Paul Gilding’s The Great Disruption at Seattle Town Hall

by Joshua on December 1, 2011 · 3 comments

I was finally able to get this video uploaded from Pirate TV onto vimeo (couldn’t get it to work on youtube). Anyway, I know it’s been a while, but I was really impressed with Paul’s talk (and him as a person) – not to mention I was privileged to introduce him for it! (not in the video). [...]

Free Money Day: Sharing Is Common Cents

Stunt Offers A New Perspective & An Opportunity To Spark Debate
