I asked him about how his chapter in Founders at Work was written because I'm a big fan of the book. (I actually hold it up a lot in the interview.)

Because many of us read the book, I asked James questions that weren't covered in it. I think you'll learn some new ideas in my interview. Let me know if you don't.

Thanks for the follow-up. I only read the text excerpt because I didn't have time for the video. I'll see if I have time later to watch the whole thing.

Enjoyed the interview a great deal, thanks Andrew. His strategy for locking out the press was brilliant.

One thing - I'm unable to skip forward in the video. The Firefox beta crashed on me midway through watching, and being unable to restart the video halfway was maddening. Is this intentionally disabled?
