Jay Adelson, CEO at Digg, Inc., Chairman, Founder at Revision3 Corporation, Founder and former CTO of Equinix, Inc.
Happy Holiday of choice from The Plan8 Podcast. That is right people its that time where people of their chosen judeo-christian creed celebrates the modified form of the pagan festival for the winter solstice. But that all aside I have quite the special guest for you all today. He started out a boy raised in the Motor City. But shortly after college he developed; during the first Dot Com, the company that made the “inter” part of Internet actually mean interconnection. That man is Jay Adelson.
Founding Equinix, the company that provided a neutral point of interconnection for the segmented networks of the titan level powered networks of AOL, CompuServe, Prodigy, and other by gone big player ISPs of the early 90s. Jay Is also the CEO of one of the most popular social filtered news aggregating sites, Digg.com. That’s dee eye double gee, dot com. Also he is co-founder and is Chairman for the ever growing and popular podcast network, Revision3.
Again when I say he is a special guest, that is in all ways an understatement. His influence on the very fabric of how the internet is currently ran today has made it possible to have the internet we have today and as cheap of a price as it is now. His current ventures of Digg and Revision3 with respective TechTV alum co-founders Kevin Rose and David Prager are changing the landscape of how media is viewed on the internet now.
But listeners of my podcast know my modus operandi. For all my interviews I try to help my listeners discover what makes that special guest tick. What got them to do what they have done or are doing. So as usual I take Jay back on memory lane to discover his roots, particularly talking about:
- Jay’s childhood in Detroit
- Jay’s hobbies growing up
- What Jay’s parents were like
- Jay’s first major jobs
- Jay’s years shortly after graduating Boston University with a degree in Broadcast & Film with a minor focus in computer science.
- Jay’s passion for technology
- Jay’s views on the essence of democratic access to information
- Jay’s roller coaster adventures in startups and Silicon Valley
- Jay’s roll as a Father in the new digital world and how his children will grow up in it
- And much more …
I hope you all enjoy this because I know I did. And let it be known, Jay’s Wikipedia page is gonna need an major update after this comes out.
