Jason & Chamath Palihapitiya at Hack the North: money, markets, motivation & mercenaries

This week Jason sits down with Chamath Palihapitiya, Founder and Managing Partner of The Social+Capital Partnership, at Hack the North, Canada's Largest International Hackathon at University of Waterloo. Chamath shoots straight from the heart & hip on a number of topics, including the mercenary culture in Silicon Valley, why the best companies don't come out of incubators, the great opportunities in health care, education, and finance, and why passion is king (hint: you'll fail if you do anything only for the money).

I love watching and listening to Chamath. Always delivers no bullshit advice.

[@landyndonovan9958]

you all probably dont give a shit but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my login password. I love any tips you can offer me!

Listening Jason and Chamath Palihapitiya talk is like having Isaac Newton and Richard Feynman talk about entrepreneurship and life.

[@timsok]

This is a gem

[@surajrayaprolu793]

Wow I absolutely love the intro for the video, what’s the song?

[@luxushauseragency]

Impressive. An entrepreneur embedded in realism.

[@ShawnThuris]

The advice at 6:02 is awesome.

[@4363HASHMI]

I think that's ChamPals favourite shirt

[@manuriweerasinghe1303]

Chamath you are truly mazing

[@you9111able]

Just utterly incredible

[@phillipahn1655]

I was 20 minutes in and hit the 2nd ad and went straight to this comment to say im leaving. It completely destroys the flow of the interview.

[@MrAntonijevic]

These ads he does make the video watching experience hard to bare with.

[@DheerajBhaskar]

Use youtube sponsor block. Some content creators have gone overboard with ads. They think hey 8 mins on a half-hour TV programme worked, let's top that

[@MrNgueyong]

Great Interview (JASON). Love this guy (Chamath). Like Chris Saka they just tell it like it is and it is not because of the wealth they have now. I suspect they have always been like this which is great :)

[@farschmessivo]

Hat tip to Jason Calacanis

[@marianascausari15]

[@okybastian.5840]

1:00:00

[@parthv5597]

45:00 what?

[@trashpanda7859]

😂🤣😂 🤟

[@PhiTonics]

Jason's adds are just so bad 🤣

[@hamburger.9616]

He is a hacker.

[@hamburger.9616]

He hacked Spanish Channels.

[@harison7778]

How do you know?

[@meadowheitz4029]

13:05 What are they laughing about? Could someone please explain the joke? =/

[@solongsucka]

+Wei Mira He fucked two good products.

[@meadowheitz4029]

+solongsucka Chamath fucked up both ICQ and AIM?? For real? lol

[@solongsucka]

Wei Mira Thats what the dude is saying. I guess. And apparently his career at Winamp was also spiralling down after. Is English your first language? Or are you just stupid in general?

[@meadowheitz4029]

English is not my first language that's why I couldn't make out the words Jason was saying but I don't know I could be pretty stupid in general too lol thanks dude

[@solongsucka]

Wei Mira Cool. Thanks for clarifying. It is ok to be stupid. That is how you grow. Admitting you are stupid is the smartest thing one can do. Best of luck in your journey.
