Rich Karlgaard, Forbes Editor and Publisher, talks about his book Life 2.0. I sat down with Rich at the Telecosm conference in Lake Tahoe. I was impressed with Rich. Not only a good guy but very smart. We talk a little about web 2.0 but afterward Rich and talked about the massive shift going on in the media today. (note: I taped this podcast before the famous Forbes cover story was published).

Karlgaard joined Forbes in 1992 to start Forbes ASAP along with the writer and futurist George Gilder and Forbes chief executive Steve Forbes.
While editing ASAP, Karlgaard worked with writers such as Tom Wolfe, Mark Helprin, Camille Paglia, Peter Drucker, Robert Kaplan, Stanley Crouch, Esther Dyson, Gore Vidal, William F. Buckley, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, William Gibson, Kurt Vonnegut, and many others.

Before starting ASAP, Karlgaard co-founded and edited Upside magazine, a monthly magazine covering the computer industry and high-tech investment. Karlgaard also co-founded the 2,500 member Churchill Club, a nonprofit public affairs organization located in Silicon Valley. For this effort, he was named a Northern California winner of the 1997 Ernst & Young “Entrepreneur of the Year” award.

In 1997, as a hobby, Karlgaard co-founded garage.com with Guy Kawasaki and Craig Johnson. garage.com is the leading Web-based startup capital firm in the world, whose investors include Compaq chairman Ben Rosen. Karlgaard remains a board member of garage.com.
