So: for those of us familiar with pg's teachings (the shoe, thankyou, not the gourd), is there much that's worth watching the video for, or is it a rehash?

The Sequoia investor completely dominates the video, so take a look if you are interested in that perspective.

For me the most insightful idea was toward the end when Michael Moritz said that it's easier for small b2b companies to get a foothold during a recession, because during better times the big companies won't even listen to them. The idea being that during a recession big companies become desperate to get better results for less money. I hadn't thought about that, but it definitely seems true, at least in my case.

A transcript would be great.

probably you could use Amazon Mechanical Turk

I won't. But since they provided the interview, it'd be nice if they provided a transcript as well. A transcript which takes 2 min to read instead of watching an hour long video.

Efficiency. Look it up. Or have Mechanical Turk look it up for you.

It seemed that a bunch of people thought a transcript would be useful, and considering I was going to watch the video anyway, I decided to jot down some notes for anyone interested. It's not a transcript by any means, but I think you'll get the gist of the questions and answers.

The video is an hour, and I figured the notes were too long for posting here, so I threw them up on a private link on my Tumblr account: http://bit.ly/18I4Td

Why do they not allow fast forwarding? I want to get back to the 20 minutes mark but I cannot. Not worth watching that 20 minutes over again.

If you go to the building43.com page the video is on the top and it allows you to fast forward.
