He founded the World Internet Project 19 years ago and has presented his insights to the White House, the FCC, and the Department of Defense. He’s testified before congress, he’s held a joint press conference with President Bill Clinton, he even produced two films with Vice President Al Gore. This week on The Rules of Investing, we’ll discuss the current media landscape in Australia and how it’s changing, the bleak future for employment, and what went wrong for MoviePass, which caused its parent company to fall more than 99.999%.
