My PodTech Interview : Learning by Embarrassment

podtech.net has published a video interview with Robert Scoble and
me ( recorded 6 weeks ago). Interview length = 26 minutes. Time I needed to watch it = 65 minutes. I don´t know how many times I pushed that pause button but boy it was alot of pausing!!!

It´s interesting how much we learn about ourselves when we see some video material. It was my second day in the US and I´m not happy with how I communicated the vision behind Supercool School but I´m already looking forward to compare the next video interview with it and to see the progress.

I used to do alot of video coaching and training back in the days and today I remembered why :)

You can acquire true wisdom by watching yourself on video - confucius would have loved it!

I even thought about not publishing it on my blog. That´s when I knew that the only right thing to do was to publish it! We are such ego driven creatures - and overcoming ego means true learning.

So without further ado...I bring to you...

***And by the way: you can read my first peopleized interview here. Now, I´m officially podteched & peopleized ;)

UPDATE: My bro Jim from BlackInBusiness posted an interview on his blog we made about the status of education for black students in America. Check it out since he asked some very interesting questions. Seems like today is the supercool interview day ;)

SECOND UPDATE: Wow - have a look at this clever guy - he asked me some questions @ peopleized and I just answered them because I wanted to support my buddies Halil & Euripidis. His questions seemed to be pointless at first. Now go and read what he had in mind when he interviewed me - damn clever & devilish sharp!

yeah, you are your worst critic that and there were so many interruptions...this is a very interesting subject and cons against it; the thing i love is that it really doesn't threaten the establishment. Children will always need a physical presence available. The con is that as a teacher I have worked very hard for my certification and experience and I want that to be validated. He had a point by saying that it will in an open source world just by the seer audience...however audience takes time and a good class is one where a teacher can tailor to individual's needs and that takes time. What subjects do you plan on offering? --clau

Hi there - great interview :) and a great topic - I have always been fascinated by teaching and the more I travel the more I realize how many teaching methods are there. Your story reminds me of myself - 10 years ago I left Hungary for South Africa with a suitcase and a violin - I also started with various projects - all of it - training related - most of it - free training - I used free training opportunities to learn more about the country - I have also experimented with skill-exchanges which worked really well. Best of luck with settling down in the USA, looking forward to the launch of Superschool. ... and thanks for the interview!
