ADAM CURRY | The Origins Of Value For Value, Living An Amazing Life & The New Age Of Podcasting 2.0

Mere Mortals

How did Adam come up with the Value for Value model and why does this work perfectly with the advances of Podcasting 2.0?

In Conversation #66 Adam and I discuss: buying a Belgian castle with a helipad, the core principles of V4V, the different stages of No Agenda and refining the model, how he crashed a motorbike whilst dressed as Elvis, favourite books/languages/travel, the importance of Bitcoin & micropayments, his amazing ability to be at the forefront of movements and why he wants to be remembered for Podcasting 2.0.

As always, we hope you enjoy. Mere Mortals out!
