Billionaire's Chrome Fumble
Share
A story about interviewing a billionaire who was surprisingly tech-illiterate and had never done a podcast before.
"This was the first podcast he's ever done. When I tried to do research on him, there were no stories to find - normally we do research by watching their three most watched podcasts, but he had zero.
He had to download Google Chrome just to do the interview. He's like 'it's not letting me do this' and we're like 'just open Chrome' and he says 'what's Chrome?' I was like 'you're a billionaire, you don't know Google? What do you use?'
He's like 'Oh I think I have Chrome, hold on... I got Chrome, okay got it. Let me switch to my laptop, this is gonna work.' He was completely serious about it. When I asked him why he never does podcasts to tell his stories, he just said 'I don't know, I just never did.'"
