    @norik000: the “no slides” means we will have to attend to next meetings like these :)

    @ihateuutube He, and his organization, have already achieved greatness

  5. zexsports says:

    LOVE this video

  6. xekind says:

    @ihateuutube He doesn’t have his head up his ass; he’s actually pretty uniquely grounded in reality as far as startups go. And in case you you weren’t listening, he doesn’t want to be a “true tech titan (ttt (C))”.

    I appreciate David’s points and really like he other talks. He may come off the wrong way some way, we all do!

    I like the breakdown of the economics 101, esp. to the facebook-model-billionaire mindset. Its a mindset, not a viable business plan. David sheds light on good practices for a real business strategy and a successful life.

    A breathe of fresh air. Thanks David!

    Nice presentation, but this guy is a pretentious, self-righteous douchebag. There’s a reason that he won’t ever be a true tech titan. It isn’t for want of trying or lack of desire. It’s because he has his head too far up his own ass to ever achieve greatness.

    The thing about aiming at the smallest businesses reminds me of the long tail, just the other way around, being the businesses going after the small invidual companies.

    This talk is hilarious.

  11. norik000 says:

    loved it so much, but very poor quality no screen of the slides and sound was not sync

    Some real great wisdom on here. There is room between mom ‘n’ pop and billionaire.

    Thanks, this guy never fails in motivating me. Now back to work! :P

    Ohh my God…The pitching voice of this kid makes the listening a pure torture…!! Simple unbareable…

    This video reveals David’s simple genius. I have never liked the tech subculture – “Make a billion being bought by Google/Facebook/…whoever.” I still think a million is a lot of money. I hope that I would be humbled if I had command of that much wealth. Just solve a problem and make money, create some jobs for goodness sake.

  16. FrancescoK says:

    I feel both dumb and more motivated after watching this.

  17. chibbledorf says:

    This is one of the best motivational/entrepreneurial/business presentations that I’ve ever seen.

    The guy is really good.

  18. jfrumar says:

    the video with slides is available on Omnisio (dot com)

  19. webtweakers says:

    would be nice if we could see what’s on the screen…
