For this week’s podcast, I’m turning the tables on reporters. Usually, I’m the one getting interviewed by the [press](http://philmckinney.com/press?ref=philmckinney.com). But for this weeks podcast, I interviewed Robert Scoble. Why? Well, in his own way, he has innovated the way people deliver news and how technology evangelists can be active parts of a company to help get the word out directly to the consumers. He is probably best known for his [Scobelizer blog](http://scobleizer.com/?ref=philmckinney.com) that he started while working at Microsoft. Since then, he launched[FastCompany.tv](http://www.fastcompany.com/video?ref=philmckinney.com) and is currently working at Rackspace and working “to build a new community of people fanatical about tech startups, called[building43.com](http://www.building43.com/?ref=philmckinney.com).”

Over the course of the podcast, we cover a wide range of topics including…

- Helping his mother build Apple II computers as a child.
- Working as an employee at HP while in high school, plugging components into motherboards.
- Robert’s time in junior college and his stalking of Steve Wozniak
- Robert’s time at Microsoft.
- His thoughts at some of the trends that you should be keeping your eyes on.
- … and more …
