Episode notes

In the 90s, if you told somebody like, listen, this is not the quality of work we expect here. You're fired. That's what you expect if you did a bad job. So I don't know what's going on with the sort of benchmark of this, but that one seemed profoundly unfair and it's continued. But there's a reaction to that, which is people now are tuning into podcasts to get their information. Now I'm unique in that. I'm a journalist who turn who was an entrepreneur.

All-In’s Jason Calacanis joins to talk about how he broke into media and how it impacted his success as an entrepreneur. Plus the origins of blogs and the early internet, tech in journalism today, his own experiences as a podcaster and interview, and finally the Kanye controversy.
