Interview with Dux Raymond Sy (17:10)
The below questions paraphrase Jay and Craig’s side of the conversation with Dux, the answers are his own words.
You’re a very inspiring speaker, you bring a big personality and high energy to the room. How do you do it?
I’ve been in this business over 20 years now, and I feel like we need some energy and we need some vibrance in the tech ecosystem, so why not? The way I look at it is we’re in an exciting field, so going up on stage, dancing, singing, shouldn’t be out of the ordinary. The way I think about it is edutainment, the way I think about it is how I learn. If I’m engaged I will learn, although I realize that one cannot overdue it, because if you overdue it it will be cheesy or you’ll loose your credibility,
