TBPN highlights from Launch Day

For those who aren’t familiar, TBPN (Technology Business Programming Network) is a live, daily tech and business talk show streaming for three hours. It’s a Silicon Valley staple. 

TBPN is run with strong journalistic practices and serious topics. It’s also truly fun to be a guest, so my launch day conversation with TBPN’s entrepreneurs and creators John Coogan and Jordi Hays was action-packed. 

Because the show runs in 30 minute segments, we had time not only to explore Incorruptible’s main themes and tools, but to go deep on one of the companies I profile in the book, the Mondragon Corporation. It’s one of Spain’s largest companies, made up of a network of independent worker cooperatives employing 80,000 people. It would be hard to talk about a company this complex and interesting in a quick soundbyte or two, but TBPN’s format allows for tons of detail and discussion. 

And then there was the fun. As we talked about reforming our financial systems and other topics from the book, there was an air horn, they anointed me with sunglasses, and we finished the segment with John’s gong. You’ll have to watch to see what we were talking about when this happened…

I’ll have a full media round up for you on Friday morning with the rest of the launch week coverage.
