Peter Deakin: One of my premises for this podcast is to inspire entrepreneurs to go bigger than they have before. With all due respect to those people who are in the photo sharing app business, I keep on saying, we don't need another photo sharing app. Go after something that is going to change the world, impact lives with a billion people," he says. "It's just so much more rewarding, so much more fulfilling to know that you're really making a contribution"
