My guest this week, Eugene Wei, has one of the most interesting backgrounds of anyone I've had on the podcast. He worked at Amazon early in its life, was the head of product at Hulu and Flipboard and head of video at Oculus. Our conversation is about the intersection of technology, media, and culture. We discuss Eugene's concept of invisible asymptotes, why growth slows down for both companies and people and how some can burst through. I'd list more of the topics but we covered so much that you should just listen.
Finally, I'll say that after spending a day with Eugene, including a wildly interesting dinner with Eugene, past podcast guest, Sam Hinkie, and future podcast guests, Kevin Kwok, that he is the type of uniquely interesting and kind person I'm always searching for, and one that I wish I could bet on somehow. If you know more people like this, reach out and suggest them for this podcast, now enjoy our conversation. We're going to jump all over the place because, again, of your smorgasbord of interests, and this notion of travel is a good excuse to talk about your idea of Cuisine and Empire, walk us through that concept.
