Live Podcast: Featured Guest Loïc Le Meur, Serial Entrepreneur and Blogger

As experience has taught me, there are leaders, and then there are Leaders – note the capital ‘L.’ In the case of Loïc Le Meur, one could argue he’s in a class all his own as a LEADER.

I first became aware of Loïc because of Seesmic and followed his exploits on video for some time until Seesmic desktop came along and enhanced everyone’s ability to use Twitter through the easy-to-use application.

Loïc’s reputation precedes him, and as a fellow type-A personality, I have lots to ask him about: everything from why he coined the phrase, “Advertising, PR, and Marketing Suck!” to how he was named “Young Global Leader” by the World Economic Forum in Davos. Yes, that World Economic Forum.

Recently called out by Business Week as one of The 25 Most Influential People on the Web, I am delighted Loïc joined me on The A-List today. Listen to the archive here:
