Molly Holzschlag was part of a core group (and the most publicly-facing woman) who were influential in the development of what we now know as the world wide web. She helped define a path for the web’s future that was ethical and served humanity.

Ashley Esqueda returns to talk about working on a daily talk show (Tomorrow Daily on CNET), the considerations that go into a decision to have (or not have) kid, and a dozen more things that make her fascinating.

Brett met Kelly Guimont while writing for TUAW. She is now writing for The Mac Observer, in addition to doing social media and support for TextExpander. Their discussion covers life as a professional blogger and podcaster, leaving secure day jobs, and the trials of being a full-time freelancer. Also, a music-heavy Top 3 Picks that offers new listening materials for everybody!

Grant Robertson joins Brett to talk about life as a product manager, team diplomacy, and bridging the gap between tech and design.

Rich Stevens---webcartoonist and fellow ESN podcaster---joins Brett to talk about how we get things done in spite of ourselves.

Rabbi Eric Linder talks with Brett about Judaism, Broadway musicals, and high cholesterol…but mostly Broadway musicals (not really, but sort of…if you think about it).

Evan Lovely, traveling web developer

You’d need to be a productivity expert to do all the things that Mike Vardy does. He’s also a writer, speaker, podcaster, and a productivity strategist. He joins Brett to talk about what he’s learned about writing, time management, tea, and (of course) productivity.

David Allen, author of Getting Things Done, joins Brett to discuss the origin of this nerd hero, what’s for breakfast, and learning to love fine wine.

Joel Anderson, research lecturer in Philosophy at Utrecht in the Netherlands, joins me to talk about tagging. It’s a nerdy subject that a lot of non-nerds are asking about these days, and one that I personally find fascinating. I hope you’ll enjoy hearing two people who’ve dedicated time and research to the topic debate the major benefits and pitfalls of tag-based systems!
