The New York Times recently wrote about this hot new app that has been the buzz among technology insiders for a while — Clubhouse.1 There are rumors of the app getting financed at a valuation of around $100 million. I have been on the service since the very beginning, but co-founder Paul Davison made me promise not to say anything about it. As a beta tester, it is amazing to see how fast Paul and his co-founder, Rohan Seth have improved on the original idea. I love the concept. I will explain why, in a separate post.

Today, however, I wanted to share this video interview of Davison when he was the founder and CEO of Highlight, an ambient location app. This “back in the day” chat is split into four parts — sorry about that — and showcases why I find Paul interesting.

PS: I hate to give views to the guys who own the website now because they have abused the editorial values and integrity since acquiring it and turned it into a giant advertorial.
