Scot & Chuck: [0:40] Hey Jason in welcome back Jason Scott show listeners, Jason will real fortunate to have with us this week would I consider to be one of the Statesman of digital and e-commerce truck Davis, Chuck and I overlapped on the shop.org board for a little bit there and get to know each other and we've been trying to get him on the show for a while and finally all the moons and stars aligned and where, excited to have Chuck on the show today welcome Chuck thank you I'm glad to be here thanks for having me. Jason: [1:09] Entirely our pleasure, so usually won't have gas on I like to sort of memorize the the key digital places they've work so that I can you introduce your background of the audience but in your case that was impossible I couldn't remember all the cool places you had work. Scot & Chuck: [1:25] Yeah I don't know about that but I am you want me to jump in on that. [1:32] Okay well I'm 22 years in digital following a publishing career so the 22 years of digital. You know I think it's better to start off in the beginning I started at time Inc and I I was, on the life monthly magazine that was briefly alive after the weekly went out of business and it was very important part of my career because, weekly life Saturday evening post look all went out of business because they had one Revenue stream they really had two but one they gave away in that would circulation maybe they were getting $0.10 a week but they were getting a dollar a week and add Revenue, and when television came those Publications went away cuz he Advertiser switch to TV so on my first job at life, I learned there had to be two revenue streams they should be 50/50 and I went on a Sports Illustrated next.

So there were a bunch of startups in Northern Cal and I landed a Disney in Southern Cal to start their e-commerce and that word e-commerce had not been invented yet. So a Michael Ovitz was President he had been there 11. I was only there is present for 11 months and he says Chuck who knows if this internet thing as a fat or not but if it's a fad will find y
