he founded WT.Social, a microblogging site pitched as a 'non-toxic social network...where advertisers don't call the shots'. The service contains no advertisements and runs off donations.
