Here’s another MP3 recording. It is my reading of Chapter 7: The Art of Raising Capital from The Art of the Start. It covers some of the same material as my blog entries, but sometimes hearing is believing.

Arrrrgggghhhhhhhhh!!!! First Slate, and now you. Is there anyone out there besides me that doesn’t enjoy being read to and hates it when content is moved from something you can read to something you have to listen to?
I guess I’m not a member of the podcast revolution :(
Is it really a big deal? You can always go out there and buy the book. In fact, I highly recommend it . . . worth the money.
He Steve, remind me not to drive next to you on the freeway.
1. Content is easier to be listen to while doing smth. else.
2. Audio has the feeling of a more real interaction w/ the audience.
3. It’a a good way to sell more books if the content is cool.
Hey, Guy, you’ve changed your blog title.
You need a show on Sirius. If just 1% of the people in China listened, you’d be bigger than Howard Stern.
That was a good listen. It is a lot of common sense. I use to think that it took a great idea that truly helped people. After listening to that I can see it still takes that plus a lot more.
If it makes you feel better, I don’t read while I drive :). Heck, I don’t even like to talk on my phone while I drive. And I don’t own a Blackberry so I never check email when I drive.
I enjoy reading and I can read faster than I can generally listen to someone read something to me (I hate lecturers who give you their whole presentation — though it does give me a chance to nap after I read it). I like this blog and I like Slate and so I get a little annoyed when they say “Check out this great content” but won’t let me read it.
My other thing is, and I have this thing with TV news as well, is that when I read something, I can control the mental filtering and my BS-detector, plus it’s easier for me to do any associated research I need in order to fully appreciate the content.
Maybe this just means I’m slow :)
Hey guy, is this you reading? I’ve never heard your voice before
I already read that in the book … hearing gave it a very different touch. It will help me a lot within our project WiktionaryZ and all its connected activities – a non profit project – one of those thought to make the world a better place.
Thank you!

Harry,
Yes, it’s me. Pidgin accent and all!
Shaka!

Guy, may be, it´s not the right post. During your interview with Technation you´ve said:
“If you are lucky you can hire smart people and if you are smart you can hire lucky people!”
You hit the nail on the head.
Thanks for the MP3. I have a long commute – podcasts and MP3s definitely help it to be productive time rather than just drive time.
Please consider providing a transcript for your podcasts – by not doing so, you discriminate against those who cannot hear. (Unlike those who cannot see, who can have web pages read as synthesised speech, technology is not yet able to transcribe automagically).
Thanks
