Yesterday I had the pleasure of sitting in front of the mic together with Eric Schwartzman (@EricSchwartzman) to record an episode of On The Record Online podcast dedicated to the upcoming LeWeb conference that will take place in Paris (8th-9th Dec.). @Erik: Thanks for having me! 🙂

Here you’ll find more info about what I’ll create for LeWeb…

In this episode we are joined by two other Official Le Web conference bloggers, Tara Hunt (@missrogue), CEO/Shwowp, Author/The Whuffie Factor and blogger at http://www.horsepigcow.com and Algerian blogger Ismail Chaib (@iChaib) who currently lives in France where he is studying for his Masters while serving as co-founder of VC-funded start-up ASQ.

Before we dive into a discussion of the agenda and survival tips for getting the most out of the conference, we talk about Facebook Messaging, the impact of globalization and technology on the economy and the world outside the tech bubble. I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please consider sharing it with your network.

Erick is such a great host so I hope you’ll enjoy the conversation I had with him, Tara and Chaib as much as I did!
