BIO:
Scoble gives you a front-row seat on the future.
Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram.
Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc).
That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace.
Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble
He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993.

SPEAKER PITCH:
Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next.
SPEECH ABSTRACT #1:
TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology?
Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI
Why "the Fourth Transformation?"
Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap.
This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV.
This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business.

SPEECH ABSTRACT #2:
"The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law."
Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world.
He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world.
He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small.
++++++++
SPEECH ABSTRACT #3:
"Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?"
As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world.
What role does augmented reality play in both worlds?
Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

Tom may have done more harm to himself, not so sure other CEO’s will want to be interviewed by him, they are probably worrying how Tom will sabotage the interview or make them look bad if they happen to do anything that could possibly miff Tom.

People who have power should use it with more caution.
Notice how Jon Stewart has changed his interviewing with celebrities? He was harsh and very critical in his earliest shows. I am sure people stopped coming to his shows.
A podcaster needs more and more CEOs. Ofcourse CEOs need podcasters, too. 🙂

I agree with Estelle. This may have been a career limiting move on Tom’s part. This is another example of how podcasters may not be taken seriously by the business world. Sure Dave should have kept his commitments, but maybe he had what he felt were more pressing issues to deal with.

I’m sorry but this is a hysterical commentary on power and the media.
Perhaps you’re all right about Tom’s future with the C-level set… but how many of you had routinely listened to him prior to this clever move? I’ve heard his interviews before, and they’re pretty high-quality. I think this approach to being stood up is handled in a self-deprecating enough manner to comem across as amusing and not strictly an embittered journalist. I’m sure if the delay had been met with a resched or at least some apologizing (which in my opinion is required no matter how important or busy you become) he may not have reacted this way.
Anyway, I’m obviously in the minority here. But I’ve been on both sides of this equation: plugging my book or my company, and sick and tired of hearing my own voice during an interview and wishing to god I didn’t have to give another performance. I’ve also been late for an interview or two myself, but never disrespectful. I think there’s a big difference.
As a journalist, producer and podcaster, I’ve also been the interviewer of some pretty important VIP’s …and it’s more than a bit disheartening when you show up excited and well-prepared only to be greeted with that look that says, “You’re not the WSJ so remind me why my publicist set this %$#@! thing up??” Over time, we’ve built up a reputation and an audience and overcome that condecension. But when you’re starting out, it’s not for the faint of heart.
IMHO, Tom’s response is a humorous breath of fresh air to the challenges of being a journalist, and a great survival strategy for pursuing access to people who often conflate their own inflluence and importance with a free pass on etiquette, civility and professionalism.

LayZ,
in my own post on this I mentioned that:
My contact has since emailed with an apology but I haven’t heard from David at all (nor do I expect to at this point).
I had spent a considerable amount of time preparing for this interview. I had re-scheduled it to yesterday at very short notice to accomodate David and then he didn’t show.
I figured I might as well get a bit of a laugh, if nothing else, for the time and energy I spent on this.

Oops,
forgot to also say thanks to Megan for the kind words and the support.
On the career limiting comments – this was podcast no. 40 for PodLeaders. PodLeaders has published podcasts with Vint Cerf, Bruce Horn, Robert Scoble, Marc Canter, Steve Rubel, Jeff Clavier, Loic Le Meur, John Battelle, Niall Kennedy, Dave Sifry and Kevin Burton amongst others.
I think PodLeader’s record as a quality content producer can stand one fun-poking podcast.

Anyone who spends time reading Tom’s stuff knows he’s a fair and balanced reporter of fact. He rarely if ever dabbles in speculation, is very well connected and treats people with respect. He’s also kind and considerate with schmuks like me who aren’t the geekiest in the world.
Tom did everything he could to make the show work and neither David nor his handlers had the decency or wit to communicate a delay. It’s not the worst sin in the world but it’s irksome nonetheless.
If folk think that’s career limiting, then they must be of that school of thought that elevates CXOs to God like status. They’re not. They’re human. Like the rest of us.
Folk would have had something to complain about if he’d taken David to task but he didn’t. He applied some Irish humour to the situation which I personally felt came off well.
In a nansecond or two we’ll forget all about it and David will come back with a quip of his own. I hope.

Hey I interviewed David and he was very much on time, and we got a neat interview for Lifehack.org.
Who knew? I suppose things can come up.
One thing this does lightlight (parroting some of the above) is that new media doesn’t have some of the same built in hmm… requirements to play nice? And yes, maybe the Jon Stewart example is good.
But, doesn’t this make it all more REAL? Politely *not* running the hold music interview means that no one would know this happened.
David’s a nice guy, though. Just saying.

Just a quick follow-up,
I have had an email exchange with David and the first thing he said was
We have re-scheduled the interview.
Good on you Dave for taking it in the spirit in which it was intended.
