Cameron has been an inspiration to me ever since I first saw him take the stage during the second instance of Brooklyn Beta. He is thoughtful, yet candid. And he loves a good rant.

In this episode, we talked about Brooklyn Beta and Kinference, the many creative endeavors he's done in between, and his perspective about the tech industry, and the importance of our current moment in the history of tech.

I first met @its.mayagold during an interview at Facebook HQ many moons ago.
